[xxblazingKiLLjoYxx]

I'm 15 and my best friend introduced me to them, I just love them! Why aren't people my age listening to this kind of music? It's so pretty (:

[DianaEnglandsRose]

This song is as American to be as baseball

[Livvypuent]

I love this band do much...I am 19 and a lot of people think I am shitty taste...but this is really the best taste!!

[DrFeelRotten]

Jeeez.. Some of you kiddies just don't get it do you? Music used to say something instead of selling something.

[twixbits]

what a beautiful voice mary had R.I.P.

[helencheddar]

This song is too true.  When will we ever learn? Answer: never.

[nhgranite1]

Back in the days of monophonic (prestereo) I bought the album Songs of the Earth-Theodore Bikel and the Pennywhistlers. Bikel was the first Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, I believe, but memory fades. On the aforementioned album he sings Kaloda Duda in Russian, and says it is written by Sholokov in "Quiet Flows the Don";it inspired Pete Seeger to write this song, the last verse of the poem, "where are the Cossacks? They've gone to war." Many thanks for posting these wonderful videos and memorys

[cschoon1213]

@ nhgranite1 ,

Thank YOU for your thoughts !

[ProphecyAndScripture]

...love this one... says a lot... how sad no one listens to what history has to say in the words of truth expressed in the haunting melodies and words of what has now slipped into that place called 'the past'... we have all fallen victim to loss of memory and an inappreciation of the cost of what has passed... we will therefore repeat the lessons, not having learned them yet... how sad...

[cschoon1213]

@ ProphecyAndScripture,

Exceptionally well said and sadly true.

Thanks Sis b.

[I2evengeXL]

Where have all the young girls gone? Gone to become prostetutes. When will they ever learn?

Where have all the husbands gone? Gone to find better wives. When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soilders gone? Gone to bomb Afghanistan. When will they ever learn?

Where have all the Afghani people gone? Gone to hell tonight. When will they ever learn? When will they..........ever learn?

XD WONDERFUL SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE PETER, PAUL AND MARY(Well maybe not Mary)

[ignitionremix]

I love this song and I accidentally remembered this one after watching a UN (United Nations) video.

PS: I can't believe someone would dislike this vid... (probably a Justin Bieber fan)

R.I.P. Mary.

[bellaedward945]

[AliciaTaylorton]

RIP Mary... I miss music like this. I'm only 13, but I admire this music so much more...

[eric5906]

@AliciaTaylorton : me too. I'm 44 and was born when this song was written.Keep investigating the truth. Go with God. Hare Krishna.

[mighty9178]

smoke shit fatheroflatus

[mighty9178]

groovy man plain groovy. i need a flower dude

[fatheroflatus]

@mighty9178 Here, smoke this.

[brianclough]

This is a really super song, I also heard it in a movie about RFK, where it was played to reminisce his life. Since then I always relate this song to him.

[magda95lena]

I think THAT is music!

[bobbya16]

these guys are great, but boy are they hideous looking....most folk groups are, but pp&m take the prize....

[fatheroflatus]

@bobbya16 Well, that sure is important.

[garagarasagara]

I think this is the best version of this song!

[starblue1986]

Classic Peter Paul & Mary  My dad told me he missed being drafted by two years when the Vietnam War ended in 1972. He said many of the guys who were in his sisters class at the time, who enlisted earlier didn't make it back! This song spoke to a generation and generations beyond the 1960s, that War always has a price!

[seread30]

What an amazing song. So comforting knowing that we're just link in the chain of life, which is far greater than we.

[cschoon1213]

@ Athiestyouth,

I am the same way.

I grew up with Rock and Roll and had always listened to other kinds of music too like jazz, classical, and electronic. It depends on the mood you are in.

[PortmerionChina]

I was only a kid (in Britain too) but I'll never forget this time or the music.

[waynebaron]

I there was one wish give to me it would be to stop wars forever. LOVE TO YOU ALL XXX.

[mikee1554]

I was lucky to grow up with this music............ simply brilliant times.... sadly a old man now..... but my memories still remain.... timeless

[DAVEJJR]

@mikee1554 Maybe a older man in years but not at heart!!! Thanks for being I true witness to the music that made this generation.... I was born too late, 1966...

[mikee1554]

@DAVEJJR What made this music real and meaningfull, was that it had a meaning that people could relate toin their everyday life..... and being able to sing along to the song......... 1966 was a great year as well.. british pop scene was in full swing... I went to Caranby St. in 1967......... WoW!! flower Power everywhere, jus amazing............ Still there's always YouTube for the memories

[jpr1950]

@Extremely well put Mikee!! Memories are the one and only thing we have that no one can ever take away!!

[123mmm101]

@mikee1554 you got to grow up with masterpieces while i'm listening to shit... you may be old, but at least you have good memories :)

[lrsmith]

I feel sorry for everyone that missed the '60s. A decade that will be missed and never repeated; and never forgotten.

[123mmm101]

@lrsmith ... I wished I was born so i could see all these artists at that time instead of relying on youtube... its not the same being able to hear then and watch them now no matter how high quality or low quality.

[TJOR101723]

Wow... I miss those days.. I have met many that lived at that time and they all say that it came and went.. like a wonderful dream that came like a shooting star and vanished just as quickly. Like a summer romance there and gone again never to come back but remembered forever until death. It was a hero to the american decades of time and something that will be kept forever in my heart and hopefully in others.

[cschoon1213]

@ TJOR101723,

Yes. Although I was a kid growing up in the 60s, I remember well the almost magical atmosphere of love and excitement then which continued into the mid-70s. It was a wonderful time of togetherness and love and remarkable creativity in the arts and music.

[paulomtts]

Thank you for this video.

[cschoon1213]

@ paulomtts,

You are qquite welcome !

:-)

[hillbby]

It is a shame that they are pigeon holed as protest, hippy folksingers when they are such transcendent musicians and vocalists.

[MAGC1966]

What a beautiful song, so beautifully sang. RIP dear Mary - sadly missed and loved.

[cschoon1213]

@ MAGC1966,

Ditto !

[KatieLimone]

Beautiful

No one can.

Universal questions to the uselessness of war.

[santamara]

Excellent post! A classic!

Thank you and Resonantforce for sharing!

[Resonantforce]

:o)  xo

[tenor175]

This was one of the first folk songs I learned on the guitar when I was 13. I was young during the Viet Nam war, which was one of the worst wars ever! This song really nailed it, and I love it! Thank you for posting this! My sisters and I still sing this on get togethers.

[WaitingToCatchUp]

But, it is true that more wars have been fought over wealth, women, and religion, than anything else.

[backhandgrip1]

And wars, Greywolf have been fought for resources like water and food since the begining of humankind.

[greywolf760]

Wars are fought for money, greed and egos. When will they ever learn?

[streltski88]

Dont forget that they are also fought for liberty-Thermopylae,Stirling,N­avarino, Xanthos, Bunker Hill and Marathon to name a few.

[IAmWhatIAmEtTuLeSais]

We must look at the cause of those wars that you name, the cause is not liberty, though liberty is at stake. The causes were still generally greed, power and egos (or something along those lines).

Although your point is still extremely valid, it doesn't justify wars, it justifies a right to defend your rights.

What humanity seems not to be able to learn is that to threaten the rights of another is wrong.

[gesswhoto]

God bless her. ):

[rlegear19]

How can somebody give a thumbs down to a " God bless her"..... even the most militant atheist has to simply shut the fuck up when somebody pays a small tribute to an artist who along with Peter and Paul brought the joy of folk music harmonies to generations. Mary Travers was a giant in the folk music genre and was instrumental in advancing Bob Dylan`s music to the mainstream.

[SuperBluehaze]

Where have all the flowers gone. Vietnam, the civil rights movement, "Death of a Salesman". We can not go back in this movement that drive us onward, we can only look forward to another time, perhaps, a time when we no longer need soldiers, for there will be no wars for them to fight.

[cschoon1213]

I long for that time.

Wars should have ended a long long time ago.

They are an anathema that should never have appeared on the face of the earth to begin with.

We are Children of God, not beasts.

Peace ~~~ Chuck

[highwayhokie]

just as bad as war is the way we treat animals. God gave us dominion over the animals, like a king has dominion over his kingdom. It does not come with the right to be inhumane to creatures that God has put here on earth with us.
