How many idiots

[Queersetti]

are calling radio stations tonight asking to hear Turn The Page or Ramblin' Gamblin' Man in memory of Pete Seeger?

He had a hammer.

 

[Queersetti]

He overcame.

I am waiting for someone to put out a really crappy tribute album, so I can say "Pete Seeger would turn, turn, turn over in his grave if he heard that."

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

The people that liked his early stuff can't hear.

 

[torchthebitch]

He overcame.

But did he improvise and adapt first?

Pretty harsh, dude. I can count on one hand the number Vermeer paintings I can name, or the number of Puccini operas I've heard, or the number of Babe Ruth home runs I've witnessed, but I still think the world is a lesser place without them.

No, he would not be moved.

Good post, right up until you lost the Boston fans.

meh, i made that post when i was hungry.

(though this doesn't take anything away from the validity of your statement )

I suppose that until his name came up on NPR yesterday along with the hundreds of accolades to his "vision for a changed world", I hadn't heard of or thought of Pete Seeger since high school music appreciation class where his name might have been mentioned as 'harbinger of social change through music'.

Bob Dylan wrote all Seeger's songs.

Fifty years ago Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash were Alpha & Omega; if Dylan wrote your songs you knew you were on your way, if Cash sung your songs you knew the end was near.

Ole Pete began to be written off the day after he dissed Dylan for plugging in at the Newport Folk Festival. Seeger stayed in a rut and Dylan left him in the dust.
