Some want to take the easy way
Poisons, bombs! They think we need 'em.
Don't they know you can't kill all the unbelievers.
There's no shortcut to freedom.

Didn't believe in his politics but loved his music. Even if they were one and the same most times. RIP Pete. Thanks for the music

His legacy will go on forever. May He Rest In Peace.

His machine surrounded hate and forced it to surrender. Plus he was a leader in the environmental movement, co-founding the organization Hudson River Sloop Clearwater in 1966, which was instrumental (no pun intended, but delightfully serendipitous) in helping to reverse the poisoning of this river, and which to this day aids in the monitoring of pollution and the education of others as to its importance to us all.

Rest in peace, Pete . . . you've earned it. America has lost one of those rare heroes who had the courage to tell those in power where to stick it, and I despair for a nation founded by such heroes which now views them in such poor light, and attempts to dissuade others from sailing a similar course.

Well said Thomas. Pete was a heck of a man, giving in so many ways. Rest in Peace Pete, thank you for stiring our mind and our souls.
