is 85 today. The following is from The Kennedy Center Honors page for Pete.
Pete Seeger is arguably the most influential folk artist in the United States. He was instrumental in popularizing the indigenous songs of this country, and his own songs, among them “If I Had a Hammer,” “We Shall Overcome,” “Turn, Turn, Turn,” and “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” have served as anthems for an entire generation of Americans.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
“Give me that old time religion” is one of my favorites.
Let us pray to Aphrodite
Let us pray to Aphrodite
She wears a see-through nightie
and that’s good enough for me
Happy birthday Pete. Many more.
