Lorne_M said: I have a great respect for people like Pete Seeger (Joan Biaz) and many other folk artists as far as their musical talents go, but it was Seeger's political musically-woven views that kept him blacklisted from televison for 17 years.

Au contraire! It wasn't his political music-woven views that kept him blacklisted. It was the blacklisters' desires to throttle what they didn't themselves believe in. If an audience doesn't find a politically-oriented singer entertaining, no blacklist is necessary. But it's when an entertainer makes his political content really appealing, that's when the closed-minded blacklisters get scared and do their thing.
