"Unlike most of the 'folk celebrities' (with notable exceptions), rather than keep his head below the parapet, he was there for the anti-Vietnam campaign, the miners strike, the peace movement, the women's movement, anti-Aparthied campaign, anti fascist campaigns in Greece, Chile, Turkey.... you name it; right up to his death."

But not The Holocaust, Jim?

I find it amazing that in his autobiography, "Journeyman", he skips the war years. Never referring to one of the major events in the history of mankind.

I've heard it said that he was prolific as a song-writer in those years. Small consolation to those dying in Belsen and Dauchau.
