Pete Seeger, (responding to House Unamerican Activities Committee questions, August 18, 1955):
“I am not going to answer any questions as to my association, my
philosophical or religious beliefs or my political beliefs, or how I
voted in any election, or any of these private affairs. I think these
are very improper questions for any American to be asked, especially
under such compulsion as this. I would be very glad to tell you my life
if you want to hear of it.”
...and...
"I
have sung for Americans of every political persuasion, and I am
proud that I never refuse to sing to an audience, no matter what
religion or color of their skin, or situation in life. I have
sung in hobo jungles, and I have sung for the Rockefellers, and I
am proud that I have never refused to sing for anybody. That is
the only answer I can give along that line."

...and so we shall, someday.
