I recall a story I heard about Seeger. From the Hitler-Stalin pact in 1939 up until Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in June, 1941, the American commie party was a 'peace party' and used all their propaganda and even some sabatoge, trying to stop US aid to England and Nationalist China.

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.

Exactly! His group, The American Peace Movement, changed its name on December 7th, 1941 to the American People's Movement and took a 180 degree turn to pro-war, knowing which side their bread was buttered on. Later on Burl Ives broke with the group to continue working in show business and Pete was wounded sorely.. communist jacka$$.

Read the article in the New Republic that discusses that. Seeger was anti-war before it was kewl.... Anti WWII that is. Took his marching orders straight from the Kremlin.
