“An NYC waitress told me he was famous for NEVER tipping.”
This was because Seeger was following the example of Leon Trotsky, who never tipped, in the belief that he was inciting revolutionary consciousness in the wait staff.
Anyway, “America’s best loved commie” has finally croaked. Let him now assume his place as First Peoples’ Commissar of Soviet Hell (from the Kingston Trio song).
Of course Commies will say that Stalin wasn’t a “real Communist”.
Stalin was the perfect Communist...he applied Marx and Lenin’s theories “To a T.”
It was the Limeliters.
And remember the old joke. "Do you want to go to Soviet hell or capitalist hell?" "Soviet hell. In Soviet hell the heating doesn't work."
