  • Remembering Pete Seeger

    When I heard that Pete Seeger had died, I bought a copy of "Joe Hill" off his classic "If I Had A Hammer" LP. My best memory of Pete Seeger is the sunny afternoon at Sugarhouse Park in Salt Lake City many years ago. It was a protest and celebration of Joe Hill Day. Joe Hill was a well known folk singer around the turn of the 20th Century. He was a protester for worker's rights and was part of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) movement, often called "The Wobblies." He was framed for murder in Utah. Despite appeals and support from notable individuals and groups nationally, including the daughter of the President of the LDS church at the time, Joe Hill was executed by firing squad at the state prison which is now the site of Sugarhouse Park. I will never forget the joy and power of Seeger joining with local musicians like Rosalie Sorrels and Utah Phillips to lead all of us in singing songs that protested and songs that rejoiced in human rights like Joe Hill, We Shall Overcome, This Land is Our Land, and even some of Joe Hill's songs. God bless and keep Pete Seeger and his legacy.

    Money is never a reason nor excuse for using your fellow man for your own advantage. Everyday take pride in what you do, and do your work for the sake of doing a job well. Lend a hand in helping your brothers and sisters, this can be as simple as a few words, a song or a vote. It is time to stop being so apathetic about the injustices we witness everyday and pick up a hammer.

  • Pete Seeger is the greatest political protest songwriter ever.
