Well, Andy - perhaps the point you made ought to have been 'who here gives a monkeys about...'. However, Dianna's film is I suspect not aimed at a small number of enthusiasts here and more at a large market of potentially interested audience. She'll include contemporary musicians because there is a fighting chance that this group of people will have actually have heard of him. I do not imagine the same could be said of The Strawbs.
