Music for a Thursday!

(The Mamas & The Papas 1965-1968-Photo Art.com)

They were from Los Angeles, California and in many ways they were a defining force for the counter-culture of the 1960’s. That might seem a trifle naïve in this day and age, after we have seen the result and many other changes as well. But what was happening in the 60’s was unique, spiritual, material, real, and original. It served as the catalyst that launched us towards this strange world we live in. However, the great music, rock/folk/country/Latin, was the best ever, surpassed only by the 70’s but then a steady downward spiral took over music in most of the world, lamentably…

The Mamas & The Papas had many hit songs. One of my faves is «I Saw Her Again», but here are many for you to enjoy all day if you choose…

Cass Elliot, known as Mama Cass, died first in 1974… Papa John Phillips died in 2001… Denny Doherty died in 2007… Michelle Phillips, born in 1944 is still with us…

    Times so different from today they might as well be retrieved from another galaxy. Not that there were NOT difficulties and immense dislikes held one fragment of society against another, but somehow there was amidst that contention, a civility, akin to the rules of the Marquis of Queensbury. By comparison today differences foster violent hatred and inhuman regard one sect against another. What I find most distressful is that today, is…. Ah, never mind. No one is listening anyway.

    1. I’m always ready to lend you an ear my friend. And you are right. The key word is intolerance. Today there is intolerance in an implacable form and therefore the hatred and the unacceptance of anything that comes from the «other side.» Communism has infiltrated and the immoral ones are now our equals…
