What a bizarre moment in folk music history.....

I believe him to have orbs of steel !

Pete is a living superhero, not the comic book variety. Still, there should be a movie.....'split wood not atoms', and 'this machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender'!

Yes, Pete continues to amaze and he runs when mere mortals walk.

About that axe story, let's make sure to always debunk the business about him "trying to cut the cables." In fact, as Stephanie quotes, he said, "Dammit, IF I had an axe, I would cut the cables." "IF". Out of frustration with the sound level. There is this inaccurate story that won't go away despite his and others' assurance that he was not wielding an axe.

The running stories will always be accurate, despite the improbability of them.

And everything he does, running, sailing, singing, picking, hammering----he does to save the planet, just what we would expect from a superhero, and more.....

...and the people on it!

Think how many feet (and hands...kids fall) he saved by digging out the glass and hammering in the uprooted nails!

Yep, Superhero is the word I would use as well!

yes, the Newport AXE MYTH!

In those ancient times the media was always getting it wrong and sensationalizing stuff, not like today...

Of course, as late last year - I have seen Pete - on stage - with an sledge hammer and and an anvil, taking wide swings to accentuate what he sang. So what he didnt actually "do" with an axe, he has accomplished many times over.

You shouldnt miss seeing Pete - if you have the opportunity - no matter how near impossible it is to do....
