90

Pete Seeger turned 90 yesterday. I posted a slew of YouTube favorites on my tumblr last night in tribute to him. I capped them all off with this one. I hope you had a great party, Pete. Sure looks like you did. (More photos.)

Folks I've got them hungry blues
And nothin' in this to lose
People tellin' me to choose
Between dyin' and lyin' and
keep on cryin'
Tired of them hungry blues
Listen ain't you heard the news
There's another thing to choose
A brand new world
clean and fine
Where nobody's hungry
And there's no color line
A thing like that's worth
anybody dyin'
I ain't got a thing to lose
But them doggone hungry blues
