Did you know the great final two verses of Pete Seeger’s classic “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” antiwar song — the ones in which the soldiers went to graveyards, and the graveyards to flowers — were added by singer, songwriter, and folk music archivist Joe Hickerson, who died Aug. 17 at age 89?
Yes, but only because my parents were connected to the Progressive Party through Pete Seeger who lived near us. Does The Library of Congress even still exist? Or is it next on their chopping block?
