Pete reminds us that Rock and Roll sprang from roots deep in traditional folksong. How fitting for wonderful Belaphonte and Woody's son, Arlo be the ones to induct him. He was my true inspiration since toddlerhood and I never strayed from exploring traditional folk song all my eight decades. Any honor he receives is so well deserved.

I have a very personal reminiscence of Pete Seeger. Many years ago in Fort Worth , in Texas at the what had once been the Texas Hotel( the hotel where President J.F.Kennedy had stayed the night prior to that devastating event in history) in the elevator cove, I pushed the button calling the elevator to deliver me to my my floor… and waited . A moment or two following Mr. Seeger and his wife arrived .The hair at the back of my neck stood at attention . MR PETE SEEGER . Wow. I apologised for entering his universe and simply thanked him fir what he personally through his songs and just being, brought to me . He smiled and I reminded him of the concert,in Montreal, that he had given 3o years previously ,with one Arlo Guthrie He smiled but this time he corrected me. The concert was. 20 years previously, Without skipping a beat, I replied , I may have forgotten the date, but I didn’t forget the concert . Again , he smiled and looking me straight in the eye said , bless your heart . It was MAGIC! The encounter, the timing, the conversation . Pete Seeger, I couldn’t believe it ( ps Mrs Seeger was beyond pleasant. What a lovely human being).

I've met Pete Seeger and went to a few of his yearly strawberry festivals on the Hudson River in Beacon NY and he at 86 could jump on and off a pickup truck to put a 36 year old (me) to shame. I remember he did a concert at out school and I stood a few feet from his banjo whose words around its circular hide front said " This instrument surrounds hatred and forces it to surrender" .. I was never more moved before in the presence of something magical and powerful. I even sent him a few of my songs on a cassette and he hand wrote back to me a beautiful 50 word response signed keep on singing and playing Pete and he even drew a little picture of a banjo next to his signature.. He told me they were good songs but to sing them on the streets and in the jails because he was to old to learn new songs... Cherishing this memento of Pete's. Hey read the book he wrote called the "Compleat Folk Singer" with an intro about an English man with my same last name that a ways before Pete wrote his book this Child fellow (hope I'm related) wrote about English folk music and inspired Pete to write one for America. Pete's book is awesome and full of so many songs and there roots to our land and culture.

There is no one like Pete. His music, his dedication to justice and equality, and his special gift of getting everyone to sing along were truly incredible. To me he is a giant and always will be. I only wish that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize. He deserved it! By the way, I cry every time I hear Pete and the Weavers sing, "Good Night Irene."

Seeger's songbook gave dozens of artists their Rock n' Roll cover hits, from his adaptations like Wemoweh > "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," to "Turn, Turn, Turn," "We Shall Overcome," and so many have retained a classic resonance in oldies popularity, perhaps because the Seeger sincerity and power inbued even pop cover stylings with something deeper.

My grandfather was a communist in the twenties and thirties when it was not the political cross to bear that it became. He died in 1934 at the age of 38. He became a communist, as I was told, because he could not find any other outlet for his pursuit of justice and peace. My Mother, who was just 16 when he died, thought him a most amazing man. The American Communists who joined the party in that time, before the great crimes of Stalin, Mao, and so many others were known are in my view guilty only of exceedingly poor judgement. True, perhaps they suspected that such a system that eviscerated the concept of the individual and made him a servant of the state rather than the other way around, as in our own violent revolution, could only survive by brutality and total control over persons. I'm confident that my grandfather never really tussled with such ideas. His was a search for justice in a brutal world. His motives were pure. And he would rather die by his own hand than be a part of such a system. But those who remained communists, through the 40's and beyond had accounts to settle before God and Man. Pete Seeger was an American institution. His songs are as American as those of Irving Berlin. His efforts to smash racism and legal injustice give him (as we Jews here in Israel are often heard to say) Mitzvah Points if and/or when he stands before any judgment. Pete Seeger I would like to think, long ago came to understanding of the non-corresponding concepts of what it means to be free and what it means to be a communist.

Wow, I think commenters here may have missed it, so let me repeat what Harry Bellafonte said in closing at about 7:15: he witnessed a conversation between two 'guiding lights' of his life, Paul Robeson and Pete Seeger, where they concluded: "Get them to sing your song. And they will want to know who you are. And then we have the first step to ending hate." It is hard to overstate the importance of these three men to American culture and life, of their century.

Pete Seeger was not known for rock and roll. He did not like the electric guitar or electric banjo. He was a folk artist. He was extremely disappointed when Bob Dylan moved from Focus hot to electric guitar and added rock and roll elements into his music. I would suspect that Pete Seeger was more inducted for his politics than his music. That is not to say that Pete Seeger did not make a fantastic contribution to the field of Folk Music
@SandfordSmythe3 жыл бұрын
Some irony on Pete. He was criticized by Party leaders [ yes, he was a member of the CP] for singing folky songs to the proletariats that they would never listen to. The Party recommended pop music with the appropriate lefty lyrics. Guess who won a Noble prize and had his protest songs song by a whole generation.

jimmy page direct influence... as in, working in the era directly before rock and roll, typically defined as 1955 and had a direct influence.
