Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

RIP Peter

A dragon lives forever,
but not so little boys...

It’s probably worth noting that Peter Yarrow was pardoned by Jimmy Carter.

Paul Stuckey spoke at a church near us a few years back.

1969 incident in which the 14-year-old and her 17-year-old sister went to his hotel seeking an autograph and he answered the door naked.

Come on, who hasn't had that happen.

Controversial 60s folk legend who wrote Puff The Magic Dragon and always denied its alleged meaning is dead at 86

There, fixed it. If he said it wasn't about drugs, it wasn't about drugs.

“best known for iconic song Puff The Magic Dragon”

Honestly, is that their “best known iconic song”? There are so many other great songs by PP&M that greatly eclipse that.

[Jim W N]

It’s pretty obvious what Puff The Magic Dragon was about.

But God bless Peter Yarrow who became a Christian and is now in Heaven, a much better place that where we are right now.

Can you imagine being in a band and having to play that tune 5,000,000 times?

[Steve_Seattle]

One of the most nauseating songs ever.

[Mathews]

Sad song, really.

[ConservativeMind]

I always liked that song.

I hope he was right with God and his loved ones are, as well.

Peter, Paul, and Mary were close friends of our across the street neighbors. One day, they were there for a summer BBQ but I was too young to appreciate meeting them. Dang.

When I was in second grade (1962), I begged my parents to get me PTMD to play on my little record player. They never got around to it, kept "forgetting" to buy it. Eventually I forgot about it.

When he was in his final days, I asked my father — age 89 — why they never would buy me that record. He said "we thought it had a pro-drug message."

I never thought they knew about that, at the time.

“Sea” was really the letter “C” which stands for “Cocaine”.

Puff the Magic Dragon — about drugs? Pshaw! Next they’ll claim that Amphetamine Annie is about drugs.

[CletusVanDamme]

Another dead pedo, then.

I immediately thought of Rush playing “Barack the Magic Negro.”

I remember My sister playing it on her guitar when I was 4 or 5 years old.

Back before she got stupid and voted for the commies and believed the J6 committee of corruption and A$$M€D!A !!! I haven’t had any contact with her since then.

Child moles for who was pardoned by Jimmy Carter.

Carter, president who pardoned a child rapist.
