[Platt] Only your mind is obscure. I quoted one line to illustrate that yuppies have never learned the sacrifices required to defend liberty. Obviously, the socialist, pacifist Seeger never learned it either. [Krimel] OK, just to further the history lesson. Seeger or at least his music is better associated with hippies. Yuppies were the corporals and sergeants of the Raygun Revolution. They are best portrayed in the film American Psycho. Seeger on the other hand was featured in "Alice's Restaurant". He was a friend of Woody Guthrie. His songs, were made popular by such flower children as the Mama's and the Papa's, The Byrds, Joaz Baez and the Kingston Trio. His songs, like, "If I Had a Hammer" and his reworking of Ecclesiastes into the celestial, "Turn, Turn, Turn," were at once simple, direct and profoundly cerebral. A nice sample of yuppie music can be found on the American Psycho soundtrack, Phil Collins, Robert Palmer, Huey Lewis, and Katrina and the Waves. Like the Raygun era that spawned it, it is all very energetic, mindless and self centered.
