 |  | |  | | Scott Mckenzie - San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers in Your Hair) | "San Francisco" was actually inspired by Scott's paranoia about the Festival's (Monterey Pop Music Festival) more...potential gi-normousness. My childhood chum (Scott Mckenzie) had this idea: 'Why don't we write a song - well, why don't you, John, write one - saying something like, "If you go to San Francisco for the Monterey Pop Festival, like, behave yourselves - let's not have a big riot up there."
So the first thing that came to mind was sort of a Grecian Olympic athlete image with the wreath on the winner's head and flowers in your hair, so I thought that would be the proper image for the song.
About 20 minutes later I'd finished it and told Scott. He and I played it for Lou (Adler) that night, we recorded it the next night, and it came out the following Monday. And just as fast, it became a worldwide hit. I mean, one week, Scott wasn't even recording and the next week he was internationally known, the High Guru of Flower Power. He's never forgiven me for that." - John Phillips (The Mamas & the Papas) less

 | | Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 12:55 PM |  | Message from... m.ororke ..that I wish to support. Hi Just a short note thanking you of your support over my recent video "In another World ". To many are prepared to take the easy option by looking the other way and not taking heed of this GLOBAL horror. The figures are truly horrendous, 1 in 6 deaths are under 15 years old, The disease is being handed on to the next generation at birth. 1 in 3 cases of AIDS is reckoned to go unnoticed by the hapless victim until it is to late. These figures are for more...full blown AIDS and DO NOT include any H.I.V. positive cases. We are all touched by this tragedy, weather we like it or not, Friend, Aunt, Uncle, Brother, Sister, the list is never-ending. If you could forward this small video to your friends perhaps WE can make a BIG difference. Do not think for one moment that this is some ego trip, my feelings do not come into it, it is just that we are all stumbling along toward a nightmare of epic proportions. It is a campaign that is very close to me, Freddie Mercury's memory will live on if we can fight this. If you wish to make a donation, no matter how small, you can through the Mercury/Phoneix Trust.

Two guys in Manhattan discovered wheeling a corpse down the street in an office chair, on their way to help him cash his unemployment cheque (check 180 dollars). People are helpful like that here in Jolly old England too, "dahn it jes warm the cockles o' me ahw'dart" ;) |  |
