@terrible99 it really sucks that durning the McCarthy era he and fellow members of his band (the weavers) were black-listed as communists

@CharlesMcGlade Amen to that. I can't think of anyone who deserves it more.

With all the respect i have for American folk music,Pete Seeger was musically narrow minded.I saw in a documentary about Bob Dylan that Pete tried to cut the plug-in cable when Dylan started playing folk songs in electric in a festival.Dylan introduced me to American folk music.

@Guydreamr, I like your sentiment, but I think you don't quite get it. If it were not for the white folksingers of th 1950's & 60's a lot of the most important folk, labor and anti-slavery songs would have been lost.

Only 48 persons are in Tea Party!! Suckers!!

@throbgristle 50 pesos is a pretty tiny amount of money. It's not a betrayal for musicians to expect to make at least a minimal living from their music. I don't think Pete would have a problem with that.
You probably don't realize how desperately poor Mexico has become, especially since "free trade", a system that forced them to give up all the remaining gains of the Mexican Revolution and left nothing in the place of those gains.

@SteveSbc406 It's been proven that the Tea Party was basically invented by the Koch Brothers. It was never a people's movement...and, in case you haven't noticed, it doesn't exist anymore.
Pete Seeger is a true American patriot! Not like those tea party wackos who they say are patriots but, are control by politicians, political commentators, and corporations.
