You Are What You Eat (1968) is one of those films where the soundtrack album is a thousand times better (and more common) than the movie itself.

I got to meet Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary in Flint, Michigan at a Summer Music Festival. I got to share with him my lifelong love of their music. I told him how every year, in my Kindergarten class, I would share Puff the Magic Dragon with my friends. He thanked me and gave me a kiss on the cheek!!

♫ Day Is Done ♫
When I think of Peter, Paul & Mary, this is not the first song that comes to mind, but it is one that was quite relevant back in its day. Released in 1969, Day Is Done was written by Peter Yarrow as an anti-war protest song of the Vietnam War era. It was also the last single the group would ever record together — (their next single Leaving on a Jet Plane released later that year was recorded…

Lecture 6: Folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary perform “If I Had a Hammer” (1963), a beloved song of the folk music revival. Originally written in 1949 by Pete Seeger and Lee Hays of The Weavers, the song was performed over and over by various singers, most notably Trini Lopez, Sam Cooke, Johnny Rivers, Aretha Franklin, The Four Tops and - drum roll please - Leonard Nimoy! Peter, Paul and Mary – a folk trio formed in 1961 in New York City – consisted of Peter Yarrow (1938- ), Paul Stookey (1937- ), and Mary Travers (1936-2009). All three actively supported such causes as the Anti-Vietnam War Movement, organized labour, and antinuclear campaigns.

Here's a song by Peter Yarrow Flowers
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings, and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff

Probably all of us who have ever loved and adored Bob [Dylan], who have been inspired by him and who have followed his leadership, who have been kept spellbound by his songs, who have had the good fortune to get close enough to him to dote on him and sit at his feet, we all have known that, on a personal level, Bob can be about as rational as a big baby and ten times as demanding. But he is our big baby. To a certain extent, I feel the same way about my own one-year-old grandson. I'll do anything I can to keep my grandson happy.
I've been told by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary that he had to teach Bob to brush his teeth and clean his fingernails when Bob was 22. The people up in Cambridge claimed Bob's teeth were still green when he first showed up there looking for a gig in the early '60s. All along the way, people have mothered and fathered and babied Bob for many reasons, not the least of which has been Bob's innate ability to charm the birds out of the trees.
- Al Aronowitz, George at Bobfest, 1992
