Comment by The Flying Atheist on August 16, 2012 at 12:22pm: Thanks Loren. Great video. The Mamas and the Papas were a great group. I remember watching a documentary about them on PBS years ago.....they pretty much spent the span of their years together high on pot or some kind of drug. Kinda like Louie Armstrong, who was a daily pot smoker. They all made fantastic music!!

Yes, James, when Cass Elliot started her solo career she wanted to known as Cass instead of Mama Cass. She even sang a song about it.

Comment by Idaho Spud on August 16, 2012 at 11:16am: Thanks Loren. I Call Your Name is my favorite Mamas & Papas, and Cass is the best part of it.

Comment by James Yount on August 16, 2012 at 10:42am: Hello Steph. Good day so far. Hope yours is too

Loren - Thanks a bunch. Another good one.

I just read that Cass Eliot hated to be called 'Mama Cass.' Anyone know if that's true?

Comment by Steph S. on August 16, 2012 at 10:35am: Oh cool - thanks Loren - you posted that as I was posting!

Awesome.

Hi James! Hope your day is going well.

Comment by Steph S. on August 16, 2012 at 10:34am: Cool music Flying Atheist - enjoyed your posts. I've heard those Mamas & The Papas songs. Thanks!

Peace, love and happiness to all of you!

Comment by James Yount on August 16, 2012 at 10:33am: lol, I thought you were just asking nicely for love and happiness. PLEASE! That works too.

Comment by Loren Miller on August 16, 2012 at 10:32am: Okay, so long as we're talkin' about Mamas and Papas and especially Cass Elliott, let's pull THIS out:

Personally, I think the Beatles would have approved.
