If one is going to have any Peter, Paul, and Mary album on vinyl, or any album at all for that matter, it should be (Live) In Concert. I had it on vinyl when I was a kid. Even after all these years I can listen to 500 Miles and Le Déserteur over and over.

wrote in his Substack article today that this song deeply affected him back when he was protesting the Vietnam War.

1st comment under YouTube posting was from Jabar contemporary who had filled out paperwork voluntarily signing up for Marines but paused for 3 days, then didn’t, after hearing song.

Jabar notes that PP&M marched in 1963 w/ blacks protesting, threats after that leading Mary to fear assassination at PP&M concerts.

I guess it dates me that I originally thought of it as a song. It seems the association of the tune depends on how old you were when you first heard it.

For clarification: My parody was more about how so many folks are leaving Twitter for Mastodon, and NOT that I wanted the Twitter folks to leave here.

EDIT: I changed the line "When will they all just leave?" to "When will Elon ever learn?" which is more clear in it's meaning.

Thoughts from the past.

All the pilots going to Vietnam would buy these massive reel to reels, They would play the records they could rent from the base library, and collect these enormous personal reel to reel libraries. After Dad came back, we ignored the classical reels and largely played a reel that had: Kingston Trio, Peter Paul and Mary, and then Johnny Cash.

A dragon lives forever
but not so little boys
Painted wings & giant's rings
make way for other toys
One gray night it happened
Jackie Paper came no more
& Puff that mighty dragon
He ceased his fearless roar
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
sadly slipped into his cave
Leonard Lipton

first verse:

I dig rock and roll music, and to love to get the chance to play (and sing it)
I figure it's about the happiest sound goin' down today
The message may not move me
Or mean a great deal to me
But hey, it feels so groovy to say

Never really listened to these lyrics.

(last verse)

I dig, oh-oh, rock and roll music
I could really get it on in that scene
I think I could say somethin' if you know what I mean
But if I really say it, the radio won't play it
Unless I lay it between the lines
