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.

What made this girl have such a major problem? Story could be true...or not. It is not beyond the realm of possibility. However, she is one messed up woman and always has been.

Thank goodness that the laws against illicit drugs prevented this sort of thing from happening... </sarcasm>
HELLO???!!!
It’s called INCEST, and it’s the second-greatest human taboo, next to cannibalism.
And now people brag about it????
God help us all.
Boycott John Phillip’s music... I guess so, but I really like “Stars and Stripes Forever.”
I met Mackenzie in a bar in Lake George, NY in the late 80s and said hi. She said hi back.
Should “California Dreaming” be renamed “Fiji Dreaming”?
Nice tune! I’d don’t think I’ve heard it.
Here’s one of my favorites:

Somebody told me that was Topanga Canyon. True?
Typical Hippie scum, from incest to Washington DC.
I don’t know either. I’m just hoping it isn’t.
There’s a reason they call that stuff “dope.”
The "Even If I Could" video had pictures of Jill Gibson who briefly replaced Michelle Phillips on their 2nd album. JG was ex-girlfriend of Jan Berry and Lou Adler, the producer of the M&P's. It's never been clear which tracks Jill sang and was kept as final masters as some were erased and Michelle recorded later when she returned to the band.
That whole Hollywood area was pretty crazy in late 60's but still MUCH more friendly than what it is now. I recall the Doors playing the Whisky on Sunset and you could see almost anyone hitching a ride on Sunset or Hollywood Blvd. We were so poor for entertainment we'd walk those streets and people watch.
At least she wasn’t having sex with Larry Sinclair.
One of the finest voices ever. I don't about her politics or her fat.

It’s sad to look back on the era
and see so much talent that self-destructed.
Cass was pitch-perfect.
