Oh that's terrible. Well, tonight becomes serious for me. You don't know what you got till it's gone.

A great leader is dead.

Rest in struggle. He would not want to rest in peace.

I grew up on Pete Seeger. Still have some of his old union albums. Saw his grandson Tau Rodriguez Seeger in Berkeley.

Solidarity forever, Pete, we always know which side you're on.

Couldn't agree more, have to get out my banjo today and play this land is your land. He was a brave, honest, uncompromising American legend. Strange that last night I watched a documentary of his days in Greenwich Village on netflix...a great documentary. Then to wake up this morn and realize he's gone. I saw him perform John Henry with an ax chopping a log for his instrument once ...great great man. RIP Pete!
