Mika Seeger Explained
Mika Seeger is an American ceramic artist.[1] Although not primarily a musical artist, she did record a definitive version of "Great Green Gobs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts".[2] She is the daughter of filmmaker Toshi Seeger and Pete Seeger, a legendary American folk musician.
Seeger achieved some prominence in 1968 when she was arrested for involvement in anti-police demonstrations in Mexico City in July 1968. She rejected legal assistance from the U.S. Embassy, electing to retain local counsel.[3] Mexico expelled Seeger from Mexico at the end of the year.[4]
