Pete Seeger: A Gentle Soul
Today, we pay tribute to Pete Seeger, one of the greatest American singers, political role models, and human beings. He lived his 94 years to the fullest, never wavering from his beliefs in the dignity of all people, civil rights, the environment, and decency, even when he was questioned by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1955.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8a7rzGZb1c On the occasion of our 100th episode, we decided to see if we could persuade the Mayor’s Office to issue a proclamation recognizing WILD CHICAGO DAY. It was surprisingly easy. We handed off the document to Field Producer Mike McAlpin one afternoon to see who he might convince to read our official city proclamation on-camera. Playing along were: Kup, Richard Roeper, Stella Foster, Cook County Clerk David Orr, Ald. Burt Natarus, Ald, Bernie Stone and Ald. Dorothy Tillman.

We don’t care when*
*Today, tomorrow, whenever… Media Burn needs your support all the time! Dear Friend of Media Burn: Happy new year! 2014… a milestone year for the Media Burn Independent Video Archive.
