Dear Mr. Radosh,
Thanks for your great column on Pete Seeger today.
I was a child of the 60's so of course I idolized Pete Seeger because he stood up to racism and McCarthyism. Thanks for presenting the historical data documenting Mr. Seeger's policy shifts. Can you imagine he actually went to the length of asking people to return record albums that expressed the now wrong political position? Incredible. Too bad this history is not widely known.
