Sharp Notes Monday: ‘Turn, Turn Turn’

While our Sharp Notes, Sharp Thoughts music and social media project is on hiatus for the summer, we are sharing a song every Monday to start your week.

On Thursday, the U.S. Post Office will issue a new stamp featuring Pete Seeger.

Seeger’s career embodied a spirit of music and social justice. His catalog includes dozens of songs. We chose one his most popular, “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season),” to start the week.

Adapted from the Book of Ecclesiastes, the song delivered a powerful message when it was released 60 years ago in 1962, and that message remains just as powerful today.
