I think the anger and hate I read in these reviews is very telling. When people get angry over the meaning of a song we are doomed as a people. Just makes me sad, I think I will slip into my cave.

    ------ About the song HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS performed by Peter, Paul & Mary

I was very young when I first heard this song in 1995 on an Aduly Contemporary station. It used to make me cry and helped put a lot of things into perspective as I was just realising that I was gay. It was the most non-judgemental and comforting love song about gay couples I'd ever come across then. The soothing and thick-ish voices of Mary Travers and Holly Near give the song a bittersweet wistfulness that really drives the message home. The fact that it's a female duet is just too awesome for words. I used picture myself in my own Deb and Tricia situation in the future, and I always hoped that Martin got his life back eventually.

Ultimately it's a timeless tale about acceptance and tolerance, and understanding that at the end of the day, we're all looking for love and a place to belong - no matter how or who we happen to find them with. An ethical lesson that society unfortunately does'nt teach young people enough. Thank God for folk music!

An "LGBTQ" classic and "Best of"

I've heard it where puff is left but then Jackie brings his kids back. I heard it at a church camp and it doesn't really share the later lyrics. Does anyone know where to find other versions? It was my favorite camp song.

Personally I just always like the song. I have only vague memories of the cartoon, which someone mentioned it being a film. I could've sworn it was a series, I am gonna check that on wikipedia later. Anyway if this song is not about drugs then it's not about drugs & people should shut up about it. I mean I can understand why the guy who wrote the song is doing his bean, spitin his dummy out, lol over the people who just won't listen no matter how many times they're told. BUT I kinda like the comment somene elss it all being down wrote. About it all being down to the individual interpretation of the observer or listener in this case. It's art & thats how it should be. It's almost a shame really this poor guy felt the need to spell it out that the drugs angle was so wrong. Like I said I can understand why he did, but it would've been good if he could've left it open to interpretation & just kept everyone guessing.

    ------ About the song DON'T LAUGH AT ME performed by Peter, Paul & Mary

I travel the country helping students to stand up, don't stand by when someone is being unfairly hurt. A major issue is making fun of some one's appearance. This song really helps me talk to the students about their need to like the way they look.

What idiots still think this song is about drugs? Peter stated many years ago and on many occasions that it was a song about growing up. You probably also think the world is run by shape shifting lizards and the CIA bombed the Twin Towers! Idiot.

    ------ About the song PUFF, THE MAGIC DRAGON performed by Peter, Paul & Mary

Personally, I choose to believe that the song speaks of a child losing his innocence as he grew. It would be a beautiful story. A sad, but wonderful description of leaving childhood behind. Kinda reminds me of "Toy Story 2" without the happy ending.

Maybe if you looked at it another way, it could be about drugs. Those who do perfectly demonstrate the song's innocent meaning, I believe. Personally, I think it's better to not look at it that critically. Isn't the song better if one simply takes it at the face meaning? I doubt the kids will really connect the song to drugs when they hear it, so why not. Maybe if it wasn't a kid's song, then I might be convinced but since it is...well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
