This is probably the last song written by Pete Seeger that I'll be posting, at least for now. There's a list circulating of his best five songs, and that's what I've been using as a guide. "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" was written at the height of America's involvement in the Vietnam War. Seeger recorded it for an appearance on the Smothers Brothers' show. The song was cut by the network executives, a stink was raised, and a few weeks later the song was aired. This is that performance.
