Let’s see who is who on this list:
Hendrix - extremely talented and died from a drug overdose. STUPID
Janis Joplis - very talents and died from a drug overdose.
Crosby, Stills Nash & Young. Talents. My wife liked Southern Cross; I liked “Woodstock”. Some really good songs, some sucked. Voices often sounded like someone stepped on a flow of chickens.
The Beatles - one of the most talented rock groups around. Nothing against the talented writer John Lennon except that he married that leftist fool, Yoko Ono.
Elvis - THE KING. What else can you say? “Jail House Rock”, my first 45. “All Shook Up”, “Burnin’ Love”, “US Male”, “In the Ghetto”, his Christmas album, etc. Also a GI in the 50’s.
Van Morrison - very talented.
Jim Morrison - also talented but died of a drug overdose.
Jane Fonda: - Beautiful airhead, used up sexual toy, self-proclaimed communist. Hypocritical capitalist.
Pete Seeger - Very talented but died a hardcore Communist (see www.keywiki.org for some information on his lifelong association with various communist parties, fronts and causes).
The Chicago Seven - Contained hardcore reds (Seale, Dellinger, Davis, Froines, Hayden, and hardcore clowns (Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin).
John McCain - Vietnam veteran/pilot, and POW, US Senator. Brave man but a lousy politician.
Out of all of these ideological people, I have met Fonda, Seeger, Rennie Davis/Dave Dellinger (C -7); and Adm. John McCain (CINCOMPAC). One hero and the rest, traitors.
The ideological people were NOT members of the “Greatest Generation”. They were traitors, even though Seeger served in WW II, as did the grandfather Adm. McCain and his son. Grandson was in Vietnam.
There is a different between these groups. What hurt the musicians was massive drug-use, which explains why some of the best aren’t around anymore.
Don’t confuse almost all of those you just listed who are members of Audie Murphy’s generation, the Silent generation, with Pete Singer, who is a part of the GI generation, or the “greatest generation” if it means the “GI generation” as some try to define it.
Pete Seeger was in the Army in WWII.
