1. wow, there's a blast from the past...

[ProgressiveProfessor]

2. It is safe to assume she is there in spirit

[salin]

3. certainly. The energy is great!

I *love* the live feed. Spreads this energy and message far beyond those who are able to attend.

18. I guess I need to pay more for internet connection... It doesn't play for me.

I get broken up stuff and when I try to close the browser because "Slow script may shut your system down" comes up the window will not close, it just tries to reload. Very strange page.

4. Peter was in Madison also...

and sang during the protests there. Inspiring!

[rurallib]

7. There isn't hardly a major protest or issue this group didn't back

So good to hear they are in NYC - sort of builds a bridge from the civil rights/ anti-Viet Nam era to today and the banksters.
Essentially they are protesting the same group of people for essentially the same reasons.
Go P&P - I know were Mary alive she would be there also.

20. Yup and its been over for decades. Move on. Half of Hollywood was in bed with teens then too.

[Freddie Stubbs]

25. Do you have any proof that half of Hollywood was trying to force themselves on 14 year olds?

26. I like to let people do their own homework.

11. I think there were molestation accusations at one time

against the group.

On edit more details:

Peter Yarrow was the one who pled guilty to taking 'liberties with a 14-yr-old girl' in 1970. Sorry for the link source but it's the best info I could find that was closest to a news source.

12. never heard that...

thanks for the explanation.

[Freddie Stubbs]

13. Not the entire group. Just Yarrow. He went to jail for it:

Sure, but keep him away from kids

[salin]

17. anyone else still watching? Someone just got arrested

and no one seems to know why.

[madamesilverspurs]

19. Of course they're there.

Where else would they be?

Mary's there. The spirit of this thing is part of her legacy.

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. Nice! K&R!
