My Take

Peter Yarrow was one of those rare artists whose music genuinely shaped history — not just soundtracked it. As a third of Peter, Paul and Mary, he helped turn folk music into a moral force, and songs like Puff, the Magic Dragon and If I Had a Hammer weren't just hits, they were anthems that people actually believed in. What always struck me about Peter specifically was how deeply personal his commitment to activism was — long after the folk revival faded from the charts, he kept showing up, marching, organizing, singing in school gymnasiums when he didn't have to. A Cornell-educated kid from Manhattan who genuinely lived the values he sang about. That kind of consistency over six decades is almost impossible to fake, and he never seemed to be faking it.
