You know what they say about one man's treasure?
He was a national treasure whether or not there were those who wished to tarnish his worth. Between him and Woody Guthrie, they wrote so many American folk songs that most people around today think have pretty much always been around.
He wrote Where Have All The Flowers Gone, If I Had A Hammer and Turn! Turn! Turn! . All of which I was taught to sing in either school, girl scouts or church as a child as if they were American standards.
So, screw the blacklisters, he was treasure.
