Go, PP&M. My childhood musical heroes keep on keeping on (see: Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, and so on).

Thanks to

RIGHT? RIGHT? I got all TEARY at work today reading this. GO, THEM.

[qe2]

YES. TEARY. OMG. I fucking GREW UP with PP&M. I had no idea how much it would mean to me to know where they stand - and to read how eloquently they express their stance - until I saw this.

...okay, I'm teary NOW.

(btw: love you.)

[brooklinegirl]

love you TOO. and at open mic today at school, one of the professors sang "This Land is Your Land" and it was GREAT. <3

(unrelatedly: the rassafrickin' FB/Twitter widgets that have suddenly colonized LJ are making me want to stab something. maybe Frank the Goat. he's been looking v. scary lately.)

My pleasure!

I bought my first guitar in 1965 and my first songbook, PP&M In the Wind. I think I was in grade school when they first burst on the scene and I've loved them ever since. You never, ever have to wonder about them; they are unfailingly on the side of justice and right.

Thanks for sharing, dearest. Think I will go sing for a while.

You are very much welcome. Sing and be happy, as you should be. <3
