From: Ron Radosh on Peter Dreier
Dreier, a man I have met personally and who is a good friend of a good friend of mine, sent me a nasty e-mail a few years ago.
He went bananas after I wrote one of my critical articles about Pete Seeger (one of his heroes in the new book) and told me that not only was I one of the worst people on earth, but that he knew that the only thing that got me up in the morning was the desire to drive to Wal-Mart, shop there, and hence oppress the poor.
I responded to him that he should complain to his other great hero, Bruce Springsteen, since just that week the singer had announced that his new CD would be exclusively sold at Wal-Mart!
I then got in my car and, to make myself feel good, drove to Wal-Mart and did some grocery shopping.
