That one is my favorite and also Safe in my Garden.

He did that to himself. Drugs don't force you to do anything son.

@@vigo894 Unfortunately, some of us are predisposed to addiction by virtue of our genes...

Me too Cheryl Ann. Talent aside, he was a very dark soul.

It was the drugs; I knew him, as I was strung out back then ...

got a new liver so he could continue his drug use. Am I right?@@barneyronnie

talented composer, not so much as a person.

My take on John Phillips was he had a spontaneous take on life, was an adventurer and could conjure vivid images that stood the test of time. Nothing evil necessarily.

Shame Cass choked on a chicken bone . 💞

@@mikelgeren149 She had heart failure, she didn't choke on anything

@@lordgodkingbufu2158 news reports at the time said she be choked .

@@mikelgeren149 On a ham sandwich thanks to a gross assumption, so that detail from news reports wasn't right either

Mama Cass had a heart attack.

That's a hilarious memory :D

You're Dad's a smart man.

It is strange indeed.

That's funny.

Very wise! 😂

He was an addict but not necessarily evil. There's a difference. Thank you for your story.

Agreed

Yes!

Anyone putting the words 'deliciously interesting' together should immediately be slapped before completing their sentence. Be better.

I mean if you understand alcoholism it’s not like you can just stop because you get a new liver. But he probably should have chosen to drink at home.

@@ckotcher1 You are right. But you don’t take a transplant from someone

@majormal1: Reportedly, John's answer to a friend who asked, "John, what are you doing (in a bar)?" was "I'm breaking in the new liver."

That poor liver probably didn’t know what had HIT it after it was transplanted into John!

@@pyewacketpeggy8329 The 'I Dream Of Jeanie guy who also was some JR dude on Dallas whatever that was, I never watched it== Anyway he got MANY transplants & stepped ahead of those who had been waiting & waiting because the actor had alot of money. I feel sorry for those who died waiting for a transplant when you have rich bozos who buy their way to the head of the line and then abuse their donated organs. I saw a beautiful video that a wife on their wedding day had gotten the beautiful young lady to meet her new husband... Why? Because his brother had recently died and he was an organ donnor & the young lady had gotten her husband's brother's heart. The husband got to use the doctor's thing you listen to hearts with and he heard his brother's heart beating. So....there are still many wonderful folks out there. Hey! If someone can use a body part or parts of mine go for it.....why not, cause it could help save someone's life. "PEACE !"👍👻

Selling the California 'Hippie Chick' dream, it doesn't get much more epic than that.

well i would look at mama cass , then shift my eyes to the other side of the stage to michelle. to a young boy... michelle was eye candy. even today she is still hot.

Hands down cass and denny were the singers john was a bad actor and michelle was the little girl he dragged into it

Everybody copied her look. She was 16 years old... when she was first with the guy. A child herself. But many children were and are, on their own at 16. And yes, she did take custody of a small boy, severely neglected and found starving, by Michelle and Chynna. I got that story straight from Chynna Philips (from Wilson Philips) UKposts channel video. She’s talking about her childhood and is a lovely woman.

well said and i agree

Genius people often are

@@katakisLives True.

@@katakisLives very true they have tormented souls

@@selenasmith7732 yes indeed. That's the price you pay for genius it's a high price.

@@katakisLives But not all jerk's are genius

There wouldn't be a group for Cass to get her break if not for John

@@lisag18 she provided a focal point, and the lead voice. all he did was wear dumb looking hats. cass released solo albums that remain underrated.

You got that right Carolyn!

How about her Ham sandwich?

Papa Denny Doherty was an excellent singer too. Michelle was just for show.

being talented has nothing to do with being nice...

Did you personally know him? Judgemental freak.

@@gregoryholstein4224 you're sick dude. Hope you're registered then, and away from schools and parks.

judge not lest be judged.

@@gregoryholstein4224 he wrote an autobiography. Self indictment.

He was an idiot!!!

I never knew all of this, I am shocked and almost dont want to believe it, what a snake he was.

@@janetsabers4965 He was a genius and the daughter Mackenzie is a lying junkie trying to get her 15 minutes of fame because her career blew up when she was a coke fiend.

@@gregoryholstein4224 you are an idiot. He was also a junkie, and groomed his own children! Mackenzie wasn't the only one!

Jury is forever out on that family. Too bad. But the guy got and died sober. The problem with MacKenzie's book is.... it's a book. And John is gone. I'm skeptical about anything that requires no proof.

Tell us more

What's NOT true?

Where I can found information about John phillips life?

TEASE!

just like I said, dont judge him. He was a great artist and his name was sullied. He was not alive to defend himself. Whatever happened to do not speak ill of the dead??

Probably didn't want to be buried next to him 🤢

It could have been in the Will

Maybe she remarried and wants to be there. Or ashes spread…..

Hope u can hv ur yours again. But if not the videos r GREAT!!💖💗❤️💕🌹

Me too. Took a picture too.

How was Scott involved with the movie?

Very interesting individual

I read that book and have listened to several interviews with the author. I'm not sure about it all. Though. Its extremely interesting but just so incredibly far out there. I'm not entirely sold.

Frank Zappa was another one. Did you know that David McGowens died mysterously? If you look up here in You Tube, you will find a vlogger named Mike Williams-Sage of Quay and he has discussions about the rock stars who were part of the Canyon crowd and David McGowens book and research. You will be shocked and amazed. It is a huge rabbit hole.

You could just say military lol

The Great Dave McGowen

Phillips was a pos but his talent should not be diminished, he & Michelle wrote their biggest hits & Elliot never wrote one hit song. She was a great singer and that's about it!

Fantastic songwriter. World Class Lech!

The real talent? Garbage.

@@craiganderson275 I think not.

@@terrytodd7396 come on man. You believe someone with a great singing voice is more talented than a writer, composer and musician of all those classic tunes? Seriously?

Well the liver doesn’t stop your mind from wanting to drink 🤷‍♂️

No he wasn't. Check out Billy Burroughs, jr. Tom Starzl, liver transplant pioneer, performed several liver transplants in the 70s!

Although Cass was wonderful, that's not entirely true. They were popular almost immediately and Denny sang the lead vocals on the first 2 charting singles, California Dreaming and Monday, Monday.

@@Almost_Famous_Ryan I GREW UP WITH THEM SO I DON’T AGREE WITH YOU, MAMA CASS WAS IN MY TIME IDOLISED WORLD WIDE, ALWAYS UP FRONT ON THE RADIO SHOWS OF MY TIME, EVEN RADIO MUSIC SHOW COMPERES RAVED ABOUT HER, HIW SHE WAS THE MAIN VOLALIST OF THE M & PAPA’S THRU OUT THEIR ENTIRE MUSIC CAREER.

@@henaretahata3799 Aren't capital letters great? Which part of my comment is incorrect? Denny sang lead on the first 4 US charting singles; California Dreaming, Monday, Monday, I Saw Her Again, Look Through My Window. Cass obviously sang lead on many songs too, but she was not the exclusive lead singer. Denny sang lead on just as many, and he sang the most successful singles.

@@henaretahata3799 Wrong.

Great artist. Crappy human.

Yeah because Polanski was having an affair with Michelle at the time Sharon was killed. He told Sharon he wanted a hippie not a housewife.

@@greendragn Polanski was a weasel, first, last, and always. Sharon Tate should have honored her engagement 'commitment ' to Jay Sebring, she might be alive today. Not much better than Polanski in my book.

Exactly!!! With Jay's taking and selling drugs along with Frykowski and the Billy Doyle thing put Sharon in the firing line and unfortunately paid with her life by hanging around them goons and Abigail Folger too. If only Sharon didn't cancel her overnight stay at Sheila Wells 🤦‍♂️😳💔😢

Scott who?? What did he do?

Michelle's is very good also , hers was written around 1980, she actually had his 2 kids with Genevieve Waite for a year

Hi roller girl; I'm glad you finished your GED. I loved how you kicked the crap out of that college punk, too. You're probably retired now. Hope you are well😊

Vocally yes, but not songwriting, that was John’s deal Brilliant talent, horrible man

@@ralex3697 Yes. I know that already but thanks tho.

its gross he was whacked out on drugs her too...and the drugs bring alot of people's morality way way down..yeah it was really gross

But, what a GREAT ARTIST. This is the problem with "IDOLS"@@4465Vman

🤭 so funny!

I guess complicated is a nice way of saying they were selfish buttholes with talent.

@@bananafanafoferry6970 I think it means wasted on beans all the time

The old saying, "The price of genius is madness. Plenty of insane, loathsome people have given us much art, music and scientific inovation. A lot of celebrated people are so focused on their creative vision their ordinary lives are anything but. Motzart or Van Gough anyone?

Yeah, you’re definitely missing something
