Even if you don't know his name, you've almost certainly heard Pete Seeger's music. Over the last 70 years, Seeger, who turned 90 early this month, has written songs so iconic -- "Turn Turn Turn," and "If I Had A Hammer" are two examples -- they seem like they've always been part of the American landscape. VOA's Carolyn Weaver has a profile of a man who's lived many lives, from protest singer to figure of suspicion in the McCarthy years, environmentalist and folk hero.
@TysterS - communism may be hell of a lot better than the american dystopia imposed upon the whole world NOW. you think slaves of the developing world enjoy making your consumer items for a starvation wage? or the hundreds of thousands of dead civilians from the last decade alone of america's war crimes?
ignorant redneck - your moron empire is crumbling around you and taking us all with it.

Seeger hasn't been a communist since the fifties, when Stalin was exposed as a genocidal dictator.

Hey Seeger... Screw you. You're a Communist but never had the guts to actually live under Communism... You'd rather impose it on the rest of us. Like all cowardly Leftists you're a hypocrit.
