The Power of Song

"I love my country very dearly, and I greatly resent the implication that some of the places that I have sung and some of the people that I have known, and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical, make me less of an American."

"I still call myself a communist, because communism is no more what Russia made of it than Christianity is what the churches make of it."

"We were waist deep in the Big Muddy and the big fool said to push on."

Two Pete Seeger quotes and a lyric for your consideration. Maybe you remember that moving and beautiful documentary about Pete we had on WXXI-TV back in March. You can see it again tomorrow night at the George Eastman House.
