The only good Communist is a dead Communist - and now Seeger is good.
That he had talent is quite beside the point - he made the wrong decision at every point in his life on the big issues, having joint the CPUSA in 1941, at the height of Stalin’s powers (and purges). Until Hitler invaded the USSR, he was against U.S. involvement in the war - thus aiding Hitler indirectly. He was a huge force for the Left and, unlike Joan Bayez, NEVER APOLOGIZED for being on the dark side and the consequences of having taken part in its activities.
I’m glad the SOB is dead - he can’t pollute any more minds now, and he’ll be answering for his actions.
He can still pollute the uninformed sheeple with his remaining songs.
