    R.I.P. Pete Seeger. We're Still Waist Deep in the Big Muddy

    God bless Pete Seeger, who died today at age 94.

    This song, Waist Deep in the Big Muddy, from the Vietnam War era, still rings true today. Seeger wrote it in 1967 and it caused a fuss because it really wasn't about some military exercise in Louisiana that went awry.

    I suspect the song will have a long period of relevance; there will always be big fools around.

     

    And here is the Kingston Trio's beautiful version of Where Have All the Flowers Gone? It was written by Seeger and Joe Hickerson.
