Damn!!! Turn on DUers.
The Power of Song. It's a repeat - well worth watching.

1. Of all the things to not-forgive Jesse Helms for...

...I didn't forgive Jesse Helms for attempting to retroactively yank Pete Seeger's Kennedy Center Honors.

7. Seeger is not 60s doo-wop

I just told hubby I'm thinking of buying the Seeger DVD.
I've always loved his life story - if more people knew what the government and FBI did to him perhaps we'd have avoided Bushco.

8. yeah I know - just noting that each PBS station is different - especially during 'festival'

Edited on Fri Mar-13-09 09:58 PM by rurallib

actually who knows what mine really has on? For 4 nights they have listed Paul Simon at 9PM and I have seen celtic music, a brain guy, a health food guy and Suze Orman. I think Paul Simon is just bait.
I don't know why they take off good shows for festival.

9. I get your point

but I'm really enjoying the repeat of the Seeger program.
I hope PBS returns to better program now that we're rid of Bush and those goons.

The breaks for fund-raising are annoying but we don't have all the disgusting corporate ads so I'll let them be. :D

10. I love that program!

Despite being knocked down so many times, Pete Seeger kept coming back, working in the fight for our freedoms.

He's a true American hero. Thanks, Pete! :yourock: :applause:

11. I'd like to see and hear an update on that Joe Hill classic

It's really needed again. Maybe another revival of folk songs is the way to go.
