37 years ago on this day (July 29, 1974), we lost Mama Cass.

It's really sad that no Freeper put a vanity thread up on this today.

My favorite Mama Cass song was Make Your Own Kind Of Music

This kind of musical genius we shall never see again.

Mama Cass — Cass Elliott — for all her faults was remarkably talented. She reminds me a lot of Amy Winehouse — Jewish (Cass was née Naomi Cohen), hugely talented, deeply flawed, even self-destructive, and dead too soon.

cASS Elliot?
“...no Freeper put a vanity thread up on this...”

Ahhh, good for FR.

Morbidly fat people are downers. Are they going to choke and die at your party? How much more do you pay for health care to cover their costs? And just how do they keep their nether regions clean?

Not for nothing but it’s been 47 years, not 37 since Mama Cass passed. The 70’s have drifted so far away!

FUN FACTS: Cass Elliot has an IQ of 165.

In 1967, Cass was arrested in London, England for stealing bed sheets from an apartment. Charges dropped due to lack of evidence. Cass later admitted stealing the sheets.

Both Cass and Who drummer Keith Moon died in the same apartment in England, one being rented by friend’Harry Nilsson. Harry then decided to move, and sold the apartment to Pete Townsend.
