“There is only one river. There is only one sea. And it flows through you, and it flows through me. There is only one people. We are one and the same. We are all one spirit. We are all one name.” - Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul, and Mary)

“When people sing together, community is created. Together we rejoice, we celebrate, we mourn and we comfort each other. Through music, we reach each others’ hearts and souls. Music allows us to find a connection. - Peter Yarrow

TW: blood, guns, crying family members, white caskets, funerals

Ironically, Peter, Paul, and Mary's reworking of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" for this 1997 PSA is my favorite of the group's songs. It even beats out "Puff, the Magic Dragon," TBH.

Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary Dies at 86

Peter Yarrow, one-third of the folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, died Jan. 7 of bladder cancer, The New York Times reports.

Yarrow was 86. His death leaves Paul Stookey as the only surviving member of the band; Mary Travers died in 2009.

Stookey remembered his former bandmate as both a “creative, irrepressible, spontaneous and musical younger brother” a “mature-beyond-his-years … older brother.

“Perhaps Peter was both of the brothers I never had and I shall deeply miss both of him,” Stookey said.

Peter, Paul and Mary’s original run ended after eight years in 1969 when Yarrow pleaded guilty to to taking “indecent liberties” with a 14-year-old girl and served three months in prison. He received a pardon from Jimmy Carter in 1981.

The trio reunited for a one-off benefit show in 1972 and again in ’78; the latter led to the group performing regularly until Travers’ death.

The group’s hits included the Yarrow-written “Puff the Magic Dragon,” “Day is Done” and “The Great Mandala” and covers of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” and John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jet Plane.”

Their success helped such next-generation artists as Arlo Guthrie find an audience “but their principles were not set aside in order to become popular,” Guthrie said.

“Even after their popularity waned and our kind of music was not as in vogue - (PPM) continued,” he wrote. “Decades after being on the top of the charts, Pater Yarrow still stood for the right stuff.“
