"Legendary folk singer, banjo player, storyteller, and political and
environmental activist Pete Seeger turned ninety on Sunday. More than
18,000 people packed New Yorks Madison Square Garden Sunday celebrate
the man, the music and the movement.

Watch Democracy Now's hour-long special on Pete Seeger's 90th birthday."

1. Wonderful. Thanks for posting!

2. is that not amazingly cool!?

90 yrs old. Wow... time flies. And yeah, he outlasted those asshats he was talking about decades ago. Love me some Springsteen.

3. He outlasted and outclassed all of them.

:hi:

[Divine Discontent]

4. amen!

:hi: and hope things are well in your part of this "state" of insanity we call Flori-duh. HA

I keep hoping for a total awakening of our Democratic strength here in FL this next cycle. The goons and faux-Dems must be kicked out at a much higher rate. This state continues to decay. I hope we take another few out of seats in '10.

The CSX thing is gone for at least a while, right? I heard that Bud Hedinger radio goof screaming for it the other day and rolled my eyes and not ONE of his listeners, in the 5 min. I listened, agreed with him and told him that's not the tea party kind of Republican talking. And I cracked up. They're eating their own. Thankfully... Hope they're really hungry.

I've also missed the latest on the oil (edit to add 'drilling') near the coast, please tell me that's being pushed back, too. I've been outta the loop for a while.

Now to save this state's health care for the disabled and poor, with a gov't health care fix!

Best to you...

5. Offshore drilling pushed back, CSX gone for a while, health care...

haven't heard about that yet.

Our legislature simply does not know what they are doing.

[Divine Discontent]

6. ok, thanks. yeah, we'd do a better job than this legislature. They're duly unfit for office after

the past 8 years, and especially the past 4. Can't wait to see who will get the Dem. nomination for the run for the senate seat.

7. I was there that night. Biggest roar of the crowd.

And BTW, the show was recorded for TV. . .we were notified by the posters around the place.
So y'all will probably see it on PBS or another channel, then on a DVD in the near future.

:thumbsup:

8. Was PBS doing the recording?

I notice Democracy Now also has longer video up.

About 9 minutes.

9. Can't say for sure re PBS, but right now DN has the entire May 4 broadcast

available on DVD - for $30.00, plus other options for downloading, mp3, etc.

For a once-in-a-lifetime event like this, though, it would be foolish not to have a documentary on it.

And as previously said, we the audience were notified by posters that the show was being recorded for TV. So that could mean anything.

10. Thanks....that would be worth ordering for sure. Not a bad price.
