Good. The old commie.
Or some other place.
Somewhere a solitary Commie is crying.
Pete Seeger - the smiling musical Communist.
In a different lifetime, I met him. Nothing much, but he played a little song for me when I complimented him. Since then, my eyes have been opened about what the American left is. I hope his family finds peace and turns from leftism.
shedding no tears
Honestly, I won’t dance on his grave, but I’m not mourning his loss either. He had a love affair with Mumia Abu Jamal, Che, Fidel, etc. He was great granddaddy of useful idiots.
Never got into his music. Learned some 5-string from his book though. It was pretty good. Still can’t believe how The Weavers butchered “Good Night Irene.”
I find it amazing that people like Seeger and Castro can live long, long lives and still not abandon the inane ideology of their youth, despite experiencing a lifetime of its failures. People who are genuine idealogs must be, in a sense, psychopaths.
Well, at least Seeger never killed or imprisoned anybody, to my knowledge, which is much more than I can say for Fidel Castro.
I grew up in the 60s listening to Peter Paul and Mary, The Kingston Trio and others. My parents bought the records and I really enjoyed them. They were funny...”The MTA”, and sad, “PollyVon”, “Tom Dooley”...and exciting, “By the Rising of the Moon.”... and most of all, they were beautiful and beautifully sung with amazing harmonies. My dad had a beautiful voice and sang in choruses in college and I think that is where he gained an appreciation for this kind of singing.
As I grew into conservatism, I saw that some of the songs had these left-leaning lyrics, but that has not turned me away from all folk music.
No comment.
Poor guy keeps dying over and over and over.

In the Spring of 41, Seeger recorded a 'peace song' that was released in New York record stores the day before Hitler's invasion of Russia. Seeger spent the next several days running around NYC to all those stores pulling all the records back.
The guy was a Commie and puppet of Stalin first and a 'folk singer' second.
He just couldn’t help his love for communism; he must have been elated at the end to see his views triumph in the USA.
I have had a lifelong pit-of-my-stomach hatred of this clown, including his stupid commie face, his stupid commie voice and his stupid commie stardom. That he was enriched by a central tenet of the society he hoped would fall and be trampled on disgusts me. There’s a gasbag gang of his acolytes that has taken over our State Capital building - who every day invade and sing these gasbag songs over and over and over, it’s Pete Seeeeeeg-er, click!, Pete Seeeeeg-er, click!, Pete Seeeeeeg-er!, click! Sung in in a taunting, pompously sonorous tone by his little commie friends - on and on and on. If I worked there I’d be daydreaming of sending a detachment of Praetorian guards with very sharp swords to collect a few heads. Puke!
He spawned a whole generation of creatures that invaded my nice state of Oregon. There were many folk groups that told stories without having to support destruction of everything we’ve built.
HE LIVED ON LONG ISLAND, I THINK HUNTINGTON. I USED TO SEE HIM DRIVING IN ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN HIS VOLKSWAGEN
