Re: [IRCA] WHKP-1450 and their Commie music format






Thanks Steve. Wouldn't that make MM&P part of the party? Why would they record songs
written by known Communist?

I think that we need to move this thread of the list, before it is killed by the monitor.
I am always willing to talk to anyone about this OFF THE LIST! PLEASE!

Dunno about Peter, Paul and Mary, but "If I Had a Hammer"'s two writers were respectively a Communist and what the McCarthyites used to call a "fellow traveler."

Pete Seeger joined the Young Communist League (YCL) in 1937, and the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) in 1942.

Lee Hays was a regular contributor to the Marxist periodical New Masses in the 1930's. In a letter published in the January 11, 1938 issue, he describes himself as "a rank-and-file worker of a Soviet America."
