Pete Seeger has died

[djf]

One of the great voices of folk rock...

[LeoWindhorse]

good riddance

that’s one of the good things about death , it eventually befalls all commies

[djf]

Heck, I thought he died in the late 60’s, early 70’s...

Is Nelson Mandela still dead?

Pete Seeger provided cheap entertainment for the Communist Party circuit.

pResident 0'ButtCrack et.al. weeps.

Good. The world is a better place with one less Commie.

[iowamark]

Not too many of the early Communists left.

[meadsjn]

But there are still far too many communists here and now.

Nazi supporter, Until Uncle Adolf turned on Uncle Joe.

There’s another thread, but he wasn’t a great anything in music.

He produced a pale manufactured fake imitation of folk music.

[Bullish]

Heck, Seeger’s always been dead as for as I was concerned.

[SoFloFreeper]

I listened to his Carnegie Hall concert over and over and over as a child.

[MrEdd]

Famous yes.
Great voice? Well to be honest you could say his voice wasn’t awful on the same scale that Dylan’s is awful.

Good riddance.

I posted on the other thread, but I’ll post here too. I always thought Seeger was a great singer, nobody else like him. Too bad he was a stinking commie to the end. RIP.

"One of the great voices of folk rock..."

I hope that is meant as sarcasm! You do know Seeger's history at the Monterrey Folk Festival in 1968?

That's when Bob Dylan had the nerve to break down Monterrey's barrier against electrified music. When Dylan's electrified folk band was performing Seeger was ranting about "cutting the cables." Seeger's party line Stalinist instinct for crushing those who disagree extended beyond politics to music and culture in general.

Fools for Stalin

The dark side of Pete Seeger

[Vermont Lt]

Never really like his music. I always thought he looked like he smelled.

[PhineasSpear]

Further proof that the evil never die young.

[Revolting cat!]

Newport not Monterrey. Check your sources.

[Revolting cat!]

Imagine if he had been a follower or say Mussolini, or Alister Crowley all his life as he had been a follower of murderous Communism (100-200 million dead, and counting.) Would he still be “One of the great voices of folk rock”?
