I'm not sure why it echoes through me as it does. In these years of life, I hear and sing it more with a sense of 'ownership' than I used to, hopeful in the potential of our shared citizenship that transcends political party lines as well as the blueness or redness of our respective states.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4589834129146471221.post-56262413584981281112009-01-21T16:24:00.000-06:002009-01-21T16:24:00.000-06:00I am impressed that he "ran" off the stage.

One of the other parts of his activism was in sewing seeds in the Civil Rights community...song seeds. <BR/><BR/>Pete is one of the major influences behind the song "We Shall Overcome." If not for him, many in the movement concede, it might have never become the Civil Rights anthem that it did.<BR/><BR/>So, it's not just the anti-war songs, but also the poverty and Civil Rights songs that he sang for so long....would love to know what's happening inside his brain tonight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
