Pete Seeger died last Monday, January 27, 2014 - a giant figure in American history and culture over the last 70 years, yet a modest, unpretentious, and extremely likable person.  A great, quick sketch of Seeger was reviewed here previously - one particularly memorable chapter in the book describes Seeger's honest, brave, and wholly admirable refusal to answer HUAC's questions about his beliefs or loyalty to the United States - a black chapter in our history, thrown into relief by Seeger's humanity and courage.   Seeger was one of my heroes (along with Nelson Mandela and Abe Lincoln) and, although he lived a full, rich, and happy life, it's still sad to experience his passing.
