Paul Stookey singing The Wedding Song could just about move you to tears.

I love Peter Paul & Mary. My dad would make his own mix tapes (8 track tapes, to be specific) for road trips and he loved 60s folk, so it was a lot of Peter Paul & Mary, the Kingston Trio, Simon & Garfunkel, etc.

PP&M's harmonies sure could move you to tears. Hell, even "Puff the Magic Dragon" can make me cry, especially now that I've got a kid of my own.

That's really cool. Did you see the episode of Mad Men when the agency proposes using Joe Namath in a spot?

I think it was season 3. Anyway, the creatives were proposing using him for a Samsonite commercial and Don Draper groused that how could he be a draw; the guy hadn't done anything on the field yet. Peggy's response- "He's very handsome." Heh.
