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!

Your right, about him being on the left. i was just commenting
on his age. i liked the folk stuff back then. now, about the
only folk i still listen to is Peter Paul and Mary. different
times, and different ideas. and, with the life style he led, i
wonder how many of us will reach 90?

Seems as though the folks at the BBC were/are enthralled with him. I heard
several program bits on our local area's NPR overnight relay. WVGR 104.1,
typically runs BBC 10 PM to 5 AM ET daily.

I remember listening to some of his songs on the radio.Back in the
1970s, I think it was.I didn't know he is a leftist commie.

When I get on the road, I am ahead of everybody who is behind me.
When I used to drive a bread truck route for Sunbeam bakery, (Don't say
bread, say Sunbeam!) sometimes on Highway 49 South, South of Jackson, I
used to see an elderly couple in their 1960s Chevrolet pickup truck.On
the front bumper was a home made sign that said GIDDY UP GO, on the rear
bumper was another home made sign that said WE JUST WENT.

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.
