First I heard about Arlo and Pete bombing at Occupy Wall Street. Funny.
Saw the equally unbearable Tom Morello try to play the proletarian bard with an acoustic guitar at Occupy Los Angeles, and nobody much cared who he was, either.
Exactly, just another wealthy charlatan carrying around guilt for being a rich kid who doesn't get it that he and his followers would be the first to be discarded and murdered by the Marxists he so adored if they ever came to power!
I actually read the entire short “Useless Idiot” short article by Jonny Whiteside. Although the headlines of the article were jarring to me the article was entertaining, and clever in rehabilitating an obviously click bait headline back into a legit critical review of a musician.
Here are some of the ways Jonny Whiteside, the Substack internet journalist, outsmarted the casual headline reader and wrote a legitimate musical and performance critique of Pete Seeger, the professional musician.
Okay, Jonny’s not a fan of the way “the revolution” was actually put into practice when it was hijacked by the Stalin and Mao military dictatorships and the purges began…
Who was ?
But Jonny does not deny Pete Seeger the right to be a communist here in America. Jonny doesn’t claim he was a communist either.
Jonny writes: ” Was he really a Communist? Who cares? Personal political views are an inalienable right.” (In America)
Jonny also concedes that Pete Segeer’s denial of trying to unplug the sound of Dylan’s controversial Newport Folk Festival show probably is true and that action never occurred.
The criticism Jonny Whiteside levels is this:
“But Seeger's greatest shortcomings, by far, were as a musician and performer. He was a marginal talent, whose scant handful of original compositions tended to the forgettable and simplistic. Seeger's painfully manicured on-stage presentation was chronically cloying, cutesy and colorless.”
