Thank you for all the great music, Pete! Rest in peace.

Really sad news. He was a great songwriter and musician. May he R.I.P.

and was a subject of the hateful McCarthy witchhunts.

I don't think the guy was the subject of any McCarthy anything, affiliated with people on watch lists, at best (or worst).


("hateful witchhunts", c'mon, leave the political slant out of a R.I.P. thread, plz).

Just heard this great song writer and musician, you will be missed

 

[LG]

I thought he'd already left us, so many younger folk have passed on recently.

Mr. Seeger you left a massive footprint in your time and tried to make a difference.

 

[LOU/REALM]

R.I.P Pete Seeger. Another loss...

 

[Magic]

Rest in Peace!


In remembrance of a song I remember singing in school as a child

This Land is Your Land

Pete. We'll miss you.

R.I.P. He was great.
