At some point in the last 20 years, the left moved to the center, and the right moved into a mental institution
Pity. Met Pete and Harry Chapin at the Castle Clinton Rededication at Battery Park, NYC. Great guys. Very smart and very decent.
Sad to see that they're both gone now. If it wasn't for his efforts, the Hudson Valley would look like Bayonne NJ (sorry Warren and George). Industry kept trying to screw things up for years here and people like Pete among others did what had to be done to keep it, well, habitable. Just finished reading a book on the history of this, Pete was in it.
RIP Pete. You're going to be missed.

You know why we call Bee Onne the armpit of New Jersey.
Where have all the activists gone? Gone to flowers every one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn? 73 Pete, nice knowin' ya.

Seeger was instrumental in what Martin Mull referred to as "The Great Folk Scare" of the '50s and '60s.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I suppose so, singing activists do scare folk. Seeger, Dylan, two Guthries, et al scared some enough to stir them from their propaganda induced stupor and take up the cause.

Love it. :rofl:...Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up,
And Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
Pictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he
Sat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the
Twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows
And a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.
And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles
And arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry,
'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American
Blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the
Judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
Pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each
One explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us.

Ah, but you forgot it was a typical case of blind justice and so did Officer Opie Taylor who when he moved north followed his father Andy into law enforcement. Unfortunately he more closely followed his childhood idol Deputy Barney Fife who followed HIS childhood idol, another Barney.
