Remember when songs meant something? Here is an interview with Pete Seeger, a man who saw the entire span of modern American folk music and who as much as anyone made sure they did.
Little organizations doing what is right right near where it needs doing is the message. We can't count on the government and we sure as hell can't trust the bankers. We spawned a generation of rich sociopaths who believe they can steal right in front of us and there is nothing we can do.
I dunno. I know what we learned from people like Pete: we have to tell the story and maybe we better write some new songs.
Whoever makes the best biopic of Pete Seeger can tell the story about what is best about this country: people who keep doing the right thing.
Change is necessary but it only works if we know what is right. Is that corny? I don't care. It's right.
