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.
Arlo is a registered Republican.
According to Seeger, Guthrie never joined the communist party because he believed in God and the communists didn’t. That didn’t stop him from praising Stalin though.
Peter Yarrow was the one in a sex scandal. Paul Stookey as far as I have heard has lead a clean life and is a Christian. I remember a GUIDEPOST article done on him and the story behind "The Wedding Song" the one most people know as "There is love" which was his solo claim to fame. He didn't take a cent of the money for himself for the song. Mary passed away in the past couple of years from Leukemia. I didn't care for their politics but I loved their music. Same thing with lots of artist.
