Yeah, once heard Seeger say that Woodie Guthrie was a communist. Makes sense when you listen to “This Land is Your Land” or whatever the title is to that one.
Seeger is the worst piece of trash ever. He was and is a major Joe Stalin apologist. Pat Buchanan and others laid it out in a lot of detail. For example, Seeger wrote a song praising Stalin and Hitler when they sign their non aggression pact. He wrote it shortly before Hitler invaded Russia and then re-wrote it.
A large part of folk music is commie music for union types. This land is your land - might as well be Obama’s ode. It is all about collectivism.
Peter, Paul and Mary had 1 pedophile and one pervert plus Mary.
For all Woddy’s faults - he was less of a commie than Seeger. When Stalin was starving 6 million Ukrainians - Seeger was writing odes to Stalin and Walter Duranty was getting Pulitzer prizes for his work at The NY Times for fawning over Stalin. Duraty, Seeger and the NY Slimes knew what was really going on.
maybe Arlo is a conservative and is backlash against his dad’s commie pals.
They were big in the union movementI believe.
