Mackenzie Phillips is claiming in her new book, High on Arrival, that on the eve of her 1979 wedding she slept with her musician father, John Phillips. My father was not a man with boundaries, writes the actress, who is appearing on Oprah this afternoon. 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.
Singer-songwriter Phillips was, of course, the founder of the Mamas and the Papas who enjoyed an extraordinary run of hits in the late 60s, including California Dreamin, Monday, Monday, and Dedicated to the One I Love. He also co-wrote the 1988 Beach Boys hit Kokomo. But Phillips had a number of addiction issues which undoubtedly contributed to the patchiness of his post-Mamas solo career and, ultimately, to his demise in 2001 at the age of 65.

I do? What makes you think so? No, I don’t!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Dittos. It would only hurt his wife. And I imagine this is enough.
Still, she’s a cougar, ain’t she?
Humblegunner owes you an apology.
Uhhhhhh... he is dead!... long dead.
Oh boy, you deserve what you’re gonna get for that one.
What’s wrong with this pissy thread, is this the afternoon FReeper shift? There was another one on the same subject earlier quite reasonable!
Humblegunners never apologize!
I watched the interview. She said she did confront him about the “rape” and he classified it as “made love....
She was just a kid, obviously in one messed up family situation. It’s sad.
Makes you wonder how many families are in this state nowadays, I don’t imagine things have gotten better.
I promise to boycott any future albums by him.
Actually, there have been two recent “lost” albums by this wasted musical genius.
Well, I’m skeptical. She admits she was so drunk/high/stoned or some combination of the three she passed out. I doubt she was stone sober when she came to.
I happen to like the Mamas & the Papas. At least now. Back when (4th grade or so) I thought they were too commercial, too top 40. I liked real drug music.
But now I love their stuff. Cass Eliot may have been a pig, but she could sing.
A junky will do anything to feed their monkey.
Ol' Horse Mouth gotta eat!
I won’t boycott his music. He’s dead so he won’t see any of the royalties. As I said on another thread, she just gave herself a big cut in pay ‘cause there are plenty who will boycott.
All time fav M&P song: Even If I Could
If this story is true, how despicable.
you’d hit it.
I’ve been boycotting his music for 40+ years. Guess I’m ahead of the curve.
