WAS HE THE PERVERT OR WAS IT YARROW?
Peter Yarrow: Convicted sex offender who admitted molesting a 14-year-old girl.
“A 14-year-old girl and her 17-year-old sister went to Yarrow’s hotel room in Washington, DC, in 1970 seeking an autograph, it was reported at the time. Yarrow, then about 32, answered the door naked. He made sexual advances that stopped short of intercourse.”
You know, I’d forgotten that little episode. It was Peter Yarrow who was pardoned for it by ... Jimmy Carter.

Maybe it was the one who wrote THE CANDY BAR BLUES.
Lyrics
Bought a candy bar the other day,
Only ate half, s’gonna throw the rest away
When I saw this kid playin’ in the street,
I said “Hey kid, you want somethin’ to eat?”
He said “Whut?”
I said “Candy, son.” He said “HELP!”
Then he started to run,
And I stood there,
Watchin’ him go,
Half a bar of chocolate
Runnin’ down my fingers.
Well the kid comes back in a minute or two
But his mom’s with him and the neighbors too,
And they got the kid scared it’s plain to see,
They say “Which one done it?” he points at me.
****
Well some start pickin’ up baseball bats
And the others are pullin’ the pins from their hats -
“I think this thing’s gone a little too far,
Hell, I only offered him a CANDY BAR!” I said “WAIT!”
I said “What are you doin’?”
They said “PRE-VERT the kid’s life is ruined!”
“Oh... oh well then you better check what he’s chewin’
‘Cause I got the feelin’
He’s in the middle of a bubble gum orgy!”
No,Peter was the perv.
