I know nothing of Burl Ives' politics and really don't care. My kids, especially my son who is the youngest, was raised on his album, The Wayfaring Stranger, and they and I still love it. I had the pleasure of hearing him in a live concert only one time, but it was in an 800 seat house and it was packed.
