Pete Seeger died at 94. He, to me, was a super hero, a talented man who had values,
who worked to improve the world, the US, people, the Hudson River.
He made us sing. That is a huge gift to make music a tool
in improving life.
We grew up with people like this, educated, compassionate, talented people
with values and morals - politicians, movie stars, sports figures and activists
whom we wanted to emulate.
These people were not always perfect, yet they had something
that I don't feel so often today.
I am not sure I can articulate exactly what is lacking.

in music, theatre, movies, sports or leaders in government.

Poor kids, poor me, poor world.
Perhaps changes over the years have brought this about.
Most all character begins in the home
and the biggie there is that mom isn't there.

In the schools we lost God.
Those two are big.
Not enough guiding lights or stars for us and the kids.
One by one they seem to be dying.
