Just passed, age 86. Part of my intro to folk music and Dylan. They did some great stuff, and no, I don't mean Puff The Magic Dragon.

Puff the Magic Dragon is a classic.
My parents went to school with Paul and I remember seeing PP&M as a kid on one of their reunion tours in the 70's.
Side note: Peter didn't withstand the "underage sex" part of 60's stardom.

RIP. 86 is a good age at least.

I saw him in concert for the first and only time just about 18 months ago. He was clearly in failing health; frail and trembling, but he was in good spirits and his sense of humor was fully intact. Interestingly, all of his politically-tinged commentary that night was very much in the non-partisan, "heal the divide" spirit. At one point, I bust out laughing when he said, "If you're talking to someone you disagree with, just give them a hug and a big ol' sloppy kiss right on the mouth."
