Peter "Pete" Seeger (May 3, 1919 – January 27, 2014) was an American folk singer and activist. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of the Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of the Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, counterculture and environmental causes.
A prolific songwriter, his best-known songs include "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" (with Joe Hickerson), "If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)" (with Lee Hays of the Weavers), and "Turn! Turn! Turn!" (lyrics adapted from Ecclesiastes), which have been recorded by many artists both in and outside the folk revival movement and are sung throughout the world. "Flowers" was a hit recording for the Kingston Trio (1962); Marlene Dietrich, who recorded it in English, German and French (1962); and Johnny Rivers (1965). "If I Had a Hammer" was a hit for Peter, Paul & Mary (1962) and Trini Lopez (1963), while the Byrds had a number one hit with "Turn! Turn! Turn!" in 1965.
The 1960s was a decade that began on January 1, 1960 and ended on December 31, 1969. The term "1960s" also refers to an era more often called the Sixties, denoting the complex of inter-related cultural and political trends around the globe. This "cultural decade" is more loosely defined than the actual decade, beginning around 1963 and ending around 1974.
"The Sixties", as they are known in both scholarship and popular culture, is a term used by historians, journalists, and other objective academics; in some cases nostalgically to describe the counterculture and revolution in social norms about clothing, music, drugs, dress, sexuality, formalities, and schooling; and in others pejoratively to denounce the decade as one of irresponsible excess, flamboyance, and decay of social order. The decade was also labeled the Swinging Sixties because of the fall or relaxation of social taboos especially relating to racism and sexism that occurred during this time. Commentator Christopher Booker described this era as a classical Jungian nightmare cycle, where a rigid culture, unable to contain the demands for greater individual freedom, broke free of the social constraints of the previous age through extreme deviation from the norm. He charts the rise, success, fall/nightmare and explosion in the London scene of the 1960s. Several Western nations such as the United States, United Kingdom, France, and West Germany turned to the political left in the early and mid-1960s.
The Sixties was a Canadian current affairs television series which aired on CBC Television from 1963 to 1966.
This series was similar to Citizens' Forum in that it was a co-production of the CBC and the Canadian Association for Adult Education which concerned newsworthy topics. Episodes featured a panel discussion which was led by Frank McGee for the first two seasons then by Charles Lynch in the final season. Subjects of international scope were presented such as foreign assistance, English-French relations in Canada, or the situation within and near the Communist Bloc.
The series was broadcast on Sunday afternoons in the first season after which it appeared on late Monday evenings. The half-hour series was broadcast as follows:
CKCU-FM is a Canadian community-based campus radio station, broadcasting at 93.1 FM in Ottawa, and offering live and archived on-demand MP3 streams from its website. The station broadcasts 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
The station's studios are located on the campus of Carleton University, on the fifth floor of the University Centre building. The station's signal is radiated from the Ryan Tower in the Gatineau Hills, along with most of Ottawa's other private and public radio stations, meaning that it enjoys full broadcast power and a listening area with a radius of 100 km.
CKCU Radio Carleton is Canada's oldest community-based campus radio station. It first broadcast on November 14, 1975 when it played Joni Mitchell's "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio". CKCU broadcasts live 24 hours a day to a 100 km radius on FM 93.1.
CKCU airs over 100 different shows each week, including multicultural programs in 14 languages. The schedule includes both general and specialty music programs, public affairs and spoken word programming, and features many shows with a topical or international flavour. Some shows feature live in-studio performances by local artists. CKCU actively supports, sponsors and promotes local independent musicians, venues, concerts and festivals including the Ottawa Folk Festival.

“These are my ‘hits?’ Columbia Records picked the title of this album, not me. Now read the truth,” Pete Seeger says at the beginning of the liner notes he has written for the back of this New collection. It is a very good collection: “Little Boxes,” “Wimoweh,” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” “Bells of Rhymney,” “Turn, Turn, Turn,” “Guantanamera,” among others. They were recorded in concert. Seeger goes on to explain that these aren’t his hits, but things that he has come across, some of which he has put tunes to or to words and other people have taken up and made hits. The one extraordinary case is when he made a hit of Malvina Reynold’s song (“Little Boxes”) in his own version.

On July 26, 1956, the House of Representatives voted 373 to 9 to cite Pete Seeger and seven others (including playwright Arthur Miller) for contempt, as they failed to cooperate with House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in their attempts to investigate alleged subversives and communists. Pete Seeger testified before the HUAC in 1955. In one of Pete's darkest moments, when his personal freedom, his career, and his safety were in jeopardy, a flash of inspiration ignited this song. The song was stirred by a passage from Mikhail Sholokhov's novel "And Quie Flows the Don". Around the world the song traveled and in 1962 at a UNICEF concert in Germany, Marlene Dietrich, Academy Award-nominated German-born American actress, first performed the song in French, as "Qui peut dire ou vont l...

Today, May 3 2009, is Pete Seeger's 90th birthday. I can't make the big concert at Madison Square Garden to celebrate it, so this is my small tribute to him, an amazing man with an amazing wife, and an amazing life. This was performed at the "We Are One" Presidential Inaugural Concert, January 19, 2009. The song was written by Woodie Guthrie in 1940, first recorded by him in 1944 at Folkway Records, but not released until 1951.

I grew up in the 1940s and 1950s. I became a documentary filmmaker when I was just 22 years old so by the time I got a grant from PBS to make a television series on the 1960s titled Making Sense of the Sixties (1990), I had been doing documentary interviews for a very long time. This is a clip from an episode of that series. When people say that the 1950s were easier than today, the 1950s may have been easier for certain groups of people. For example the economy was strong, unemployment was low, and the middle class was expanding. Also the post-World War II era brought about a sense of stability and prosperity for many Americans. Economic prosperity: The 1950s were a time of economic growth and stability in the United States. The post-World War II boom led to low unemployment rates, ...

Things EVERYONE Did in the 1960s... But Are Now Banned The 1960s, a decade of change, liberation, and vibrant cultural shifts, is often looked back upon with a mix of nostalgia and amazement. As we rummage through the treasure chest of the past, it's intriguing to find that several norms and practices, once ubiquitous in the 60s, have since been consigned to the pages of history, not just because of changing times but because they're now actually banned! Let’s take a walk down memory lane and explore eight iconic activities that everyone did in the 60s but are now prohibited.
The 1960s saw the rise of sci-fi cinema, blending groundbreaking effects and deep storytelling. From 2001: A Space Odyssey to The Time Machine, these five influential films reshaped the genre, exploring futuristic visions and timeless human struggles. #SciFiMovies #1960scinema 00:00 2001: A Space Odyssey 01:21 Planet of the Apes 02:23 Fahrenheit 451 03:21 Fantastic Voyage 04:26 The Time Machine
In which John Green teaches you about a time of relative tumult in the United States, the 1960s. America was changing rapidly in the 1960s, and rights movements were at the forefront of those changes. Civil Rights were dominant, but the 60s also saw growth in the Women's Movement, the LGBT Rights Movement, the Latino Rights Movement, and the American Indian Movement. Also, Americans began to pay a bit more attention to the environment. All this change happened against the backdrop of the Cold War and the Rise of Conservatism. It was just wild. John will teach you about sit-ins, Freedom Rides, The March on Washington, MLK, JFK, LBJ, and NOW. Man, that is a lot of initialisms. And one acronym.

Chorus:
Seventy miles of wind and spray,
Seventy miles of water,
Seventy miles of open bay--
It's a garbage dump.
What's that stinky creek out there,
Down behind the slum's back stair
Sludgy puddle, sad and gray?
Why man, that's San Francisco Bay.
(CHORUS)
Big Solano and the Montecelle'
Ferry boats, I know them well,
Creek and groan in their muddy graves
Remembering San Francisco Bay
(CHORUS)
Joe Ortega and the Spanish crew
Sailed across the ocean blue
Came into the mighty Bay
Stood on the decks and cried, "Ole"
(CHORUS)
Fill it here, fill it here.
Docks and tidelands disappear,
Shaky houses on the quaky ground
The builder, he's Las Vegas bound
(CHORUS)
Dump the garbage in the Bay
City fathers say, "Okay,
When cries of anguish fill the air,
We'll be off on the Riviere."
