A great song. I’ve always been a strong fan of Peter, Paul and Mary’s music. It might have been written for liberal purposes, but it was just as much fun to sing as a conservative, too. And I CERTAINLY prefer their music to the rap that’s the current style.
I separate an artist’s work from the artist. We’d lose a lot of great art, as well as music, if we judged a work by the character of the creators.
That song is a meme, and because of what you said, it was able to slip itself into the consciousness of everyone in the country, so you wind up with yourself a communist anthem on the billboard charts for 10 weeks, and soon enough they’re teaching all the children it. It’s just a song, but it bugs me, looking back, considering where we are now.
