Talk:The Weavers

message: It appears that "traditional Jewish folk song" is not correct. See (removed per WP:COPYRIGHT) though some claims were made that it was, it appears to be an actual composition in WWII. -- BRG 21:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

message: One line says, "They avoided the controversial songs in their repertoire," but doesn't say in what way or context they avoided them, so it makes no sense. If they avoid songs completely, on what basis do we say they were "in their repertoire" -- the fact that the members were aware the song existed??  If, as I suspect, the author means that they avoided these songs in some particular context (performances, tours, recordings), this idea should be stated clearly. 
(A random moment indeed: As I was typing this, my online personal radio station picked a Weavers song out of the hundreds of artists and thousands of songs I've rated. Life is strange, albeit generally fun.) Lawikitejana 06:10, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Confusing comment!

message: None of the members of the group have the last name "Weaver".  Shouldn't an encyclopedic article about them tell why they were called "The Weavers", when none of them carried this surname? --Schmendrick 16:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why "The Weavers?" 

message: Not possible to locate such material as to other members besides Ronnie Gilbert and Pete Seeger? Historically fascinating people, all of them, as to serious discrimination after the early 1950s because of the then-panic over supposed hazard posed by leftists. Steadily dying off, alas, after the first and early death back in 1981. Deeply regrettable beside the astonishing longevity of their colleague Oscar Brand -- at one point in the 1960s their rare champion on his television program back home in Canada.

message: Is it inappropriate to mention Oscar Brand bringing the Weavers to Canada for his 1965-66 television program "Let's Sing Out"? Canada was significantly to the left of the USA from the 1940s onwards and despite recent accusations in the USA of its having been and remaining non-participatory in military matters, was in WWI and WWII two years before the US, fully participated in the Korean War 1950-53 and only refused to be involved in the Red Scare of the 1950s -- which essentially ended the Weavers -- or the Vietnam War of the 1960s. Bringing the Weavers to the CBC to perform in the mid-1960s surely deserves to be spoken of, however briefly. Masalai (talk) 03:01, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
