"Anyways, if it's good enough for Pete Seeger ...."

I was kind of surprised that Pete Seeger was associated with that song. It's uncharacteristic of him. Like Utah Phillips, Seeger's generally too savvy to bother with that kind of puerile sneeriness. Middle-class children slagging off their parents for being square. Most people grow out of that.

The civil rights marches were, of course, entirely composed of hippies and anarchists. Not a single doctor or lawyer in there. Oh no.
