We bathe together quite frequently (ok, I put on their music while I'm in the bath!!) it's on my ipod and phone and Pandora and the first music I usually head for...straight shooter and creeque (which I have heard John pronounce "marejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903554421867897659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-55396542591277588872010-10-03T00:03:11.776-04:002010-10-03T00:03:11.776-04:00Welcome to the blog, Brian.

I read about all the influences in the M&P's lives and the song says it all. It really touches me in a way that Warhol's Factory stories did also—groups of artistic people finding each other at a special time and place. I don't think I've ever found that myself, but I'm a solitary person.Casey Shainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654097774209894695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-19631603411493182892010-10-02T13:28:56.290-04:002010-10-02T13:28:56.290-04:00I was 17 when the Mamas and the Papas hit big and ...I was 17 when the Mamas and the Papas hit big and I LOVED them! We didn't have acres of woodland but when I was home alone I'd put their records (!) on the stereo (!) and sing along. They didn't really influence my wardrobe -- I was a pretty uptight closted teen -- but they certainly set me to California dreamin'!

I love the Mamas & the Papas. To bad Cass Elliot died so young - it would have been interesting to see how the group evolved through the rest of the 70's.
