    Seriously? No replies?! That man meant so much to so many. He could take a standard like "I've Been Working on the Railroad" and invest a meaning into it that harkens the importance of hardship and why unions needed to be.

    I somehow missed this the first time around. There is no one like Pete, he was one of a kind. He always found a way.

    I also missed it. I was somewhat shocked that I didn't know about this. A true icon that shaped a generation. R.I.P.

    Or maybe was a transition between generations.
