Pete Seeger
What a powerful, principled man! What an amazing life! We just finished watching Pete Seeger: The Power of Song, and even if I'm no longer the knee-jerk liberal I was in my 20's, it made me hugely proud of my American citizenship. If you haven't seen it, get it. And when you do, watch the bonus materials, especially the films he and his wife made back in the 50's and 60's.
One thing I particularly loved learning is that on his trademark banjo, he printed the words, "This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender."
