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.

the same people condemning America's intervention in Vietnam war didnt condemned communism. To sad that a beautiful and moral protest for the peace was in fact a lie, partialized
Obama 2012? Really? He's as big a warmonger as W ever was. More, because he's the one who started the policy of lethal Predator strikes against terrorist leaders instead of capturing them.
now these people knew wut they were talking about, i wish people like this still wrote music. and to give all you adults out there who think us 14 year olds only listen to bieber and JZ some hope, my friends and i acually have taste in music.
August 28, 1963 I was at that historic event when Martin Luther King Jr. gave that historic speech, I Have a Dream, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. There were over 250,000 people there and I was present at this rally also. I saw Peter, Paul, and Mary at both of these events.R.I.P. Mary Travis...
@MrWelsluth The difference between America and those countries you mentioned, is... In America people are free to disagree with the govmnt EVEN if that govmnt is right.
I think Libian people should have the same freedom too.
I was at this protest in 1971. I remember seeing the secret service machine guns pointed at our heads from the white house (I think there were 3 milatery style machine guns having 3 people a piece man them). I loved PP&M. I really was inspired to get good on the guitar by them. After their concerts they would talk to the kids outside. I support Pres Bush and his invasion of Iraq and Afgan. Because of him all those nations are trying to turn democratic.
having watched this video, it does make me truly believe that it was the spirit of the 'hippies' that made the USofA survive the cold war and come out alive. also, in relevance to today's war, how many people in the USofA know why bin Ladin attacked the Twin Towers? do u, or can u, honestly believe he didn't have a good motive? and, no, sorry, it wasn't simply hate. it is the killing of palestianians by the isrealis that is behind bin Ladin's attack. and of course, the USofA's support of isreal.
This video shows exactly how passionatly the youth were in the past to adamantly gather and protest war. We Have been war with Iraq and Afganastan for almost ten years now. Where are the protests now. Back then was was unacceptable...today it's just another way of life...we accept it.
@ziggmon8861 I totally agree with you. But we had alot of teenagers getting arrested down here for spray painting on walls saying "END WAR NOW". And when the Prop 8 thing was going on. The teenagers were getting in HUGE trouble for smashing up peoples cars that had YES ON 8 stickers on them. But i know what you mean. We need more of them like in the 60's and 70's.
Nobody wants peace more urgently than a soldier or marine. Did anybody notice how respectful PPM are towards the veterans, the war dead, and even President Nixon? ((They said Mr. Nixon, not just Nixon.)) Their gentle, clear voices and consistent adherence to treating everyone with dignity and respect amplified their truths far beyond any shouting or violence. That is why we still admire them forty years later. American protest at its best. ((Btw, I am an Army veteran as well))
Yes, RIP Mary, a beautiful woman in so many, many ways. I wonder if Tom Hanks got the idea for the Washington DC scene with Gump and Jenny from this event? The chords are F tonic I- Bb IV subdominant- C the fifth dominant- Dm minor sixth. Robin Wright Penn did a parody of Blown in the Wind as Jenny Gump. That is some humor and I hope it does not upset anyone. I am thinking of covering this tune at an open mic night.
@margi52able No draft, that's why you don't see people in droves protesting. It seems people think its ok if they're volunteers. Reinact the draft and see how fast this happens again! I'm not crazy about the current war, I understand trying to root out terrorism but its far to large not unlike the drug war to ever how to squash. RIP Mary, we miss you very much.
I LOVE YOU, PETER PAUL AND MARY!!!!!!!!! and your stand for freedom and civil rights just makes me love you guys even more, not only for your artistry but for your bravery for standing up for freedom and justice!
I turn 50 later this year...I remember watching TV every night hoping my older brother's number didn't get called on the draft....I remember my parents taking all 6of us little ones on civil rights marches and being the only white faces in a sea of darker skin...so many years later, my nieces and nephews were born in So. Korea, Mexico, Honduras, and integrated america....and PP&M helped get us there...holy shit -looked up - was that JOhn Denver???? OMG! love this video! wookie -
Tears come to my eyes everytime I hear this song. Thanks for being our voice and theirs. Those who gave the ultimate gift a human can give, their life, in order that someone else can have a better life.
@Ishhkabibble Watch the documentary "The Fog of War". Robert McNamara (Sec'try of State?) admitted Vietnam was a mistake. Sailors on a ship in the Gulf of Tonkin took blips rushing toward the ship as torpedoes, actually they were dolphins...yes that is how the VietNam war started, and the war-mongering industries and the govt not wanting to admit they were wrong kept it going. In WWII we had a real enemy who was the aggressor trying to destroy us, like radical Muslims today and 9/11
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Ariverflowing I was against the war, too. What bothers me about them is their blind love & devotion for the American negroe. A race of ugly inferior criminals who, thanks to THEM, have corrupted the entire fabric of this country. Not to mention, they hate the whites for trying to help them! And in a very dangerous way. Why you ask…? Because clowns like THESE bent over backwards in order to teach them that their inherent inferiority and inability to compete is not their fault. It’s YOURS.
@Ishhkabibble I considered removing your comment, but decided to leave it as evidence to the people who think racism no longer exists in this country. The only thing ugly, inferior and corrupting in this country are the ignoramuses such as yourself that actually believe this drivel.
@Ishhkabibble If you really read all their lyrics you can find no evidence of racism. Search you tube "Don't laugh at me peter paul and mary" and listen.......I mean really listen, You might be surprised. There's also lots of "covers" of the same song and lyrics can also be found in youtube and online. The song is called "Don't laugh at me"
@Ishhkabibble The sexual revolution (sex with whomever even in marriage) killed the American family which killed America, not blacks getting their freedom. No matter how angry we are because of slavery or corrupt some of us are, your argument would better be sided if you left out comments that we as a race, which God created, are 'inferior'. I could even side that we are angry, and will continue to be until that history is cleaned up meaning it's like it never ended to some blacks.
WOW! You fellers are sure as hell sorting it out! I'm sorta new to this internet machine so bare with me. Darwin, hell I thaught we were 98% related to cows? GOD? He may not be what you learned in Sunday school, but he IS there! I know, you heathens speak, all I can say is what I learned from experience!
If religion is the cause of war, then explain why chimps have wars with neighboring clans. Chimps dont have religion, never has been any documentation of them making idols and or praying, even though chimps can make tools, learn sign, and live in structured families.
btw, you need some music in your homepage, can take from mine.
@hemet92544 To add onto that, people are different. We all have different religious beliefs, different beliefs on politics, on other things and what not.
People have to stand up and put their differences to the side, because there's also a lot we all have in common. I care less about someone's religious beliefs and more about their empathy, charity, and kindness.
The Democrats and Republicans in America have both been war-hungry. People need to put aside their politics and rebel and gather.
@andyx1205 , King Kong might be your Uncle, but not mine. and tell me Andy, why is it that chimps, as soon as they are adults, no matter if raised by humans as a baby, can and do turn violent for no reason towards humans. and dont say something ignorant like, well they are just not as formed as humans. no no no, they share 97 percent of us, so try another answer.
@hemet92544 Because they have different DNA and genetics, duh. We share 50% of our DNA with bananas, it doesn't mean we are 50% alike. The scientific consensus amongst Scientists, and even the Bishops of Oxford and Catholic Church, is that evolution is a fact.
I can't convince you over the internet. I suggest Richard Dawkin's "The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution " or Ken Miller's "Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution"
@andyx1205 , you totally skipped the main part of the Q. try again........why is it that chimps, as soon as they are adults, no matter if raised by humans as a baby, can and do turn violent for no reason towards humans.
@andyx1205 Richard Dawkin??? so you are proud of believing your dead and never get past this body death after dying? and even spend time gloating over it in these forums? why would anyone be so happy over being dead in the ground and that is it. I would find other things to do, like smoke big bowls, booze, parties, etc.
@hemet92544 There's a reason I gave TWO suggest readings. One was Richard Dawkins, a biologist at Oxford, and since I assumed you would be uncomfortable reading him, I ALSO suggested Ken Miller's "Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution". Ken Miller is a practicing Catholic, but also a scientist.
It doesn't matter what I'm PROUD of, what matters is the truth. I'm not preaching anything, I'm simply stating that evolution is a fact.
@hemet92544 Once again, if you do not wish to invest time in researching and reading Ken Miller's book, which shows how one can believe in God and evolution (I don't believe in God but I recommend Ken Miller to Christians, because he is a practicing Christian and I respect him), I suggest simply searching Ken Miller in youtube and watching his lecture.
Btw, I live in Canada and I do smoke a lot of weed, while going to college and working. I'm happy with my life, this is all we've got.
@andyx1205 says...Ken Miller to Christians, because he is a practicing Christian. Stop calling Catholics "Christians". haven't you ever heard of Martin Luther? that was 500 years ago, Catholics can call themselves anything they want, but idol worship is idol worship, cult. and you call yourself evolved.
Evolutionist believe we humans evolved from chimps. Pretty much all war protesters are liberal: atheist, agnostic, etc. and wars with humans has been going on for thousands of years, so much so not even ONE century has gone by with no wars between humans somewhere on this planet. So then, if youre an evolutionist, hey war is just part of life, chimps do it, and we are from them, you say, so that is just the way it is. Correct? Correct.
@hemet92544 Evolved chimp is not the same animal as the one which it evolved from, Genius. Evolution is change... you are trying to make philosophycall statements but you do not see further than the end of your nose...
you got family? wife kids parents siblings? do you "love" them? oh? why? if your going to be DEAD in the ground after you die, why care? you just passing through for a few years, if lucky 90 years, which is nothing, then "BLIP", gone. why care???
@hemet92544 I don't see how anyone can deny that we are related to Chimps, evolution is as much of a fact as gravity.
Even though I'm a non-believer, I do take a different stance from more hard-liner atheists who perceive the world in a more nihilistic sense. Anyone that says that religion is the cause of all grief in this world needs to go back to school.
Whether you're a non-believer, a God-loving liberal Christian, Jew, or Muslim, we all have the capacity to take care of each-other.
RIP all victims of violence. i wish everyone could hear music about peace nad learn form it. RIP John- a victim of violence despite the facct he was a peace activist and only loved the world. remember John Lennon wrote give peace a chance and Bob Sylan wrote Blowin' in the Wind
@ryan10909 I know you got a bad rap, I was there time frame wise. But they were never anti-soldier, just anti war. I'm sorry you were hurt by what you went thru.
oh it was 1971 wow I was 14 (ninth grade) I feel like I missed all of this. We marched on Washington against the Iraqi war and there were a half a million marchers....now that was a glorious sight indeed people of all walks of life and all colors of the rainbow union workers; walking side by side with various peace organizations vie peace a chance.
Shocked me big that Mary died. I wish I could of seen them live and been living during the decade of the peace movement. Forever all these musicians messages will live on, wiether or not we all take them to heart. RIP Mary.
PP&M are still the best. We'll miss you, Mary, but your legacy will live forever. You were a voice of reason and hope in a tough time. RIP and thank you.
She was an august presence and an important one at peace and justice gatherings. I was there at this rally and remember mainly the "Give peace a Chance" joined by the assembled multitude. i remember her saying how the band fled dallas just post JFK shooting, thinking the city might go up in smoke.
I grew up with PPM and their great music on our records, 8 tracks and listening to them in the car. Such happy memories and a beautiful woman who sang her beautiful voice and fought for freedom and justice. RIP Mary
This is amazing. My life is on You Tube. I was out in that crowd. I drove down to Washington from Long Island to be there that weekend.... Philip L. Gangi
Mary, your voice was strong and beautiful, and you used it to ask all of us to love each other and live in peace with each other -- well done, lady. My condolences to your family and friends - the rest of us will always have your music. Thank you, Mary.
Thank you Mary, for your great heart, your unforgettable songs, and your good works. I was there in 1971, a couple of blocks away, in a building under construction, which I had climbed to get a better view. From my vantage point, you guys were as tiny as ants, but I could plainly hear your amplified voices, and you filled me with hope about the possibility of change. Despite 38 years and some setbacks, I still believe in it! I'm working for healthcare reform and a strong public option!
Do you remember where you were when JFK was shot, when Bobby was shot, When Martin was gunned down?
Do you remember Joan, Jonnie, Carley, John, George, Paul and Ringo?
You who think it is about hate, race and all the talking points fromthe Left try to remember these who preceeded the others mentioned at the top Lennon, Stallin, Hitler, Tojo, Mo. If thats what you want in this country, GIVE HIM the chance!
I was a mere child in grade school when this trio first sang this song .... even at that young age, this song touched my heart. In 1963 as an 8 year old, I was aware of the Civil Rights movement and the struggles of those of African descent. This song brings back memories of efforts to bring us children together back then, at look what it has produced. We have a society which has come a long way in healing,,,,,, Rest in peace sweet Mary.... We will love you forever.
I was there in 1971. Yesterday in Washington was the opposite of this. Mary Travers would have hated yesterday. Rest beautiful Mary. You brought music and light to the world. And you had a conscience. Unlike the teabaggers.
I'm sorry, but if you think the ideals of the 9/12 marchers are anything like the ideals of the peace marchers in 1971, you have a lot of reading to do.
Try 60,000. Not even close to a million. And do NOT disrespect Mary Travers by comparing the '71 Peace March to a march by rightwingers demanding Congress deny health insurance/care reform to millions of decent, hard-working Americans.
Very well said..it has been said that our Democracy works best when the pendlum swings neither left nor right but deal center..However, seems to be since the 80's era the pendlum has moved to far right of dead center
The American people must once again stand up against the ongoing rape of the constitution. I hope it's not to late, but I fear that the population is too heavily in debt without proper beliefs.
enyawestie - my condolences for your loss and the pain that has visited your life so often. we must remember, take it all very seriously every time and try to influence more humanity for everyone
One great video, for sure. That's the way it was. I was home from that war in 68, and one thing always bothered me. Didn't any of those demonstrators work? I got home, the wife and I didn't have two nickels to rub together and living with my wife's mother. I got a job and had no time for this. How did they afford to attend? Would I attend if I could? You bet.
Many of them were in college only to postpone being drafted. Even if they wanted to be an electrician or a mechanic, they had to waste 4 years in University to avoid being sent to Viet Nam. University enrollment was something like 4 times normal levels.
so i dont use complete sentences on youtube i must be an idiot. you dont have to try to show your masculinity by attacking my grammar that just means you lost. it is Vietnam its one word but its cool who am i to judge i dont live to be perfect but before you point at me make sure your hands are clean
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be offensive. Comprehension doesn't refer to your grammar and writing skills. It only means that you didn't understand (comprehend) what I wrote. That would be normal for someone that is not in the trades or crafts. Because of the Viet Nam war, too many people got degrees. Craftsmen now earn better than degreed people, because of this imbalance.
Not exactly. I am an eight grader, and in our American history class, we learn alot about the civil war, early United States history form 1700s/1800s. But they only brush lightly on the Vietman War.
That is part of the US Dept of Education's support of the Military Industrial Congressional complex. The US government is alway condemning Communist propaganda, but if you talk to Russians or Chinese people, you will be embarrassed to see how much they know about Cold War era history, and how little we Americans know. The US has the world's best PR people running our propaganda machine.
Conner- these guys were protesting against the Vietnam war, which rolled on for another 3 years after this rally.
The hippies got it.
The pentagon didnt get get it, until the last US Navy chopper took off, in defeat, from the Saigon embassy, with NVA tanks in the streets below, in 1975. Then they got it all right.
Another generation is starting to get it- dont follow leaders- they're watching parking meters.
Nah. Hippies live in ferry land. They need to open their eyes and actaully see what is giong on. The human race is flawed. If peace was as easy as not giong to war, then of course we wouldn't go. And I am sure every single one of our leaders takes that into consideration. Nobody likes war, but just because people dont like it, doesn't mean we can get rid of it. It is a good video though...
"And I am sure every single one of our leaders takes that into consideration. Nobody likes war,"
You poor deluded little fool; you need to open YOUR eyes. Defense contractors, "Unitary Executive" fascists, Dick Cheney, George Bush, "security contractor" companies, etc. all LOVE war, because they get to make a shitload of money from it, without putting their own hides on the line, exploit it for political gain, and they can always use it as an excuse to crush civil dissent in the "Homeland."
man no disrespect but that is the mindset that keeps war an "ok" thing generaton after generation. war can only go so far before we all selfdestruct, the time for change is now and really there isnt alot of time left to change but we arent on this earth to be at war killing our own human counciousness we are here to share a simple thing called love, peace
Connor I still respect your views,i know you are from a different era than me,and i just hope there wont be any more wars,we don`t sometimes have a choice,but i just pray that there will not be any more wars okay?Peace.
hahaha john denver.

If religion is the cause of war, then explain why chimps have wars with neighboring clans. Chimps dont have religion, never has been any documentation of them making idols and or praying, even though chimps can make tools, learn sign, and live in structured families.
btw, you need some music in your homepage, can take from mine.
hemet92544 1 year ago
@hemet92544 To add onto that, people are different. We all have different religious beliefs, different beliefs on politics, on other things and what not.
People have to stand up and put their differences to the side, because there's also a lot we all have in common. I care less about someone's religious beliefs and more about their empathy, charity, and kindness.
The Democrats and Republicans in America have both been war-hungry. People need to put aside their politics and rebel and gather.

@andyx1205 , King Kong might be your Uncle, but not mine. and tell me Andy, why is it that chimps, as soon as they are adults, no matter if raised by humans as a baby, can and do turn violent for no reason towards humans. and dont say something ignorant like, well they are just not as formed as humans. no no no, they share 97 percent of us, so try another answer.
hemet92544 1 year ago
@hemet92544 Because they have different DNA and genetics, duh. We share 50% of our DNA with bananas, it doesn't mean we are 50% alike. The scientific consensus amongst Scientists, and even the Bishops of Oxford and Catholic Church, is that evolution is a fact.
I can't convince you over the internet. I suggest Richard Dawkin's "The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution " or Ken Miller's "Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution"

@andyx1205 Richard Dawkin??? so you are proud of believing your dead and never get past this body death after dying? and even spend time gloating over it in these forums? why would anyone be so happy over being dead in the ground and that is it. I would find other things to do, like smoke big bowls, booze, parties, etc.
hemet92544 1 year ago
@hemet92544 There's a reason I gave TWO suggest readings. One was Richard Dawkins, a biologist at Oxford, and since I assumed you would be uncomfortable reading him, I ALSO suggested Ken Miller's "Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution". Ken Miller is a practicing Catholic, but also a scientist.
It doesn't matter what I'm PROUD of, what matters is the truth. I'm not preaching anything, I'm simply stating that evolution is a fact.

@hemet92544 Once again, if you do not wish to invest time in researching and reading Ken Miller's book, which shows how one can believe in God and evolution (I don't believe in God but I recommend Ken Miller to Christians, because he is a practicing Christian and I respect him), I suggest simply searching Ken Miller in youtube and watching his lecture.
Btw, I live in Canada and I do smoke a lot of weed, while going to college and working. I'm happy with my life, this is all we've got.

Evolutionist believe we humans evolved from chimps. Pretty much all war protesters are liberal: atheist, agnostic, etc. and wars with humans has been going on for thousands of years, so much so not even ONE century has gone by with no wars between humans somewhere on this planet. So then, if youre an evolutionist, hey war is just part of life, chimps do it, and we are from them, you say, so that is just the way it is. Correct? Correct.

hemet92544 1 year ago
@hemet92544 I don't see how anyone can deny that we are related to Chimps, evolution is as much of a fact as gravity.
Even though I'm a non-believer, I do take a different stance from more hard-liner atheists who perceive the world in a more nihilistic sense. Anyone that says that religion is the cause of all grief in this world needs to go back to school.
Whether you're a non-believer, a God-loving liberal Christian, Jew, or Muslim, we all have the capacity to take care of each-other.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be offensive. Comprehension doesn't refer to your grammar and writing skills. It only means that you didn't understand (comprehend) what I wrote. That would be normal for someone that is not in the trades or crafts. Because of the Viet Nam war, too many people got degrees. Craftsmen now earn better than degreed people, because of this imbalance.
