Reply #11: I met Peter Yarrow once....

[tpsbmam]

I've met & spent time with lots of celebs -- celebrity doesn't impress me in the least. As a matter of fact, I've been around some who were total assholes (Danny Kaye & a couple of sitting US legislators among others). When I met Peter, I have to admit to initially being a little tongue-tied and I do believe there was a tad of tear welling going on. :P He was pretty much everything I imagined him to be when I was growing up listening to their music and joining in on Vietnam protests during my early teen years (I had cool parents, at least when it came to civil rights & Vietnam): Peter was warm & wonderful. I guess NOM feels free to co-opt PP&M's & Woody Guthrie's civil rights music in the same way Glen Beck is trying to co-opt THE March on Washington. Both fail miserably.
