I'm sure some people think of the group as boring soft-rock, simply because they haven't listened too closely, but the Mamas & the Papas were for a short while in the '60s one of the best folk-rock groups, with one of the best harmonic vocal blends outside of the Beatles and the Beach Boys. John Phillips was among the most talented songwriters of the era, and in Cass [...]

Produced by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the album reunited them in the studio for the first time with ex-Stones member Mick Taylor and also features his replacement, Ron Wood. listen: She's Just 14 [...]

Most of it goes straight into our spam and/or trash folders, but today one caught my attention immediately. As reported on this very blog just yesterday, Mackenzie Phillips has been on a highly publicized press tour this week — including an appearance on Oprah and a featured tell-all in People — to promote her new memoir, High On [...]
"My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father," so recounts Mackenzie Phillips on the eve of her wedding when she was 19. Her father, of course, is the late-John Phillips of Mamas and Papas fame. This news is icky whether you believe her (somehow I do) or you don't - since it means she's inventing an incetuous releationship to sell books . Such is the nature of modern [...]

Ugh, this whole John Phillips thing (short-short version: his daugher Mackenzie, formerly of One Day At A Time , went on Oprah to say that her late father, formerly of The Mamas & The Papas, had sex with her the night before her 1979 wedding, and carried on an affair with her that went beyond that) is so gross. So, so, so gross. A friend asked if he's officially the worst person in rock-music history as a result of these revelations, and I don't even know how to answer that. Thoughts? [ Oprah.com / AP [...]
