Yarrow, who also co-wrote the group’s most enduring song, “Puff the Magic Dragon,” died Tuesday in New York, publicist Ken Sunshine said. Yarrow had bladder cancer for the past four years.
 
Regardless of its original intent, Puff The Magic Dragon became an icon of the 60's drug culture.
 
It was a childhood favorite of mine and many kids. Too bad it was attributed to the drug scene.
 
It was one of those songs played to death on the radio until you switched the dial when it came on. My elementary school teacher played it a lot.
But it will be one of my favorites and even today will get kids singing along.
