An exclusive excerpt from "Democracy Now"'s 2004 interview with the legendary folk singer and activist Pete Seeger, who died Jan. 27 at the age of 94. Seeger describes the Peekskill Riots of 1949, when he and the singer and actor Paul Robeson were attacked after they performed. Then, we play back a 2011 interview WGXC's Tanya Blue did with Seeger in Ulster County. Plus other radio news about radio waves.
