R.I.P. - Mary Travers


One gray night it happened, Mary Travers sang no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

Damn.

What a shame.

Thanks for posting this, Rob; I hadn't heard.

Some might view Mary Travers as the antithesis of "a patriotic American." They'd be wrong.

It doesn't matter if one is politically "Left" or "Right." What matters is intent.

It seems to me that the "intent" of a group like Peter, Paul, and Mary was always to stand up for their ideals present America as a nation striving to be better and a People striving to do right and get by - to live and to love.

I don't know Rob... probably this is the last thing you'd expect - a blog post by your Right Wing buddy Bill lauding Mary Travers, but here we are.

A little piece of America's ideals just died. And that makes me sad.

Thanks for the nice comment, Bill. This news made me very sad this morning. Sadder than I would have thought.
