and what a line up.


A fine old leftist! Former (perhaps) member of the Communist Party!


So, Ace, your saying you didn't like his folksy type music?


It's OK I suppose, but when I hear it, I'm always mindful that he's a
Commie/Leftist!


In 1942 Seeger formally joined the Communist Party. A staunch defender
of the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, he saw himself as one of the
Party's "artists in uniform" whose activism was rooted in the notion
that "songs are weapons."

There's not much the matter with the principles of Communism. However,
most of what developed in the USSR wasn't Communism, and wasn't what
Pete Seeger and all the other so-caller fellow-travellers were
supporting.
