As you may know, I have an aversion – well, a hatred – of hippies.
I was thinking of who was the most ghastly and teeth itchingly horrible hippy group?
First, I thought of the dreadful Moonflowers. A horrible hippy late 80s band.
But, then I thought of another one…
They were the awful San Francisco Height Ashbury hippy bollocks incarnate. The music itself deserves enough stick, California bloody Dreaming and the self congratulatory Creque Alley for a start. But, what cunts they were behind their peace and love hippy facade.
Michelle Phillips, had every counter culture cock there was. Wrecked marriages, even those of close friends. She had both her male bandmates, and a lot more besides. She was such a trouble making slag, she was fired. Only to be brought back months later for the money involved. Peace and love, man.
Mama Cass. Not her real name. of course. A sort of novelty amongst the ‘beautiful people’. What she really was was a fat smackhead and rather light fingered in hotels. Made terrible syrup drenched solo records like It’s Getting Better and Make Your Own Kind Of Music. Truly dreadful shite.
John Phillips. Well, what can we say?
A proper smacked up nutter, who made Keith Richards look like a trappist monk.
Got so loony on drugs, that he’d pick his skin to bits. Seeing imaginary bugs on his body.
And, it gets much worse. He apparently had a coerced insestous relationship with his daughter. Despite denial from his wives, several witnesses have confirmed this. Papa John indeed, eh?
It appears Denny Doherty was the most normal one out of them. And, I’m not sure about him.
And that name – The Mamas and the Papas – is utterly cringeworthy. One of the worst band mames of all time. And, it appears that they were the most smacked up, self back stabbing, amoral group there was. Second only to the mid to late 70s Fleetwood Mac.
Link here, detailing Papa John’s alleged perversitude.
Never ever trust a hippy.
