Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched
Noel Paul StookeyGUEST
Well, yes.
Noel Paul StookeyGUEST
And I have to admit a lack of courage following the creation of the wedding song because The search for the wedding song began with my partner, Peter Yarrow, asking me if I would bless his wedding with a song.
Noel Paul StookeyGUEST
Those were his words.
Noel Paul StookeyGUEST
I mean, I had gone through a spiritual experience recently that he was aware of, but I knew that I was not authorized to dispense blessings, as I've said in concert from time to time.

The magic dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Adderley.
A. S. AubreyGUEST
Yay.
A. S. AubreyGUEST
And many thanks to Peter Yarrow, right, who wrote that.
A. S. AubreyGUEST
May he rest in peace.
Eric GreenbergGUEST
Oh, no. Yeah.
Eric GreenbergGUEST
It was it was Peter Yarrow that invited Dylan and invited Grossman to come up to Woodstock in 70.
Eric GreenbergGUEST
No, in 60, early 63.
Scott ParkerHOST
Yeah.
Eric GreenbergGUEST
And Albert fell in love with Woodstock and bought Striebel property, bought the Striebel estate.
Eric GreenbergGUEST
Yep.
Eric GreenbergGUEST
Anyway, so we got Peter Yarrow to thank for moving Albert to Woodstock and Albert to thank for bringing Dylan up.
Eric GreenbergGUEST
It might not have been a Woodstock festival if it wasn't for Peter Yarrow.
Joe LauroGUEST
Th- th- there's also great moments that you don't really notice 'cause you're so focused on Bob.
Joe LauroGUEST
But if you look, like, on the left corner of the screen, you see Peter Yarrow with a pile of cables-
Robert GordonGUEST
Yeah
Joe LauroGUEST
... trying to unravel them during the whole thing.
TJ2PANELIST
Some booed, some cried, some yelled, "Take it off," but most just sat silently in a state of shock, sucking on crumpled beer cups.
TJ2PANELIST
I was expecting God to open the heavens with His wrath, but instead Peter Yarrow embarrassingly brought Dylan back, and he obligingly played two encores alone on an acoustic guitar, the band apparently having been slaughtered beneath the diamond stage by unforgiving Dylan-tots.
TJ2PANELIST
[laughs] So again, really, really biting, really satirical, quite humorous the way he went about it.
TJ2PANELIST
But the point is that he was willing, when Bob did some stuff that alienated all the folkies, and they were upset with him and disowning him, is that he stood up and said, "No, he's not the problem.

I was expecting God to open the heavens with His wrath, but instead, Peter Yarrow embarrassingly brought Dylan back, and he obligingly played two encores alone on an acoustic guitar, the band apparently having been slaughtered beneath the diamond stage by unforgiving Dylan-tines." So again, really, really biting, really satirical, quite humorous the way he went about it.
TJ2HOST
But the point is that he was willing, when Bob did some stuff that alienated all the folkies, and they were upset with him and disowning him, is that he stood up and said, "No, he's not the problem, you people are." So he was, you know, willing to, to stand up and, and defend an, an artist doing what he felt like an artist should do if they wanted to.
TJ2HOST
So from what I've read, Bob's demeanor and attitude may have changed in general, and it really did towards Phil.
MickHOST
And the song itself is one that you can sing to them.
MickHOST
Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul and Mary.
MickHOST
Oh, okay.
MickHOST
It's written by Peter Yarrow, based on a poem by Peter Lipton.
MickHOST
I think he was a student at Harvard.
MickHOST
It deals...

MickHOST
Absolutely.
