Yes, very sad. A hugely influential man. No Pete Seegar, no Woody Guthrie. No Woody Guthrie, no Bob Dylan.

Sad to see his wiki page has been hacked already... :-(

Wiki pages aren't hacked, exactly; anyone can go into them and edit them (click on "Edit") and see what changes others have made (click on "View history").

Awwww me too bops, RIP Pete Seeger.

[Prudie]

At 94 it's not exactly sad but RIP, he was very influential. I heard it on the news early this morning and thought Ah there'll be a thread about that then .

[marval]

Sad to hear of his death, rest in peace Pete.

[jeffa]

Apologies, 'hijacked' is better than hacked.

Some idiot had replaced the picture on the top right of his wiki page with one of male genitalia. You can see the exchange as it was restored at around 07:45. What a shining wit!

Really sorry Boxtops I did not see this earlier. And when i heard it on the radio this evening posted another thread almost identical. Sorry Im 74 and he has been apart of my life too! (hence some one asking if AB had echoes) I now understand what they meant. RIP and go in peace
