I saw the documentary "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song" tonight at The Naro. It's a powerful film. Even if you're not particularly a fan of Seeger's music, you've got to admire the strength of his convictions. For me, one of the inspirational aspects of Seeger's life is his determination to connect humans through the simple act of singing. It seem like an innocent concept, but Seeger pursues it with such vigor that it almost seems radical.
For those interested in the debate about whether or not music can be made without being polluted by commerce, this is a great movie to see. It's worth noting that Seeger quit his group the Weavers rather than going along with a cigarette advertisement.
Go, man, go.
