Sounds good to me Don. Seeger would at times very successfully play the songs of both sides of an issue with the historical framework. When we primarily treat songs as art more people can come together to listen to them.
The way to react to a political song is by thinking about the melody and the lyrics the art of construction, rhymes the artistry of the creation of the piece as a song. Generally the ones that have survived have done so because of these qualities.
