On Sunday night Pete Seeger’s 90th birthday was celebrated with a concert at Madison Square Garden.

It was great. Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Ben Harper, Richie Havens, Joan Baez, Billy Bragg, Rufus Wainwright, Arlo Guthrie, and a dozen or two other headliners performed.[…]

Springsteen said that he never saw Seeger more happy than at Obama’s inauguration, noting that Seeger saw Obama’s ascendancy as proof that he, Seeger, had “outlived the bastards.”

vruz: well it’s true that Seeger outlived reagan, nixon and (technically) rumsfeld and kissinger.   well done!  now, there’s  rove’s offspring, the palins, jindals and cantors for decades to come.

the bad boys never rest. comfort and self-indulgence are the worst enemy of democracy.
