RIP Pete. But lets not forget he was an Stalinist. One of the biggest mass murderers the world has ever known.

And most honest human dedicated to social juctice with every cell of his body for a lifetime of advocating for those less fortunate. May your music play on Pete!

Turn, turn, turn, Where have all the flowers gone, it was a lot of fun. Nice man. The music was always in his head and heart. R.I.P. Pete.

He got an impressive tribute in our newspaper today.
He was dedicated to music and the human kind in general...

We used to sing along a lot of his songs. They really had a message.

Good musician with bad politics. I guess this might be true of most musicians depending on your point of view.
