Speaking of Pete Seegar, I saw a documentary piece on The Smothers Brothers & was surprised to find that they were what some called trouble makers, of sorts, in that they picked at the establishment of their time, as well as protesting the Vietnam War. One of the guests that they had on their show at one time was Mr. Seegar, performing a song called Big Muddy, and it had one line edited because the censors at the time thought it was being rude & disrespectful towards then President Johnson. Oh well. What did I know back then? I was only 7 or 8 at the time & I thought they were fabulous musicians & comedians(Smothers Brothers). Mr. Seegar was damn good then too.
