5. Now the Smothers Brothers need to join.
Just a comment relating to the fact that the Smothers Brothers fought to get Pete Seeger on the air and helped him build a new generation of fans, myself being one.
Deep in the big muddy.

9. All these years later, and we're still neck-deep in the Big Muddy,
so we still need Pete Seeger to inspire us. And he's STILL here, still fighting the good fight at 92 years old. It seems like an absolute miracle.

8. Hella good people in the world.
There is video but I can't find it yet. The uploaders are probably speechless, too.
