  • Pete Seeger is a national treasure. Those you trash Pete are the same people who would like to see the destruction of labor unions, and a return to working conditions of the 19th century. Pete's detractors are the same people who support US wars of agressions to enhance US corporations like Haliburton and Bechtel, and the oil companies. Those who dislike Pete are the type of peope who get a perverse joy out of poverty, unemployment, homelessness, union busting and militarism. Sing on Pete.

  • A very happy birthday to a sweet soul who has inspired me to be a better person.

  • That sorta broght tears to my eyes. Now, I need to go mend my ego by watching some dimestore McRapper talk crap about how bad he is, and feel that I am the one who he is rapping about to make myself feel like a "True G".
