#Pete Seeger

The Weavers—from left to right, Ronnie Gilbert, Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, and Fred Hellerman—gave a concert on December 26, 1952, that was broadcast on WNYC. The clip above is the final number. Their message of peace and unity did not please HUAC, and they were blacklisted for the rest of the decade.

There are three genres of folk music:

Colonialism but we're sad about it

I have lost my one true love and now I'm going to play a sad banjo song

Workers of the world Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains! You can and should beat the shit out of capitalists and their thugs.
