Look every folkie by an large was pals with Pete Seeger . . .
Pete Seeger was the one who had to be restrained from taking an ax to the stage wires when Bob Dylan, backed by a few members of the original Butterfield Blues Band (Mike Bloomfield, Jerry Arnold, and Sam Lay) plus Al Kooper (on keyboards), tried to play an electric set at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Something about "purifying" the music or some such rot. Then he cut an album with three members of the Blues Project backing him up. So much for "purity," eh, Pete?
That said, RIP Mary Travers. To this day, I'll swear that "Puff, the Magic Dragon" and "Too Much of Nothing" were your best records.
Sadly Seeger did not try to take an axe to the main power cords. Little commie facist.
He would have gotten an express ride to hell to be with his buddy Stalin.
