How is this not "If I had a shovel." ...seriously, though, RIP. Here's a passage I really liked from a 2006 *New Yorker* piece:
"Before Seeger's confrontation with HUAC, people sometimes regarded his optimism as childish, and unrealistic, as a habit of mind inconsistent with the moral rigor of a serious person. Afterward, he became a figure of undeniable stature. He had stared down jail time. He had stood amid peril for his beliefs. He had typified the principles of all the brave people he had sung about." ______________________________ f <http://facebook.com/damonbeau> :: t <http://twitter.com/beau1u> :: li<http://www.linkedin.com/pub/beau-boughamer/3/290/312> :: 202/765-9143 On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 8:13 AM, Steven Otte <[email protected]> wrote: > Croakin' Union > > > > -- > Steven Otte > [email protected] > -----Original Message----- From: danny burstein > Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 3:55 AM > To: wnn > Subject: where have all the flowers gone? to the cemetery.. > > > Pete Seeger, age 94. > > That's all, folk. > > (I like Deb's comment on FB: "he outlasted the bastards") > > _____________________________________________________ > Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key > [email protected] > [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded] > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "World News Now Discussion List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/wnndl. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "World News Now Discussion List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/wnndl. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
