WTF???? SanFran was fun last time we were there......... just sayin...


It's one of those generation gap things. In 1967 John Phillips (of the Mamas and the Papas) wrote and Scott Mckenzie sang a song called "San Francisco". It was released that Summer to promote the '67 Monterey Pops Festival, became an instant hit in the US, UK, and Europe, and was credited with bringing thousands of young counterculturists to SF. Unfortunately, 4 months later I was in the Army and didn't manage to make it there until I came back from Vietnam and was discharged at the Oakland Army Terminal in '70. But I DID make Woodstock on my way TO Vietnam, my parents lived about 80 miles from White Lake (no, Woodstock wasn't AT Woodstock). The first words of "San Francoisco" were "If you're going to San Francisco be sure to wear some flowers in your hair". Damn, Evil, you've got a Hell of a memory. You were what, 3 years old then?

My oldest sister (who was about as close to a flower child as you could get growing up in a strict Mormon family in Idaho) played that record over and over again until it wore out.
