The composer states unien folk singer and activist music died January 27, 2014 in New
York. Songs and fights he supported him survive. ---- Pete Seeger influenced especially
Joan Baez and Bruce Springsteen. He was accompanied with his guitar or banjo to talk to
the popular heart of North America with songs full of poetry, hope and also confidence in
the corporate power and government. During the years of McCarthyism, it takes the popular
repertoire, labor and trade union in support of the trade unionists and workers faced es
repression. It interprets written in 1915 by Ralph Chaplin song entitled Solidarity For
Ever , the Woody Guthrie Union maid or Which Side Are You On? written by Florence Reece in
1931. ---- It is also committed to civil rights alongside Martin Luther King, against the
war in Vietnam, for ecology...
He described the United uniennne company which is often obscured by the media discourse
that describe a country or kingdom that competition between individuals, free trade
excesses of wealth, religious blindness and warlike impulses.
Instead, his songs, which he composed and sung on picket lines, rallies for solidarity,
alongside progressive activists for anti-military rallies ( Where have all the flowers
gone? ) against Apartheid ( Whe shall overcome ) against the war in Vietnam ( Bring 'em
home ), for social justice and freedom ( If I Had A Hammer ).
He writes with Lee Hays and Millard Lampelle rehabilitation written by Woody Guthrie
(singer protester states unien early twentieth century), song Talking Union , translated
into French under the name "Union Blues spoken."
Pete Seeger was clearly in the camp of justice and freedom. The struggle for justice and
against capitalism, racism, fascism continues.

Wich side are you on? (Whose side are you?)
Do not scab for the bosses,

Us poor folks have not got a chance
Unless we organizes.
