Pete Seeger, 92, sang at Occupy Wall Street
This may be old news to many here, but I just saw it;
http://therealnews.com/t2/component/seyret/?task=videodirectlink&id=11185

This vid clip gave me chills.
I raced motocross, broke bones - picked the bike up and kept riding. No tears.
I used to work construction many years, and I've seen some pretty hairy shit. No tears.

But this movement, graced by this human being, made me cry like a girl scout who just had her cookies robbed.

1. I know his grandson was with him but I also heard the Arlo Guthrie
and Tom Paxton were there also - the pictures are very dark - I assume that the guy in the hat is Arlo and the guitar player it Tom?

3. He can still carry a tune at 92, and that's impressive
but nothing is as impressive as his incredibly long history of being on the right side of every issue.

It's nice he got to be part of one more crowd, one more time.
