As legend goes. Im sure he did what he thought was right at the time and Im sure hes a nice guy but I dont feel his music ever progressed beyond the form he had it in in the 50's 60's, essentially nursery rhymes. As a man he stands for social justice, but as a songwriter and singer I think he was lucky It wouldve been good if Bob Dylan turned up, but wasnt Seeger incensed about Bobs electric performance at Newport in the 60s and gonna cut the cables?

Weston Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:10:51 +0000 http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/?p=50#comment-4390 The fact that Pete and The Weavers were black listed in the 1950's by the US government proves that he is a powerful force in the entire world and had those fools scared to death. His music and his personal exanple will live for hundreds of years and perhaps help us to last that long. He has no peer! His greatest contribution is that he made us all feel much better about being a member of the human race. He actually created all the great folk artists who arose later. He does deserve the Nobel Peace Prize 40 years ago. What is the hold-up? An ignurt hillbilly. Sam'l A.
