Legendary folk singer Pete Seeger is 90 years old! Why do I care? Well, Pete Seeger is a big environmentalist, as you might expect... His big cause? Cleaning up the Hudson River in New York... Well, I grew up along the banks of that river. Swam in it, sailed on it., and lived to tell... Back in those days, it was actually a pretty bad scene... The river was very dirty, and there was a lot of furor over PCB's from the big GM plant that used to sit on the bank of the river... Pete Seeger helped launch something called, "The Cleawater," a sloop that cruised up and down the river and promoted ecology. I can remember checking it out and thinking it was really "neat!" Clearwater is still around... And so, thankfully is Pete!
