Dirty hippy chick Mary Travers, who interrupted the Peter and Paul sausage fest on such folk nonsense as If I Had a Hammer, Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, and Leavin’ on a Jet Plane, has died of complications from leukemia treatment at the age of 72. The trio tempered Bob Dylan’s raw protest anthems Blowin’ in the Wind and Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right into more palatable pap, while trying to subvert America’s youth with their dope tribute to Puff the Magic Dragon and little Jackie Paper. Unlike many other groups that loved America, Peter, Paul and especially Mary were dedicated to its violent overthrow, with outspoken support for the civil-rights and antiwar movements, and performances at the 1963 March on Washington and the voting-rights marches from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., in 1965.
