I used to think they were a group of great singers, but they were socialist (commie) idiots. but now that I'm 65, I realize they weren't all wrong. the country is controlled by the rich and political powerful. and I have a fair amount of money but no power. I feel for my children and grandchildren if things don't change at the top politically.
What a vision! To be able to weed out hate through the rhetoric of folk singing. Makes you almost want to go out and pull out a few symbolic weeds in their honor... This is exactly what I did...I have started a grass roots initiative campaigning for the President to call upon every child in the world to root out a weed for expressing the global desire to weed out hate once and for all. Each time I hear this song, it makes me want to sing out: Let's weed out hate, and sow the seeds of PEACE
Quit with the political crap. I see enough of that garbage on the news. Listen to the music. If you like it great.........if not....go away. Just because PP&M sang during a politically charged time doesn't mean a thing. They sang for the people, not the causes.
This is the song I play when I'm in my small apartment around 5am in the morning and I really get into. I sometimes go around hammering things for no reason and ringing some bells. Everyone in the whole complex seems to like it because they get up and start stomping around and making noise too!
@rumblefishbone66 I'd rather be a socialist than a capitalistic PIG!! You are what's the matter with this country you tea baggin idiots!! You have probably at one time or another taken advantage of social programs and bitch about it all the way to the bank!! If you don't like the truth don't listen to it...you JERK!!
@08151949 I think you'll find Socialism is what's wrong with this Country. Socialists seem to think they're owed a living and want it all without any concept what so ever of how their particular Utopian world is going to be paid for. Socialists are dirty, lying, dishonest thickos that want the world to share their wealth with them but have no intention of sharing their own wealth, equally, with anyone else. You want to try using a few brain cells and try living in the real world... You JERK
@jimblob211 I know what you mean! Just last week I busted my ass for 40 hours moving boxes, fixing lights, cleaning the aisles of a warehouse and hoping that this lump on my side isn't serious. And then, my fucking socialist boss left me with just $200 after taxes, won't provide me with healthcare or sick day, and denied my vacation time, even though we made over $17k that week. Goddamn socialists!
@jimblob211 you know whats wrong with this country..it the people who think democrats are better than republicans are better than socialists..THEY'RE ALL CROOKS!! you think obama cares more about this country then george bush or josheph mccarthy? hell no.
@nick0523 YES; chills indeed! Dead right. PP&M were the very first act I ever saw live in concert, back in the 1960s. Cost me an intimitdating $15 back then!
Yeah, these songs are as relevent today as they were in the 60s and 70s. The lyrics show the strength of courage, to identify a problem, bring it to light, and show us a path to help in solving it. If we look at the political system today, and the inabilty of the todays political leaders work together on the simplist issue, and solved the problems with unbias compromise. It would be great to put them all in one room, for 24 hours, and make them listen to those great words of wisdom.
I agree today's music couldn't make it back then, music meant so much more, and for the meat dress, that is not the only reason shes famous, but i don't think she should bbe in the first place.
@blueberries4ever She can throw her head around as much as she wanted, her message is stll very powerful.
I love this group.Mary was a very beautiful and talented lady, the mixture of these three great artist were able to combined words, talent and beauty, to raise awareness about issues during that period. It still have the same impact today.
Mary Travers is unbelievably attractive in this. The happiness and the glow in her dark eyes, the bangs, the turtleneck, the explosive good health and vitality, the passion for what she's singing about--she pushes her voice to the edge, throwing her whole head into every lyric... takes your breath away, it really does. 27 yrs old at the time.
It was a time of hope. A conviction that we could do something about the war, Viet Nam, Equal rights. There was the smell of Pacholi, insense, flowers. What we wanted was PEACE and JUSTICE. We came close with "Governor Moonbeam, but then hard narcotics insinuated itself into the mindset and things were just not the same. The ONENESS demonstrated by PPM brought us all together. What our nation needs now is a similar movement or is it time for a revolution?
@oldspam GAGA wore a meat dress... and she may be unorthadox and bizzare but she isnt famous solely because of her style. I agree that todays music would never last back then! PP&M is one of my favorites and i am 22. I love GAGA because she is different and she doesnt care. she is what this country needs in our struggles at this time.
I remember when this song came out, it was the first song I learn on the raido from beginning to end. I might have been 3. I taught my children this song when they were small, maybe they will teach their own one day too. Thank You Mary, RIP.
I live on the Hudson River a couple of miles from Pete Seeger..we have the same Hootananny events as there was years ago. It is still inspiring.. Peter is 91 years old and still holds his ground!@!
I wish til this day that they made folk music like the 60s! There's nothing like it. The 60s was a movement for this country and it talks about the everyday life that I wish I could live!

It's so great that young people are hearing this music! Peter, Paul, and Mary were not just entertainers. For me and those I lived with, they were heroes..flames burning in the night to show us it's possible to create a world where the value of people around us is vastly greater than the value of the cash in our bank accounts..a world in which an injustice to the weakest among us is an injustice to all of us.
Listen to the music, DREAM, pick up the torch – there's still so much to be done!
@tb30486 VERY WELL SAID, IM AN INDEPENDENT NOW[ USED TO BE A REPUBLICAN] ALLTHE POLITICIANS RUINED THIS COUNTRY, WE NEED A MIRACLE....BUT WE HAD MIRACLES LIKE PETER PAUL AND THE GREAT MARY TRAVERS..., THANK GOD WE HAD THEM... THANK YOU LORD, PRAISE GOD...
This song works on so many levels it puts a huge smile on my face. It's a reminder just how much music has changed. What I like most about it is how ALIVE the music is. Today there are still many talented artists and great songs being written. But nowadays music is more about appearance and often slick and sterile production, while this, on the other hand, was just about great music passionately performed by a talented group. I miss the idealism, too.
What is with people talking during the singing? It is like talking during a movie. There are people who pulled the site in hopes of hearing the song, not a lot of talking.
My 4th grade teacher who was the coolest teacher ever used to play this song nonstop in class and I was at urban ore the other day browsing through the LPs and found this record for 50 cents, and now I'm all "wooooo" and stuff.
@Champ1on23 You are the reason that music really sucks any more! No heart or soul to what's being passed off as somrething called music! At least when the electricity goes off I can still grab my guitar or violin and play something everyone can sing to as a group! This rap crap and head banger stuff just won''t do in the dark! Music isn't just the noise as it's become but something to feel in the soul. Try that with most of whats coming out. Oh it can't as there IS no soul to it!

One of the best pure music videos ever. No fancy effects; no over the top wardrobes or sideshows. Just 3 singers in black and white singing a great song with great lyrics and having a blast doing it.
If my wife were sitting here, her words would be simple: "I love these guys!" Since it's me sitting here, I have something to say: "I love these guys!" =]

he's simply trying to strip SOME of the bargaining rights of public employees only so they cannot bleed their government and taxpayers dry while whining about having to subsidize a small amount of their benefits like so many other public employees around the country; for the record I love this song and PP&M, but not so much because the message is controversial, I just think they harmonized remarkably well together; and for all you conspiracy theorists, how come Mary comes last in the names...
You really believe that corporations would only pay you $5 a week to work for them if it weren't for unions; oh that's right, corporations find it harder to make a profit because of wieldy regulations and ridiculous tax structures laid on them by those selfsame politicians that those glorious unions push upon us; you're going to have to do better than suggest the nation would crumble into abject poverty for the common man without unions, BTW, the governor of WI is not banning unions outright,
@n2motocross - The song goes 'Hammer of Justice and Bell of Freedom'. Sorry but communists only had the hammer of oppression and the only bell they had was the ringing sound after the constant pounding of that hammer.
If you cannot fall in love with this girl - you are gay! _ I did nearly fifty years ago and she still is amazing - what a face! I can't bear to watch these latest vids of her dying years. Never will see anybody like this again.
Hard to believe that these were among the songs that were popular back then. Songs of justice, freedom, human rights and dignity. Songs against war - can you imagine songs against war being popular today when where told patriotism means following whatever the government tells us and putting a "Support Our Troops" sticker on our cars? When a governor can attempt to outlaw unions? When we support genocide of Palestinians? Today when profits are more important than people? Sing it out!
@thestoryplease This song is about communism plain and simple. I can spout my political beliefs too - I believe Palestinians are terrorists and I stand with Israel. When you say profits are more important than people, do you realize how ridiculous you sound when on the other hand you support the unions? The union heads take the dues and bribe our progressive politicians - with little regard to what the union worker wants while the corporations actually EMPLOYEE people. Wake up already.
@igglesgirl419 agree- I'm a union member simply because I don't want to have to deal with certain d.bags constantly badgering me w/ ""why ain't you in the union"? You're right -unions do what THEY want w/o regard to the wishes of the members. Shady at best.
@igglesgirl419 the cold war ended some time ago. Get over your communism phobia. Unions built the American middle class to where you and I could afford a car, family and home for honest work before Reagan, a corporate hack, started to tear it down. Yes, corporations hire people, but without unions they'll pay less and less. You want to work for $5 a week? Palestinians are fighting for their lives, their families, their homes, their orchards and farms. Wouldn't you? Support Freedom!
Social injustice you say, how about fighting the muslim extremists who have vowe to kill us? I missed out on the free love you hippies had in the sixties and today it goes for a premium price. Shucks I missed out on Woodstock too since I was drafted as walking across rice paddies in Vietnam a grunt. Oh, well that life.
Everytime I watch this video I feel passionate again about fighting against social injustice and that change is possible and worth working for. Old hippies never die, but we do get worn down.
I was listening to Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie singing this (on YouTube) and the chords weren't to my liking. Just didn't fit the song. Seeger's right in this intro. PP&M perfected "If I Had a Hammer."
Excellent all around: Peter, Paul, and Mary sing a great song beautifully with fine musicianship and stage presence, complemented by good camera work and audio recording. Thank you for uploading this video!
One thing becomes clear watching these video, todays music wouldn't make it in 1963. Some singer wore meat as a dress the other day and that how to get famous today. If that happened in 1963 it would be called a bad trip.
@oldspam Well, maybe you hear something good here and there these days, but I'm young so I at least listen out when my friends have the radio, or a new cd playing. But damn! I've been listening to Bob Dylan daily for the last 2 weeks.
I'll tell you this, I listen to Amon Amarth, Slayer, anything psychotically heavy, but give me a folk song any day, or a guitar with a piece of straw in mouth, and I"m in heaven.Great stuff and thanks for posting!
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll. Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll
RIP Mary. This song defined the 60's. Passionate love of country, liberty, fellow man. Folks nowadays are scared to state these feelings. It was revolutionary then and still is.
Love it! Great post!

It's so great that young people are hearing this music! Peter, Paul, and Mary were not just entertainers. For me and those I lived with, they were heroes..flames burning in the night to show us it's possible to create a world where the value of people around us is vastly greater than the value of the cash in our bank accounts..a world in which an injustice to the weakest among us is an injustice to all of us.
Listen to the music, DREAM, pick up the torch – there's still so much to be done!

This song works on so many levels it puts a huge smile on my face. It's a reminder just how much music has changed. What I like most about it is how ALIVE the music is. Today there are still many talented artists and great songs being written. But nowadays music is more about appearance and often slick and sterile production, while this, on the other hand, was just about great music passionately performed by a talented group. I miss the idealism, too.

@Champ1on23 You are the reason that music really sucks any more! No heart or soul to what's being passed off as somrething called music! At least when the electricity goes off I can still grab my guitar or violin and play something everyone can sing to as a group! This rap crap and head banger stuff just won''t do in the dark! Music isn't just the noise as it's become but something to feel in the soul. Try that with most of whats coming out. Oh it can't as there IS no soul to it!

he's simply trying to strip SOME of the bargaining rights of public employees only so they cannot bleed their government and taxpayers dry while whining about having to subsidize a small amount of their benefits like so many other public employees around the country; for the record I love this song and PP&M, but not so much because the message is controversial, I just think they harmonized remarkably well together; and for all you conspiracy theorists, how come Mary comes last in the names...

You really believe that corporations would only pay you $5 a week to work for them if it weren't for unions; oh that's right, corporations find it harder to make a profit because of wieldy regulations and ridiculous tax structures laid on them by those selfsame politicians that those glorious unions push upon us; you're going to have to do better than suggest the nation would crumble into abject poverty for the common man without unions, BTW, the governor of WI is not banning unions outright,

Hard to believe that these were among the songs that were popular back then. Songs of justice, freedom, human rights and dignity. Songs against war - can you imagine songs against war being popular today when where told patriotism means following whatever the government tells us and putting a "Support Our Troops" sticker on our cars? When a governor can attempt to outlaw unions? When we support genocide of Palestinians? Today when profits are more important than people? Sing it out!
thestoryplease 11 months ago
@thestoryplease This song is about communism plain and simple. I can spout my political beliefs too - I believe Palestinians are terrorists and I stand with Israel. When you say profits are more important than people, do you realize how ridiculous you sound when on the other hand you support the unions? The union heads take the dues and bribe our progressive politicians - with little regard to what the union worker wants while the corporations actually EMPLOYEE people. Wake up already.
igglesgirl419 11 months ago
@igglesgirl419 agree- I'm a union member simply because I don't want to have to deal with certain d.bags constantly badgering me w/ ""why ain't you in the union"? You're right -unions do what THEY want w/o regard to the wishes of the members. Shady at best.
DrHogfan 11 months ago
@igglesgirl419 the cold war ended some time ago. Get over your communism phobia. Unions built the American middle class to where you and I could afford a car, family and home for honest work before Reagan, a corporate hack, started to tear it down. Yes, corporations hire people, but without unions they'll pay less and less. You want to work for $5 a week? Palestinians are fighting for their lives, their families, their homes, their orchards and farms. Wouldn't you? Support Freedom!

One thing becomes clear watching these video, todays music wouldn't make it in 1963. Some singer wore meat as a dress the other day and that how to get famous today. If that happened in 1963 it would be called a bad trip.
