Happy 90th Birthday


The folk singer and political activist, Pete Seeger, is 90 today. Never one to hold back, his proud left-wing political views and songs helped shape several generations' views- for and against. His greatest love, however, was probably the Clearwater project that has worked to clean-up the Hudson River. And he's been married to Toshi for sixty of his 90 years. Wow!

I once heard Arlo Guthrie be asked about Pete and his dad, Woody. Arlo commented that his dad was a singer for his time. Pete is a singer for all times.

Happy Birthday, Pete.
