[Songcraft]

John Phillips of The Mamas & The Papas wrote a song which became a hit when done by Scott McKenzie, and became one of those "hippie anthems" of that distinctive period. In this video, you can see clips of The Mamas & The Papas, as well as various other musical stars of that era.

(One of the lines in that song - "...be sure to wear some flowers in your hair..." is sort of prescient, as that seems like a good idea if you have to go to S.F. today, in order to try to somewhat mask the stench of their public poop policy!)

"San Francisco" - Scott McKenzie

That got lots of airplay on Boss Radio 93 KHJ as well as KRLA. Both stations packed 50,000 watts of power as they blasted the Southland with rock.
