My Song of the day

1965 The Mamas and the Papas

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)

One of my favorites. I sing it with them every so often.

An old favourite from when I was just discovering myself. Haven't seen them for so long and only the gone-too-soon Mama Cass sticks in my mind (apart from the music).

Weren't the tunes short in those days? Size of the vynal singles, I suppose, along with private radio stations wanting minimal interruption to the commercials.

@FreddieUK Music was kept deliberately short for radio broadcast play back then so they could play more tunes in any given hour.

Ever since Mackenzie Phillips accused Papa John of messing with her while growing up, and Michelle apparently ignoring it, I stopped listening to them.

@NativePortlander1970 I've forgotten all about that. The so-called sexual revolution was not without a lot of hurt.

@FreddieUK Many, many children were caught up in it through no fault of their own as nudist beaches went on a massively significant rise, most of them were "family friendly", where the majority of the most heinous kind of porn was made, two of my younger cousins was caught in it, my paternal aunt's husband would take his family to a local on a Columbia River island, my older of the two sibling cousins told me about it back in the early 90's when we were in our early 20's, that her mother and all the other mothers were completely clueless what was going on with the fathers and the kids, because they would all be drugged and sleeping when the heinous shit was going on.
