Is accessible folk music a gateway to synth rock?

My love of early '80s synth rock cannot easily be overstated. I am also a big fan of certain folk acts. Coincidence? I think not.

The connection is simple. Watch this performance by The Kingston Trio, and then this video from Van Halen. You can't tell me those guys aren't all dorks.

God as depicted throughout the ages. No Alanis Morissette, and, no, that isn't ironic.

My room is a mess, my painting unfinished.

...and I still haven't found a good alternative to my scanner with its missing power-cord. Almost finished with this painting, though. I just need to put in a bus seat in front of and behind the passenger. Incidentally, the Seattle Metro buses have the ugliest upholstery I can remember seeing, and I spent five years working at a used furniture store.
