	I have lots of trouble with the association of Minstrels or Troubadours with the Fools' Guild and the idea that they would similarly restrict themselves to dated and hackneyed material. Certainly in Roundworld history they were the ''Daily Show'' of the age, presenting news and commentary as entertainment and writing new material constantly. I don't remember any canonical denial of this in Discworld either, only that the particular Minstrel wasn't very good at it. --[[User:Old Dickens\|Old Dickens]] 01:11, 12 June 2011 (CEST)<BR>		I have lots of trouble with the association of Minstrels or Troubadours with the Fools' Guild and the idea that they would similarly restrict themselves to dated and hackneyed material.

Old Dickens: No Fools

No Fools

New page

I have lots of trouble with the association of Minstrels or Troubadours with the Fools' Guild and the idea that they would similarly restrict themselves to dated and hackneyed material. Certainly in Roundworld history they were the ''Daily Show'' of the age, presenting news and commentary as entertainment and writing new material constantly. I don't remember any canonical denial of this in Discworld either, only that the particular Minstrel wasn't very good at it. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 01:11, 12 June 2011 (CEST)
