I must echo Amos' sentiments almost exactly. I had no clue what was going on, but my parents talked about it while reading the paper- they were basically outraged by McCarthy and his boys. And they bought all the Weavers albums and played them regularly, which was my introduction to folk music. There was also a lot of "subversive" jazz played, like "Strange Fruit" and "Fine Brown Frame". Oh, and for me it wasn't peanut butter and baseball, it was Cheese-its and soapbox derby racers.
