Thread Name: The Story BEHIND the song!
Subject: RE: The Story BEHIND the song!
I just had to add something to keep this thread going cuz it's one of the best I've seen. Maybe we can set a record for longest running thread.

Peter, of Peter Paul and Mary (or maybe it was Paul) (I'm sure it wasn't Mary, I'm not that out of it) (from all those years of smoking it) said (actually sang) that Puff was not about mary wanna, but rather the loss of innocence. I've always thought that Puff was a kite.

Now H.R. Puffin Stuff (a tv show, not a song) was definitely drug inspired. Come on, Puffin Stuff (imagine a big cloud of smoke billowing out everytime you say it)

I found this thread looking for who Daddy Claxton was. Think he was nobody and the wabash cannonball never rolled down any track and was merely a train of thought.
