Puff The Magic...

Posted Aug 12th 2009 1:14AM by TMZ Staff

The 71-year-olds all resurfaced at some event, looking groovy.

Peter, Paul and Mary

In 1970, Peter Yarrow (right) was convicted for taking "immoral and improper liberties" with a 14-year-old fan. President Carter later granted him clemency.

Despite his liberal political views, Paul Stookey (left) has been very involved with the Christian music scene.

In 2005, Mary Travers was diagnosed with leukemia but is doing well.

5. Good to know they are still alive and well. I used to and still love their music.

6. Plus, is it just me or does it look like Paul and Pete Townshend were separated at birth?

8. They are really old now. But, it's ok. TIme went on, there is nothing to do against it, just accept.

9. I love them and miss their performing. Glad to see Mary is doing well despite the leukemia. My children and I love Paul's music and sense of humor. Peter keeps hanging in there. Wish they'd do a PBS or A&E or some kind of retro look back at what they have done with them appearing as they are now. Even if they are unable to sing as well I think people would love it. I saw something a few years abck like that. We need an upsdate! Love you ,Guys and Mary, too!

10. Have to agree with Eddie. That's Pete Townshend on the left - and he's only in his early 60s. So it's Pete, Mary and Peter?
