All the rest of those old commies are moldering in their graves, but Pete keeps singing. :>) Sidebar: Pete Seeger: The Power of Song Bruce Springsteen calls him a "citizen artist." Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines says he's "a living testament to the First Amendment." Pete Seeger more than lives up to the billing, but as this loving and inspiring American Masters profile demonstrates, he'd probably just as soon move beyond the testimonials to lead us all in a rousing group song. For Seeger, his voice means nothing if it isn't joined with others. "Participation. That's what's going to save the human race," he says, his enthusiasm and optimism undimmed by time (he's 88). The Power of Song stirringly charts Seeger's fame as he popularized folk music, as well as his notoriety when he was blacklisted during the '50s Communist witch hunt and banned from TV for years. His life and his songs provide a soundtrack of the American spirit. Pete Seeger: The Power of Song airs Wednesday, Feb. 27, on PBS; check local listings.
