Courage of his convictions

Pete Seeger has shown courage of his convictions like few people of any political stripe over a long lifetime. From his support for civil rights and labor rights, environmentalism, to his anti-war activism, he's been a consistent progressive voice for a long time.

With the right-wing house of cards starting to fall apart, but with the simultaneous renewed vigor of the neo-cons to attempt to control the press and information in general, it's a good time to take a listen to Pete once again. He's 89 years old now, but recently released a new album. (You know how lazy those hippies are.)

Hope you live to be 189 Pete.
