And perhaps, Dave, you might apologize not only to me, but also to the memory of Pete Seeger, for daring to suggest that he too 'engaged his mouth before putting his brain into gear' purely for doing all he could to get musicians to feel great pride in what they do.

I would do that, Lizzie, if you were saying the same thing, in the same way as Pete Seeger did, but you are not. Pete Seeger was a brilliant songwriter and knew how to put his ideas across without rancour and without the hyperbole that you constantly employ in your rants. You have had lots of answers to your question and chosen to ignore them. You are now putting yourself in the same league as Pete Seeger. Don't delude yourself. You are not a fraction the activist he was. I said nothing whatsoever to suggest that he spoke without thought other than in your own mind.

Now, you promised once that you would not speak to me. Please keep that promise.
