Peter, Paul and Mary arrived on the scene in Greenwich Village in the early 1960's and at the time, for the majority of America, folk was viewed merely as a sidebar to pop music. The nation was still recovering from the McCarthy era and the Cold War was heating up. Peter Yarrow, Noel (Paul) Stookey and Mary Travers came together to reclaim folk's potency as a social, cultural and political force. The Trio lived their songs. They sang at the 1963 March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech, they participated in the Selma to Montgomery March, they sang at countless anti-Vietnam War rallies and they launched decades of musical activism. These individual and collective efforts addressed a wide range of issues from women's rights, to farm-worker rights, to gay rights, to the environment and education. No American folk group lasted longer or amassed a more loyal following than Peter, Paul and Mary. During their legendary career, the trio won five Grammy® Awards, produced 13 top 40 hits of which six ascended into the top 10, and earned eight gold and five platinum albums. The loss of Mary Travers in September of 2009 was a loss to her family, friends and the nation. She fought leukemia and its consequent illnesses with an inspiring strength. Her life and legacy remain a great American treasure. When Peter and Noel perform together, audiences comment that in many ways it feels as if Mary were still on the stage with them. The energy and enthusiasm for the music has not diminished, in fact it seems ever more impassioned, and frequently the audience steps in to sing Mary's part, their voices strong, their hearts full. It's community at its best and what folk music is all about carrying it on, just as Mary would have wanted.

“Our Silence Buys the Battles”: the Role of Protest Music in the U.S.-Central American Peace and Solidarity Movement
“Our Silence Buys the Battles”: The Role of Protest Music in the U.S.-Central American Peace and Solidarity Movement CARA E. PALMER “No más! No more!” “No más! No more!” Shout the hills of Salvador Shout the hills of Salvador Echo the mountains of Virginia In Guatemala, Nicaragua We cry out “No más! No more!” We cry out “No más! No more!”1 In the 1980s, folk singer John McCutcheon implored his fellow U.S. citizens to stand in solidarity with Central Americans in countries facing United States (U.S.) intervention. Combining both English and Spanish words, his song “No Más!” exemplifies the emphasis on solidarity that characterized the dozens of protest songs created in connection with the U.S.-Central American Peace and Solidarity Movement (CAPSM).2 McCutcheon’s song declared to listeners that without their active opposition, the U.S. government would continue to sponsor violence for profit. McCutcheon sang, “Our silence buys the battles, let us cry, ‘No más! No more!,’” urging listeners to voice their disapproval of the Reagan administration’s foreign policies, because remaining silent would result in dire consequences. One hundred thousand U.S. citizens mobilized in the 1980s to protest U.S. foreign policy toward Central America. They pressured Congress to end U.S. military and financial aid for the military junta in El Salvador, the military dictatorship in Guatemala, and the Contras in Nicaragua. The Reagan administration supported armed government forces in El Salvador and Guatemala in their repression of the armed leftist groups FMLN and MR-13, and the Contras in Nicaragua in their war against the successful leftist revolution led by the FSLN.

FROM “WE SHALL OVERCOME” to “FORTUNATE SON”: the EVOLVING SOUND of PROTEST an Analysis on the Changing Nature of American Protest Music During the Sixties
FROM “WE SHALL OVERCOME” TO “FORTUNATE SON”: THE EVOLVING SOUND OF PROTEST An analysis on the changing nature of American protest music during the Sixties FLORIS VAN DER LAAN S1029781 MA North American Studies Supervisor: Frank Mehring 20 Augustus 2020 Thesis k Floris van der Laan - 2 Abstract Drawing on Denisoff’s theoretical framework - based on his analysis of the magnetic and rhetorical songs of persuasion - this thesis will examine how American protest music evolved during the Sixties (1960-1969). Songs of protest in relation to the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War gave a sound to the sociopolitical zeitgeist, critically addressing matters that were present throughout this decade. From the gentle sounds of folk to the dazzling melodies of rock, protest music became an essential cultural medium that inspired forms of collective thought. Ideas of critique and feelings of dissent were uniquely captured in protest songs, creating this intrinsic correlation between politics, music, and protest. Still, a clear changing nature can be identified whilst scrutinizing the musical phases and genres – specifically folk and rock - the Sixties went through. By taking a closer look on the cultural artifacts of protest songs, this work will try to demonstrate how American songs of protest developed during this decade, often affected by sociopolitical factors. From Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” to The Doors’ “The Unknown Soldier”, and from “Eve of Destruction” by Barry McGuire to “Superbird” by Country Joe and The Fish, a thorough analysis of protest music will be provided. On the basis of lyrics, melodies, and live performances, this thesis will discuss how protest songs reflected the mood of the times, and provided an ever-evolving destabilizing force that continuously adjusted to its social and political surroundings.

PHOENIX HOUSE FOUNDATION ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The
PHOENIX HOUSE FOUNDATION ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The Reminiscences of Jerry Taylor Columbia Center for Oral History Columbia University 2014 PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Gerald “Jerry” Taylor conducted by Lance Thurner on September 23, 2014. This interview is part of the Phoenix House Foundation Oral History Project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. Audio Transcription Center Session #1 Interviewee: Jerry Taylor Location: New York, New York Interviewer: Lance Thurner Date: September 23, 2014 Q: This is Lance Thurner and I’m interviewing Jerry Taylor here in the offices of Lippe and Taylor— Taylor: Lippe Taylor. Q: Lippe Taylor, on Park Avenue in Downtown Manhattan, and it’s September 23rd, about mid- day, and this is for the Phoenix House oral history project. Jerry, would you just say hello? Taylor: Hello, everyone! Q: OK. So, Jerry, I’d like to begin this interview as a life history interview, just talking a little bit about your childhood and your growing up, and kind of taking a long view of how you became involved with Phoenix House. So, can we just start a little bit with when, where were you born, and a little bit about your childhood? Taylor: Sure. I was born in Los Angeles in 1935. Grew up there, went to Fairfax High School. As a matter of fact, after I graduated college, I worked for a magazine called Coast, which was owned by Jeff Nathanson, who is now a Phoenix House board member on the West Coast, a little coincidence there.

The Uneven Heart
Chapter 10 The Uneven Heart BOB DYLAN THE MUSICIAN T IS EASY to be seduced by Dylan’s lyrics: they were essential when he was nominated for ‘Voice of a Generation’, and they stuck in the fans’ throats I when he converted to Christianity. Equally easy is it to question his mu- sical abilities: ‘He can’t sing’, ‘he can’t play the harmonica’, ‘he only knows three guitar chords’, ‘his lyrics are good, but I can’t stand the voice’. Et cetera … et cetera … But what if it’s first and foremost the music that has captured one’s atten- tion? Or put differently: if one is of the opinion that what is said cannot meaningfully be separated from how it is said? (this is a more unproblematic premise in painting, where how something is painted is usually considered more important than what the painting is of). In this article, I argue that what is most appealing about Dylan’s art and what creates the impression that what he does and says is significant, is the sense of a direct address as an expression of a life and a pulse, and that this aspect of his work first and foremost comes to expression through musical means, and not through the lyrics, because the meaning of a song is not primarily textual but musical, in a fundamental sense: it is based on the conflation of a sound and a set of meaningful associations. This theme may be introduced through two examples. My very first en- counter with Dylan’s music was not through Dylan himself, but through Peter, Paul and Mary, in a clip which I have later identified as a performance from the Newport festival, taken from the documentary Festival (1967).
