American Masters "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song" 01:26 #2101H PBS
This first authorized film poetically documents Seeger's unique experience and contributions. The man who introduced America to its own folk heritage, he deeply believes in the power of song and is convinced that individuals can make a difference. He made a whole generation passionate about playing the guitar and picking the banjo, and got them singing together and using music as a force for social change. Largely misunderstood by his critics, including the U.S. government, for his views on peace, civil rights and ecology, Seeger went from the top of the hit parade to the top of the blacklist--banned from commercial television for more than 17 years. His inspiring, but not always easy, story is told by everyone from Bob Dylan to the Dixie Chicks and through a remarkable historical archive--a history that Seeger himself, now almost 90 years old, helped create.

Frontline "Karl Rove--The Architect" 00:56 #2310Z (Rpt) PBS

For Rove, observers say, enactment of the Bush agenda is a way to win the biggest prize of all--a permanent Republican majority. [TVRE] R on 3/5 10am; 3/7 12noon
