Pete Seeger: Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In
As Willie Nelson taught us, you just can’t play a sad song on a banjo. Folk legend Pete Seeger unveils his newest protest song.
Pete Seeger, activist and one of the greatest singer/songwriters of the last century, has spoken out through song against the BP oil spill.
He performed his new protest song, "God's Countin' On Me, God's Countin' On You" with musician James Maddock in a concert benefiting the Gulf Restoration Network.
