Mary Travers of Peter, Paul, and Mary, passed away this week due to complications from Leukemia. She was one of the best folk-rock musicians of the time, giving the future world lots of space for other musicians of that type, including Eric Clapton, James Taylor and others. The group was also a major influence in the protesting culture of the late 60s. This put them in some controversial positions amongst certain groups at the time, but they also showed great humanity in the causes that they chose, including the Civil Rights Movement and the Anti-War Movement. In some ways, they were near the center of all that movement and it helped move the world in a lot of ways.
