Pete Seeger
In 1963 Pete Seeger came to give a concert in Rome, Italy and most of us at Notre Dame International School, Rome attended the concert. We were profoundly moved and instilled with the fighting spirit of Pete's songs(such as:“Guantanamera,” “Where Have All The Flowers Gone,” “If I Had A Hammer,” “Turn Turn Turn,” “Wimoweh,” “We Shall Overcome”) and have been rebellious ever since, starting with our protest marches in Troy,N.Y. and in Philadelphia, Pa., throughout the Age of Aquarius, the Flower Revolution, Hippies,and so forth ...to today. This is Pete Seeger singing at Lincoln Memorial at age 89 for President elect Obama's Inauguration Celebration to complete a full cycle. He is joined with Bruce Springstein, another of our favorite revolutionary musicians.
