Pete Seeger - Wimoweh & Flowers Gone



Uploaded by: 2old2Rock
Video Description:
This is from a controversial episode of the Smothers Brothers. Originally, Pete sang his song "Waist Deep In The Big Muddy" in between these two songs but CBS deemed it too political to air and deleted it from the broadcast. However, he did perform the song on a subsequent broadcast and this time CBS allowed it to air. That version is available on Youtube:

"Blue-suit announcer guy"? The only one in a blue suit in this clip is Tom Smothers! You might notice he's playing with him at the beginning of this clip.
Tom Smothers is not a prick - he's one half of The Smothers Brothers and quite funny...Dick Smothers is usually the "straight man" hence his comment.
You could do a search here on Youtube to see some other Smothers Brothers clips...really...they're funny...and talented musicians...really!

"the blue suit announcer guy"... man! That's the Smother's Bros who dared to put this blacklisted dude on the air..and they took a lot of heat for it. Pete, your freakin' awesome and NEVER irrelevent. Pete Seeger is timeless...and a brilliant singer/songwriter/performer.
Seeger is an ... ( 8 months ago by blffle)
Seeger is an excellent musician as well as a great human being. Look for the documentary on PBS where he explains how his parents were excellent classical musicians who put together a touring concert tour of the US and therein discovered that a lot of backwoods folks had some pretty good music to play too. Pete shows of some pretty darn mean Bach keyboard music played on his banjo!

I love this man Bob Seeger, what a breath of fresh air to see him, and know he was motivated by simply unselfish reasons and then contrast him with the people in the entertainment industry of todays world, and ask them what they are motivated by the majority are in it for the money, not all are though, but we can all learn a lesson from this man.

no, that's how he sings the verse from time to time--i think he ended the song before he got to the "soldiers are all in graveyards" verse--either that or the verse was edited out.
Viewing Mr. ... ( 5 months ago by Not14Lies)
Viewing Mr. Seeger's other videos, it very evident the man is a total class act. Modest and humble to say the least. He does this version in 1968, preformed in Stockholm, Sweden, he could have included the graveyard verse. Unlike today's shock jock mentality, I'll bet he censored him self. As he wouldn't want to offend love ones who were losing there son's, brothers and or husbands as a war was raging on at that time. either version the the meaning is there.
