Pete Seeger died two days ago. He may not have been a traditional bowhunter (hard to pull off in Greenwich Village, though our bud Alex Bugnon does it in Harlem) … but he was as fine an example of a man with traditional American values as we could ever hope to find. In a final interview before he died he noted “How foolish it is for a man to seek money, power and glory in his life!” One of his favorite sayings, a powerful metaphor for not selling out, was: “When the King puts the Poet on his payroll, he cuts off the Poet’s tongue.”
Thanks Pete, and so long, it’s been good to know ya.
