Rock -n- roll shootout #4 (Gary Blanchard edition)

[DdBob]

Peter paul and Mary vs Joanna Newsom. old school folk vs new weird folk...a folk off if you will.

I'm partial to joanna but if PPand M floats your boat then that's cool too. who's back you got ?

As much as I dig a pretty girl with a harp, I kinda have to go with PP&M due to their place in American folk music history.

I prefer Peter, Paul, and Mary, but if I never hear Puff again I will be happy. Here's my favorite PPM cut:

I don't know why.... but I fucking hate Puff the Magic Dragon. The tone.... the singing.... it's like all those condescending kids shows that talk down to kids as if they have a learning disability. Even if there's subversive content in it... I don't care. That sound of that song makes my skin crawl.

I hold a soft spot for Puff since I really liked it at a young age. However, after having to work with Peter Yarrow on a pretty regular basis, I'm now soured on all things PP&M.
