The Democrat snooze media already is falling all over itself to canonize the old Stalinist folk singer who died Monday at 94.
So it’s refreshing to find at least one fellow refusing to minimize or ignore Seeger’s lifelong Communist warts. And in the WaPo, of all places. Well, sort of in the WaPo. Not on the front page, you can be sure.
Can’t say I ever cared much for Seeger’s songs or his voice. And I don’t think he really accomplished all the progressive stuff he’s credited with. He was a generation behind me. But, then, so was Artie Shaw and I still dig him.
UPDATE: Lest I leave out Seeger’s support of Hitler, as well.
