Subject: RE: Woody Guthrie on PBS
I saw the program. I was very grateful to have been able to see it.

I had been harboring a resentment of sorts towards Pete Seeger for many, many years. A good part because of "Plow Another One Under" (a very good antiwar song, which, after the breaking of the H/S pact, was put aside for yet another sort of "Political Correctness". But hearing Mr. Seeger show so much respect and love for one of MY heroes and for keeping THAT flame alive, I have changed my mind. I realize that we do what we think is right to do and sometimes we're off track and that is OK too.

Thank you, Pete.

I was disappointed by only one aspect of the documentary (other than it being too short) and that was Arlo's absence. It doesn't make sense to me and I wonder if there is some murkier aspect to the situation than meets the eye.
