Is there another way to say "Happy New Year"?

>


Peter, Paul and Mary (or, to be technical, Paul, Mary and Peter) -- a bunch of years later. Note that Peter, the co-writer of "Puff," has always been touchy about those rumors that the lyrics contained hidden drug references. And now this!


Ever since Noah told us the appalling story about Republicans wetting their pants over some sad soul's transformation of "Puff the Magic Dragon" into a racist giggle, I've been trying to think, What do you say to, or about, people capable of doing such a thing? Or, worse, to people who think it's funny?

I haven't come up with anything. Maybe this is one of those things where either you get it or you don't. So let's just say, Thanks, Peter, and (co-writer) Lenny, and, oh yes, Paul and Mary too!

By way of an encore, though unfortunately in audio-only form, here's the original:



Happy New Year, everyone, from everyone here at DWT! -- Ken

Thanks, all! It's great having you out there. That's kind of the point of the whole thing, after all.

Onward into '09!
