'Scott McKenzie has died in Los Angeles at the age of 73.

‘If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear a flower in your hair’ is one of the great hippy songs of its era and defined San Francisco in the 60s.

Scott was born Philip Blondheim on 10 January, 1939. He died on Saturday in Los Angeles after two weeks in hospital.'

that Phillip’s daughter, TV star Mackenzie, was named after him.

Should have named her either 'Blondheim' or 'Philip'.

Traitor should have died in San Francisco, like Tony Bennett, or Frank Sinatra in New York, New York.

Crap; I’ve been humming that damned song for the past 45mins. “Earworm”. Dialing-up Pink Floyd/YouTube on my 7.1 surround now to drown it out...

The only song I really hate.

Here's another: The Flower Children--Maria Strassman, 1967

Seen in the video:

Mick Jagger talking to Janis Joplin
Brian Jones
Jimi Hendrix
Michelle Phillips talking to Mama Cass

What do you think?

The Stones were there but didn’t play. Jones introduced Hendrix and Jagger was on the board of governors of the Festival.

Any idea as to what the cause of death was?

"Two weeks in hospital", looks like.
