I don’t remember when I discovered him, but I almost immediately fell in love with him. Not only are his lyrics brilliant, his voice is so beautiful. What a loss to the world when he took his own life. Imagine the sort of songs he would be writing today. I doubt he would have ever sold out like Dylan.

Pete Seeger is great too. Where’s this generation’s protest singers?
Have you seen the rent in Harvard Square or the Village lately?
All I could find, was this.
