@stukin70s , as an educator, your comment brought tears to my eyes, and as a believer in the rights of free speech as well as peace, it made my heart a little lighter. Your words, and your memories of your fourth grade teacher, are reminders that America is still a land of dreams, it is still a land of freedom, and it is still a land of possibilities. Your school made a terrible choice, in an environment of terrible choices, but your teacher made a beautiful decision which lives on today. Thanks
We didn't see it often in performance, but Mary Travers had one of the most gorgeous smiles I have ever seen--her eyes sparkled, & that perfect face was even more so. Wolfsky9
...a lovely song and performance. Few would argue that war is anything but hell on earth. But is is right to sit idly by and allow tyrants to kill, mame, rape and pilliage when you posess the power to stop them? One of the great moral questions of all time. To just say "war is bad" is simplistic, myopic and does not take into account the true evil-doers that continue to exist to this very day! Sad but true!!
Wow -- Mary Travers is the freak'in "mom" mtRNA|DNA to Gisel Bündchen, among the recent decade's mega-top-dollar-paid fashions models ever...whereas, many contemporaneous critics et al narrow thinkers, discounted Mary's "strong looks" as, at best, a cruder version of the "Julie Christie school of peroxide-locks"; whereas, in retrospect--at least for newer generations--review of the ubber-graphical stagings, w/high-key lighting, proves my salient point. Not my type, but lookers all the same!
When I was a student teacher, the music teacher asked the children if anyone knew this song. One very cute girl named Maria said, " I do, mt dad wrote this song" It was Maria Dylan
How this song pertains to us today: We can't turn a blind eye on all the children, mothers, fathers, and people dying in the Middle East for peacefully protesting.
I should have grown up in beatnik days: gone to coffee houses, played bongos, wrote poetry, marched for civil rights, hung out with beatnik chicks and caught VD.
It has long been listening to these voices thus have earned their right with so many bad examples it seems that their reports are the same and who remembers carrying direction?
When the idiot showed him the moon, he could only see that finger pointed. Not for me to emphasize that it is true, but who said this was done with the best intentions.
comparing songs from the past years to now you can see the difference. you do not need to show so much skin to get the message across [acceptance with same sex, dreams, and world hunger], you do not have audio tuning interferring with ones natural voice. there are pros and cons in which decade was the music seen as music and free speech but for me from the 40's- mid 90's music was free speech and done beautiful without slang words and degrading woman as sluts. but that is just my way of thinkin
When I hear people say todays music is awful etc it reminds me of exactly what my parents were saying to us as kids in the 60s. LMAO. We did have many great bands and music but it doesnt mean music of today is bad. If people have to put down something to appreciate what they like then they need to get a life.
like this song so much , the first time really listen to this song when Beyond Wong Ka Kui sing this song..Admired Ka Kui so much and always like what hes chosen as briliant like always..Rest In Peace Wong Ka Kui..
Music was a staple in my home growing up, not TV, and the only other electronics were alarm clocks. I remember Peter, Paul and Mary with great fondness. Although young when they started - about 10-11, I grew up with them and our protests back then were peaceful (w/few exceptions), we had solutions to suggest, we made a difference, i.e. 26th Amendment to the Constitution. It was a wonderful time to grow up and the music was indelibly etched in our hearts and minds.
MTV's introduction in 1981, formalizing music videos as a "standard" for enjoying the music experience wiped out many bands with the visual appeal. Additionally, when they were "acquired" years later, and commericalized, it became nothing more than a conduit, much the same a Disney to allow to you see whatever junk the corporations think you should spend your money on. They also think, and cling to antiquiated distribrution channels. We want the 9 sucky songs with one good one. C'mon.
The music being made today, last decade, the 90's, and the 80's ABSOLUTELY BLOWS compared to what was made from 62-77. Try to find groups anywhere near as good as the Band, the Doors, The Beatles and 300 others great artists. You don't even have one!
@quark4567 It is old. This is probably from the 70s. Mary Travers, the woman in the video, died in 2009, at the age of 72, and both Peter and Paul are now 73.
My fourth grade music teacher was severely reprimanded for teaching this song to us; our principal said it was "subversive". She taught us this song a few days after a memorial service in the high school gym for a graduate who had died in Vietnam recently; they attended our school together. Shortly after her reprimand she quit teaching and joined the peace movement; I never saw her again. I learned from her example, to thine own self be true; some beliefs require, and are worth, the sacrifice.
@stukin70s Then she did a great job- she actually reached one of her students, which I fear not enough teachers in the US are able to do. And the principal was right; it is subversive. But only if to those who want it all for themselves. Thanks for posting this. //O-O\\
@Connectification1993 In my little farm belt, Republican right wing, bible thumping corner of the Yakima Valley, you didn't do, say, write or act in any manner that might be considered "unpatriotic." Any kind of anti-Vietnam War expression was strictly forbidden in the early years of the war, to do so meant being branded as a communist sympathizer and a danger to the state. Remember; these same people worked at Hanford Nuclear Reservation where they created material for nuclear warheads!
@Connectification1993 Often freedom of speech comes at a price; sometimes your job, sometimes your life.During the same time, citizens in the civil rights movement believed in freedom and equality, many paid with their lives fighting for it.. America; land of the free because of the brave, Remember; often the brave are not armed or in the military but their sacrifices are no less important or less sacred. America will only be free as long as her citizens are willing to fight to keep it that way.
It's really cool! Don't laugh at me but I've discovered their version of the song just recently. And I can't stop listening to it! Thanks to uploader and gods bless you.
I agree that this music is great, but it really gets me when people say that this was so much better than the music being made today. It just isn't true. There is amazing and beautiful music that has been produced throughout every decade. Unfortunately, you just have to look beyond the radio and MTV to find it these days. There are fantastic musicians around today who are making some of the best music I have ever heard, you just have to look harder.
@coolguysayswhatev I usually just assume they are talking about the "top 40" sort of songs. First thing that comes to mind Is Mumford for something that can be equally moving as Peter, Paul, and Mary.
@coolguysayswhatev I could not agree with you more, my friend. For instance, Sung Tongs is one of the best albums I have ever heard, and it was released only seven years ago. There have been, and always will be, great artists producing incredible art. Fortunately for us, the mid-to-late 60's happened to be a time when art such as this was celebrated.
@coolguysayswhatev Can you suggest some you like? And is there any forum where we can find and discuss about such music you speak of? I'm sure there are talented people out there who go unnoticed.
@coolguysayswhatev So true, people fail to notice the great artists of today 'cause they pay too much attention to all the fabricated bullshit being released! Such a tragedy... =(((
@coolguysayswhatev I agree, there is great music being made today, and there was crap being made the... The main difference is that this was a number one charting single. People do not gravitate to quality any more...
@mimosf People's choice are influenced by the media. If good music isn't in the charts that's because the media doesn't expose good music. How can I like a song if I never heard it in radios, TV etc...? Unfortanetly most people can't go beyond what radio and TV usually offer.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow did they butcher this song. I feel like dylan never really wanted his song to be played by a bunch of goons on a right wing television station like this. If they listened to what the lyrics actually meant I think they would have thought twice before contradicting themselves.
@MrCuit1234 This "bunch of goons", as you so nicely call them, was a trio that sang some of the most popular protest songs of the 1960s and were loved by many people, including the people in Britain who watched the BBC, which at the time had 2 channels (BBC Four wasn't created till the 1990s so this is clearly a recent broadcast of the original show), and therefore the whole nation, left-wing and right-wing, watched them. Bob Dylan's songs are a gift and good on PP&M for sharing them with us.
@MrCuit1234 wow you just made yourself sound like a complete fool do a little research before you speak these "goons" did more for civil rights and the environment than most of us could hope to.
@MrCuit1234 wow you just made yourself sound like a complete fool do a little research before you speak these "goons" did more for civil rights and the environment than most of us could hope to.
Recalling this song and hearing it since my coming into this world December of 65, I still sing it and wonder when the rest of humanity will listen...
Lots of people have their favorites, but the harmony of the three is what makes this great. Its weird to see Bob Dylan's version as being a cover since he wrote it.
@Kitchensinkable bob wrote this in 1962, he said himself he wrote in 10 minutes, can you show me your source because i haven't found any place where it says anyone but bob wrote this.
@MrBaddestbadass Why? The state of the present generation is wholly responsible for the one that came before it: that of your parents. Now is the only generation where the young people have a worse outlook than their parents had in over 100 years, it wasn't your generation that did that. A generation becomes the way it is because of educatioin, society values etc. and they have become what they are today because of the previous generation.
as long as the young kid of today make the money and have the drugs they THINK every thing is ok with there world . Bless the golden age of music and what inspired them in the first place...get back to your roots
amazing singers,singing an equally amzing song!one of my fav. trio of all time...i love all their songs bec. of their unique lyrics & beautful melodies.very uplifting & soothing to the soul...pure talent indeed!
Who ever invented the gun, the pistol and the bomb should be SHOT with their own gun. We don't need war we need peace! This song is peace full! Let's play it again, LOUDER!
I got a few chills here and there, and I'm 20 years old. Ah those harmonies! Yes, I do love this music. Thanks for playing it for me ever since my earliest days, Mom. :)
These 3 individuals never wavered in their belief that peace & civil rights were, indeed, noble causes. Mary Travers, a Kentucky girl, could have been significant in 60's contemporary music but made the decision to share her beliefs in a very magical musical way, was lost in 2009. Who are today's Peter, Paul & Mary? Social conscientiousness, today, is considered passe by most entertainers in favor of the all might dollar. I fear humanity is headed down a road with no return.
Sadly your observations are spot on. Things are getting worse, not better. And the country is about to be taken over by people who appear to have escaped the loony farm. With apologies to the loony farm.
Wow!!!!! Music sure has changed since then. It was a time when music and lyric had a soul... now; most music today is based on profit and contains just an empty shell devoid of life-force. Yes my friends... I did shed a tear, or two. -Just beautiful indeed...
I agree! We had so many hopes for our world. Now I see only it only going down. The real shame is we do have the ability to change we just don't have the will!
i remember when i was in elementary school and my mom used to play their cd...granted im only 18 now...i still adore this music. this is true music. i wish there could be groups today that could sound like this.
Having met Peter, Paul and Mary, I can tell you personally how well they performed their music to say something, and how much they believed in making this world a better place to be for all mankind. They have given their lives to causes they really believed in, and we are all in debt to them! Thank you Peter, Paul and Mary!
This hit by Peter, Paul & Mary was the 31st song to hit #1 on Billboard's newly formed chart that is now known as the Adult Contemporary charts. They were also the first group to have a second #1 hit on this chart (Puff, the Magic Dragon).
@joeygsmom Sorry if I offended you. I just type my thoughts as they come to me. I saw her video of a couple years ago before she died & wanted to see what she looked like young. Scary shit! EWE!!!!!!
3 roads, 5 seas, 100000001 canon balls, 20 million years for mountains, 5 to life for people, man kind pretty much turns its head to everything, I'm sure once is good enough to see the sky, if he doesnt hear it first he probably never will, 1 death, any other questions?
Are they still around playing; - I saw an interview by Michele from the Mamas and the Papas, and I understand that she is the only one left now,,,,,,,well, we have to live with getting those sadness as our idols passes due to time.....nothing much we can do about it; but it is really sad
@onlinelondon Mary died in 2009 from Leukemia. Peter and Paul still play concerts separately and together. You can find them on the Internet by typing in Peter Yarrow or Noel Paul Stookey, and going to the Peter, Paul and Mary website. Each year, Peter and Paul come to the Kerrville (TX) Folk Festival. I saw them in 2010 and enjoyed their music. Peter brought his daughter, his son, and his 5-year-old granddaughter to sing with him. Noel and his daughter also sang.
they spoke to the time of the 60's , how ever the same types of problems still extise today. we can always have hope that thier message will one day be heard. peace.
I would rather listen to them than Lady Gaga. Thumbs up if you agree.

@mimosf People's choice are influenced by the media. If good music isn't in the charts that's because the media doesn't expose good music. How can I like a song if I never heard it in radios, TV etc...? Unfortanetly most people can't go beyond what radio and TV usually offer.

wow did they butcher this song. I feel like dylan never really wanted his song to be played by a bunch of goons on a right wing television station like this. If they listened to what the lyrics actually meant I think they would have thought twice before contradicting themselves.
MrCuit1234 4 months ago
@MrCuit1234 This "bunch of goons", as you so nicely call them, was a trio that sang some of the most popular protest songs of the 1960s and were loved by many people, including the people in Britain who watched the BBC, which at the time had 2 channels (BBC Four wasn't created till the 1990s so this is clearly a recent broadcast of the original show), and therefore the whole nation, left-wing and right-wing, watched them. Bob Dylan's songs are a gift and good on PP&M for sharing them with us.

@MrBaddestbadass Why? The state of the present generation is wholly responsible for the one that came before it: that of your parents. Now is the only generation where the young people have a worse outlook than their parents had in over 100 years, it wasn't your generation that did that. A generation becomes the way it is because of educatioin, society values etc. and they have become what they are today because of the previous generation.

These 3 individuals never wavered in their belief that peace & civil rights were, indeed, noble causes. Mary Travers, a Kentucky girl, could have been significant in 60's contemporary music but made the decision to share her beliefs in a very magical musical way, was lost in 2009. Who are today's Peter, Paul & Mary? Social conscientiousness, today, is considered passe by most entertainers in favor of the all might dollar. I fear humanity is headed down a road with no return.

Having met Peter, Paul and Mary, I can tell you personally how well they performed their music to say something, and how much they believed in making this world a better place to be for all mankind. They have given their lives to causes they really believed in, and we are all in debt to them! Thank you Peter, Paul and Mary!

@onlinelondon Mary died in 2009 from Leukemia. Peter and Paul still play concerts separately and together. You can find them on the Internet by typing in Peter Yarrow or Noel Paul Stookey, and going to the Peter, Paul and Mary website. Each year, Peter and Paul come to the Kerrville (TX) Folk Festival. I saw them in 2010 and enjoyed their music. Peter brought his daughter, his son, and his 5-year-old granddaughter to sing with him. Noel and his daughter also sang.
