  (Pete's banjo has a slogan written on it that says
  "This machine kills fascists")

  Band on the Run

  I loved Pete Seeger. Saw Arlo and he in concert several times separately Arlo was better. So funny.

  I don't agree with the specifics of Pete Seegers stand but I do see him in a valuable American tradition. I lived in NY so I was at every major antiwar demo between NY and DC. It wouldn't be a proper demo or rally without him.

  I am so upset that I can't find Alice's Restaurant on radio at Thanksgiving. It does hold up. I just have the vinyl album. When it was released, I wore down the grooves. You can get anything you want, excluding Alice, at Alice's Restaurant. Oh, the motorcycle song in concert.

  Great memories that I should resurrect to the present.

  I remember singing where have all the flowers gone protesting the vietnam war in the late sixties.Memories wow

  there's a video of pete seeger singing the draft dodger rag at the memorial for Phil Ochs who I just loved. When I was 18 I went to a Phil Ochs concert and I was really inspired he sang his song I ain't marching anymore. He's long dead now but wrote many great songs

  Band on the Run

  I am currently reading Dylan's Chronicles. Yes, I am late. I am about ten years younger than Bob but I remember family trips to the Village. Many of the clubs, coffee houses he describes I recall from my teenage wanderings. The folk scene was so vibrant. It seems almost dead. I could not name a contemporary folk singer, other than Jakob Dylan (and he is no longer young, for certain). I loved it so much. The Beatles stole my heart and soul. Beatles, then Dylan in my pantheon.

  Dylan doing commercials for Cadillacs is so funny. It would have caused massive ptsd in the sixties. I saw him several times. He was best at the two Bangladesh concerts. Bob took the stage away from the all the superstars and demi-gods, like George and Eric. I just read that he hung out with Tiny Tim!

  I am hoping there is a market outside of the Smithsonian and very small venues for this music. Greenwich Village was the location of my law school. Unless a club has opened recently, I don't know of a single flourishing coffeehouse in the old vein. The Village Vanguard and Blue Note still exist for jazz. So this thread gives me the opportunity to ask others if there is a scene into which I can tap myself.
