I will never forget this song....August, 1967...I was in a car, crossing the Golden Gate bridge, on my way to the airport in San Francisco, and this song came on. Ten days earlier, I was in Vietnam. Now I was going HOME. Damn, what a feeling....
Glad one more of us made it back. FUBAR!
Thank you for your service and for making it home!
Thank u for ur service.
Thank you for your service 💕
That must have been like going from the hinges of hell to the front yard of heaven
This is one of the few songs from that era that actually brings tears to my eyes. There was so much promise for all of us growing up then. ✌🏻💀
Yeah but too many bums, drugs. Hustlers, and lots more..it was a nice fantasy but not based in reality..again, a nice song. But a very unrealistic view of life..Most of the hippies were fairly rich upper class kids who. Once the vibe changes, they left the Haight a really bad place
Yes.... A beautiful fantasy, kinda heartbreaking especially seeing and knowing what San Fran is today
@@jamesleyda365 it is the grandkids of the original hippies who are largely responsible. They like playing urban fantasy till itgets sketchy, then they split..
I was in S.F. several times in the late 70s and 80s. It was a great City. So sad it is crap now. A democratic cess pool.
This is one of those songs... Give me a time machine so I can go back to 1967... I was a kid, but the music was on the radio all the time...We had our whole lives ahead...
1967 The Summer Of Love but, The Year Of Protest.
67 Mustang covert with a small block and a 4 speed is as close as we got. 🙂
This is THE flower power song of the 60 s. It s all about the peace and love generation.
This song is always a pleasure, Scott's bell clear tenor and diction carrying a feelgood happy song.Its a lifter.
Flower power at it’s best! San Francisco was the heart of the hippie movement.
it lasted as long as California's "popular" laws do. Couple of years then it turns to shit and dies.
Hearing this song in Vietnam made us very homesick.
Now when you look at us older set you will think of us at 16 with daisies in our hair and thank you for understanding where we came from....peace and love❤
I lived in the Haight in 67 And i remember the Summer Of Love so well. The word went out and a hundred thousend kids showed up that summer. This song was like an invitation to join us. Lremember the flyers handed out to every housein the neighborhood telling us that soon we were going to be flooded and if you had space could you take someone in.It was thelast great time of brotherhood. I will miss but never forget my brothers and sisters. Music coming from every bldg. The Diggers the Good Earth commune. Growing up then was magic.
How cool is that!!!!???
How much dirty sex did you have?
The Diggers, yes! God bless the Diggers!
Dude, I think I remember you (jk) but we might have run into each other at the Digger's free store or the Fillmore, Avalon, or Carousel. Bill Graham personally tossed me out of the Fillmore on Memorial Day weekend in 68 (I was a teenager and security thought I was smoking pot; I was probably the only one there that wasn't!) I still have the recipe for Digger bread (made in coffee cans) that they printed out back then. The Peace and Love era of hippiedom was short-lived, replaced by violent radical politics, hard drugs, etc. ☮
@@twentyfiveyears5010 That was the sad part by end of 68 grass and acid had been replaced by junk and good people were leaving. I lived 2 doors down from digger victorian and a block away from store. It was a magic time.
Iconic song of the times. Height/Ashbury hippies, peace and love.
I wasn't there, but I've seen pictures of Haight-Ashbury. It was center of 1960s counterculture.
I love Amber's free spirit and hippie vibes. She reminds me of my middle daughter. She is 32 now, but she has been a hippie since she was about 14. She is all about Mother Earth, moon ,stars, sun, peace & love.
Classic song - it moved young people at the time -WE ALL WANTED TO GO !!!
That's a true sixties classic. The Animals had another great one like this called "San Franciscan Nights"
"Strobe lights beam
Creates dreams..."
@@twentyfiveyears5010 "Heavens above, they're on a street called Love" great song
Yes, that one is definitely a must listen!
This song tells one side of the 60's hippie era. Now you're both ready for the darker side of the hippie era. EVE OF DESTRUCTION by Barry McGuire. It's all about Vietnam, protests, marches, riots, politics. Another of the great one hit wonders that gives a snapshot of what was happening at the time. 🔥🔥🔥
Also, Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
Eve of Destruction is entirely relevant today. Sadly, the same cannot be said of "San Francisco". As much as I was into the hippy movement, which was somewhat less focused on a single place here in Europe, it doesn't take a genius to see it was doomed to be quickly side-lined by the power-crazed, money-making machine once they'd taken their pound of flesh from it.
Yes! Please sample Eve of Destruction .
Yup, wasn't all about the flowers, folks.
Really wanna mess with Amber? Point out to her that CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' was recorded first by McGuire, with the then little-known The Mommas And The Poppas providing back-up vocal tracks. He agreed to let them cover it...
Thank you for your service. And to all the other service men in this comment section, Thank you for your service as well. America loves and appreciates you all.
This song always sends me back to that time period. I traveled all over the US hitchhiking. Even then, there was a risk to it, hence I mostly went with my boyfriend. However, everywhere we went people took us in for a night (or more) saying "Here's the couch, kitchen, bathroom, weed. Help yourself and we'll give you a ride to the freeway in the morning." When we were dropped off in front of a burger joint in Portland OR a guy walked up saying: "You just got to town! You have no place to stay! You're staying with me!" The world has changed and I'm not sure that it's for the better
thanks for sharing that was really nice,lucky to have such memories u are
I remember when I didn’t have much to do, I would ride around in my vw bug and give hitchhikers a free ride😊
The reason this 1967 song is about San Francisco is because the Summer of Love took place in 1967 in that city and people from around the country and around the world flocked to it for that. It was a rock music center at the time, home of the Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company (Janis Joplin), the Grateful Dead, the Charlatans, and a bunch of others, with venues like the Filmore Auditorium pioneering acid light shows for rock groups and artists producing some of the psychedelic posters that are still admired today. Before that, it had developed an avant-garde reputation in the late 1950s as a center for Beat poets and jazz.
This was an anthem song for the "Peace" movement (Vietnam) era. Great song and so many memories. ☮
Some other really good songs from this time period is The Turtles - Happy Together, Jefferson Airplane - Somebody To Love, The Tremeloes - Silence Is Golden, Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense & Peppermints & The Mamas & Papas - Creeque Alley. Thank you for sharing with us Jay & Amber, you both are truly amazing!!
Groovy, man , lol!
Country Joe and the Fish were there and led the way. LSD for U & ME.
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. That voice!!
I remember when this song hit the airwaves. It became one of the theme songs of the whole hippie movement. I was a teenage hippie in the 60s and hitchhiked all over the US. We ended up in Haight Ashbury and then the Sunset Strip. I went as far as Hawaii and Alaska going from one crash pad to the next. Life was like one big party. This song brought back some amazing memories. Thanks.
Bless you sir, you must have some amazing stories from that era.I envy you.
I'm a little jealous of you. I was a little too young to fully experience the 60's... Born Late, 58. Obscure "Mott The Hoople" reference, there!
This was written by John Phillips from the mamas and papas and given to Scott McKenzie
He also wrote Twelve-Thirty for Scott but Scott felt it was too much like San Francisco so soon and HIS group wanted it so TM&TP released it and had a hit. Scott did later did a version, it’s here on youtube.
I wore flowers in my hair everyday of my life until I was 50 & started working as a lunch lady. I'm 67 now & this brings back memories of my hippie days. I still won't give up my blue mascara. I also still have my suede fringe vest, love beads, head bands & granny glasses. Haight Ashbury in San Francisco was a major area of the hippie population.
So much hope, so many dreams and we end up with THIS world. Sigh...
This song was one of the great songs in the late 1960s during the “hippie” era and it made it to the top 40 songs, very relaxing 😌, and was used for the Woodstock festival awesome
I really dig this song, it’s so groovy !
Well, actually, it was written to promote The Montery Pop Festival of 1967.
@@resurrectionwaiting9294 Yes written by Papa John Phillips from the Mama's & Papa's.
Ahh. the sounds of my youth. So much positive energy. Man, I miss those days.
@@soldonhim😅😅😅😅
My favorite song from this era and one that always cheers me up is The Grass Roots “Live for Today”. It has been my anthem for 50 + years😀
La La La LA Lets live for today.
@@jacklewis5452 Yes, that's the real hippie anthem.
I heard Scott sing this live, mid 80's in Vegas as he was in the new Mamas and Papas. John Phillips wrote this song. A WONDERFUL SONG and Scott's voice is top shelf. Thanks for the memories.
Brings back my Hippie years! Peace & Love ☮
New Artist Alert! The Cowsills! “Hair” is great and so is “I Love The Flower Girl”, it’s also called “The Rain, the Park and other things”. It’s a family band! From the 60’s!
Absolutely!...I have been looking at the Cowsills Videos and they are Awesome....takes me back when i was a kid.
Yes I agree
Yes! The Cowsills! The Flower Girl song is "The Rain, The Part and Other Things"
The Rain, the Park, and Other Things by the Cowsills. Great suggestion!
@@juliemnm8273 Me too!
1967 was "The Summer of Love," and The Hippie movement and "Flower Power" were all born in San Fransico. "Height/Ashbury," became a tourist destination with actual tour buses, packed with people paying money to "See the Hippies," like it was a zoo or something. It kind of was a zoo. The lyrics say "If you're going...to San-Fransisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. Yes, the whole crazy Hippie and drug era, began here in 1967. Soon. the whole world knew about this new phenomenon.
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, they all sprang out of this time. Can't forget "The Grateful Dead," from right out of San Fransisco. What a time. It lasted about 3 or 4 years in its true form, and then ...it was gone forever. Sure was fun, and the music was the best.
In the 80's I came to San Francisco and went to visit the corner of Height and Ashbury. There was a laundry mat there.😆
FYI... it's *HAIGHT* Ashbury. as in the intersection of the two streets.. but old school just say " The Haight"
CCR from SF too
The bus drivers used to apologize ahead of time by 1969 because Haight had become mostly druggies and methadone clinics and people often lay down in front of the busses and the police did nothing (kind of the start of the decline of the city).
@@jackieknows9129 The Hippies didn't need any stinking laundromat.
The spirit of this song also migrated to Germany. While on maneuvers, my team and I stopped at a hotel/restaurant n the mountains of Southern Bavaria. When we came out, our military vehicle was covered with flowers. A group of young people waited for us and serenaded us with this song. While they were doing it, they also decorated our uniforms and M-16's with flowers. An unforgetable experience. Peace and Love all around
😁👌
At the time this was at or near the top of the charts, another powerful song from that era ("Society's Child) by Janis Ian--who you've reacted to before--was on there as well. Like "At Seventeen," it's a powerful song about a subject that was taboo at the time--interracial relationships.
IMO, San Francisco was the heart of the hippie movement. Great song and a beautiful city. It’s different today but still beautiful.
I absolutely love this song. I sing it all the time. It's actually written by John Phillips of The Mamas & Papas.
Of course, Scott McKenzie would later join a touring edition of The Mamas & The Papas essentially taking Denny Doherty's spot in the band as the two had a similar vocal range.
John and Scott were friends going back to the 1950s. They were in a do-wop group together in the late 50s and when folk music became popular in the early 60s they added a bass player and became the folk trio "The Journeymen." They had a pretty fair measure of success with their biggest hit being "500 Miles" released in 1961 where Scott has the lead vocal.
Everyone of the other Mamas and Papas regretted they didn't get to record it. Michelle Phillips said she thinks it would have been their greatest song.
He and Scot had been in a folk group called The Journeymen.
I went to an oldies show somewhere around the mid-80s and one of the bands was the New Mamas and Papas. It contained John Phillips, Scott McKenzie, Spanky McFarland and Mackenzie Phillips. They had a great sound. ✌️
Love this song, it brings back so many memories of my hippie days! Peace and love!
When Jay writes "She Loved It" in the title, it usually means he ain't feelin' it.. BUT....he felt it too!
There are most likely many songs that bring this nostalgic feeling of the era. But to me, this one is the best. I remember hearing it for the first time and it just picks you up and places you right in that time in history. So much had changed, so much was changing. It is comforting, inviting and positive. Will there ever be another time like this ? Well they tried it again in the 90s kind of, but it was all imitation really. Back then it really was love and peace not the empty gestures we see from many these days. People had hope ! ❤
I wanted to go to San Francisco but way too young….plus I wasn’t a hippie! It was all right if you weren’t it just had a vibe that was pulling me there!
Absolutely.
This is the hippie era encapsulated into one song! Great reaction, as always, guys! ❤
I love this song. Scott's voice is so light and clear and with the music it is so joyful to listen to. They used to call him a one hit wonder but he wrote songs and sung with so many groups like the Mamas and Papas and quite a few of those songs went to number one. This is so nostalgic for me and it has passed the test of time. It came out during my first year in the Army and one of our Platoon Sergeants had just come back from Vietnam. He had fought in a major battle and was awarded a medal for bravery. He is a beautiful soul and we all respected and loved him and most of us survivors are still in touch with him. This was his favourite song and he played it all the time and we never got tired of it. I think it soothed his soul. All of the guys from then still love this song and I think it is an integral part of our bond.
I had a VW bug during my college years in the early 70's and let me tell you, I loved that car. It was as basic as a car can get but despite being inexpensive, it was well made, easy to maintain, and perfect for a college kid. I've had many much nicer cars since then, but there will always be a deep fondness for that car in my heart.
This song saw a resurgence in the early nineties from it's use in the movie Forrest Gump where it was featured after the protest at the Lincoln Memorial
I left San Francisco in 2000, after the death of my life partner, really broken and angry. I did heal and move on, but this song always moves me to tears. I'm grateful for the many years I had there, but could never go back, not even to visit. I've made SF a flower trapped in amber, in my mind. It was a wonderful place, with fascinating, creative people. It is the one thing in my life that I will not accept changed, even though I know that's a delusion.
I grew up in San Francisco. I was 19 in 1967, the “summer of love “. I wasn’t a hippie, but it was a fun time, for a while. But the drugs got heavy, and things got ugly. And it ended soon after. David Crosby said our generation was right about a lot of things, but we were wrong about drugs.
This is such a classic
yall make me happy when I'm all alone missing my lived ones. yall are my family. love your channel love both of you. love grandma from s. texas. Kathy k
Kathy, you're not alone we love you.
This was the 60's...San Francisco was the home of the original hippies and love children...and now those that are still here are grandparents...time stops for no one...
As an old British guy who has loved the Beatles for ever, I want to thank you two lovely people for getting it!
Love this 💖💫💖 I still get goosebumps when I here the first cords 💖💫💖
This one and Get Together by the Youngbloods have a similar effect on me.
San Francisco was written by John Phillips of the Mama and Papas, and was originally written to promote the Monterey Pop Festival that year (1967) which was to go on to become a legendary festival.
Wasn't that where Janis Joplin jaw-dropped Momma Cass in the audience singing "Ball and Chain"?
@@michaelpape3793 Yep!
My Aunt and Uncle from OKLAHOMA came to visit one of my other uncles, and it was a trip for us. As we drove around San Francisco, I got to see all the “Flower Children” all over the city. Even when we got to Hayward which is part of the Bay Area every street corner had flower children on it. They were just groovin’ all over the place. I grew up during that time, and got face time with quite a few flower children at the Airport as I was headed out to my Basic Training.
He was a friend of john Phillips ,of the mama and the papas, he wrote this for scott.
When I was driving to Long Beach California back in 1990 that song played on the radio even though it came out long before 1990. Love that song! Definitely remind me of the flower power days. If you get a chance, check out the song "In the year 2525" by Zager and Evans
This was one of my favorite songs when it came out when I was 12 years old. It always made me feel good inside. I was excited when I got to visit SF (I grew up in Santa Barbara, about 5 hours south) with my class the following year in junior high. I bought a peace sign necklace from a "hippie" girl wearing flowers in her hair! She put a daisy behind my ear! I wore my peace sign everyday to school. Visited that amazing city many times over the years.
Another great song from that time and in that mode is "Get Together" by The Youngbloods. An iconic song from that era with a lot of meaning to those of us who lived through that time in our nation's history. Great reaction! You two rock!!
I flew to SF in 1993.... such a cool time!!
(nothin like the 60s.... but visited Muir Woods, Golden Gate Bridge, SFMOMA, rode cable cars....., And more. Stayed in ElCirrito...) . The SF hard rock cafe has much so memorabilia. So cool!!
Since you're into the Bee Gees, I must recommend their 1967 song "Massachusetts", which was inspired by all the young people venturing out on their own to places like San Francisco. It was about someone being homesick for Massachusetts, so it was sort of the opposite of this song. It's an early Bee Gees hit, with lead vocals by Robin Gibb.
Beautiful song.
GREAT RECOMMENDATION ❤️
For me that is still one of their best songs even above all of their great disco hits.
Wow. Been forever and a day since I've heard this. So long, in fact, that I complete forgot who sang it. I had to use Wiki to refamiliarize myself with Mr. McKenzie... turns out this was his only BIG hit (hitting #4 in the US and #1 in the UK in 1967). He did have a second minor hit, "Like an Old Time Movie", and that's pretty much it. I love how you guys like to explore the depths of music history, even shining light on some talented singers whose star never rose as high as the bands and artists that became household names. Also: the full title of this song is "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair". Finally - while we have San Francisco on the brain, there is a crooner that you have yet to react to, one of the best, and one of the very few that's still with us... Tony Bennett, whose (arguably) best known song is "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". Check it out.
I saw the Mamas & Pappas in the mid-90's and Scott McKenzie was with them in Denny Doherty's place and they played this song.
Scott wrote a few hits for other people, one that comes to mind is Anne Murray's "What About Me"
Scott also co-wrote Kokomo with John Phillips of the Mama's and Papa's for the Beach Boys
Another great song that got a lot of airplay, even in the 70s/80s here in the UK 🇬🇧 ("San Francisco" was a hit in 1967)
Phrases back then..."flower power" and "love in"
My dad bought a flower print couch back then thinking he would impress the hippie in me! Lol
It was so gaudy but I appreciated his thought behind it.
Such a great song. Jay the circle glasses were called “granny glasses” back in the day. Thanks for all you do. Love your channel!
Makes me remember Woodstock!
I was born at the start of that summer 56 years ago. A friend of mines mother hitch hiked all the way from Toronto Canada, to Frisco in the summer of 67 this how we were introduced to the great bands of the sixties she was only 17 years old when she did that with a few of her friends. I miss her and just talking about the times back then and all the classic bands she saw like Hendrix , The Doors, Cream, Janis, Jefferson Airplane the list that she saw just goes on and on and is the whos who of sixties rock Miss you Ruby.
I grew up in the Oakland Hills across the bay from San Francisco from age 4 thru college finishing at age 22. This song came out in 1967 when I was 10 yrs old so too young to be part of the "hippie movement", though I did go to UC Berkeley after high school. The S.F. Bay Area was truly an awesome place to live in and the music growing up was just great. This was such a beautiful song and it made you feel so happy and mellow. So many songs and groups started in the Bay Area in the 60s and 70s. I still listen to this every year. Makes me feel like a kid again.....Peace baby !!!!
Finally, we got this song. I knew you would like it!
This was an anthem for it's time.. .. 1967 was the year of Flower Power.. Monterey Pop.. and everything groovy.. go for some more Hippie stuff.. The Mama's & Papa's - Creeque Alley .. The Association - Along Comes Mary or Windy.. or even The Fifth Dimension - Up, Up And Away! .. The spirit lives on.... Love your reactions ..
The hippies failed .
It literally makes me cry to hear this. We've lost so much since then, never to be experienced again.
This song always bring back memories of going to CA. and San Francisco in 1973. I was only 12 years old so was a little young still to wear flowers in my hair. I have a memory of going to Embarcadero Square and it was full of people hanging out, playing a variety of instruments, and music from the 60's and 70's playing. It was a warm summer day. I wish I could find some You-tube videos from Embarcadero square in 1973, but haven't found any. Great song though.
San Francisco was the center of the Flower Power/Peace and Love musical movement. So many great artists and bands came out of a small block radius.
Now that's one powerful memory trigger! I have *always* loved this song! ☺♥
I grew up in SF in the 60s. Remember this song well
Love this Song...was one those that really rept..the mood of a generation..
Continuing what was the , " Summer of Love " ..movement..Peace & Love
This song is one of the greatest songs of all time and is in my top 100 never get tired of this one thanks for reacting
It was called Flower Power. I was 17 when this song came out but living in Southern California. The 50’s and 60’s, 9mi from the beach and 7 mi from Disneyland was THE BEST time and place to grow up for music and things to do.
You know how you have special memories that are always there? 1967; I was earning money at my family firm packing armatures overlooking Huddersfield Railway Station. I was 17, between Transitus and 6th form, when I would take my A levels and leave school, listening to Pirate Radio (there were a few pirate stations broadcasting on boats from outside the three mile limit - when we only had the one BBC light music programme) and THIS song, never thinking we ever go to San Francisco… or America. And now, at 72, I’ve been three times, to SF once…. and this takes me back to those late teen years. Sergeant Pepper came out a year later, in 1968.
Written by John Philips of the Mamas and Papas.
And Scott McKenzie has such a beautiful voice
San Francisco is amazing, beautiful. Was in Haight Ashbury in 1998, looks the same as it did in 1967 the “summer of love”. I get a rental car with a sun roof and drive back and forth over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Since you like "hippie" songs you need to listen to "The Rain, The Park, and Everything" by The Cowsills, who were a family group.
And hair by the cowsills
Yes! Hair, too.
In Nov. Of 1970 disillusioned by the war protests and the shootings at Kent State I dropped out of college and went out West and hitch hiked around California! I made it up to Frisco and Haight Asbury!! Even stopped by "The Phoenix" head shop where I bought a silver bullet roach clip. Ahh the dreams we had!!!
Back in the 60s/70s, my band owned a VW Van that we carried our equipment in. It was totally painted psychedelic. We drove everywhere in that van. We often also wore headbands and had long hair. Love this song.
On Forest Gump it is a type of a folk song. please do Cinderella Shelter Me . Please . Today is Ringo''s 82 birthday. ( the Beatles)
Check out Sammy John's "Chevy Van".... From 73 but still a great hippie song 🕊️💗. This is a great song.....so Mello 🤭
San Fran was the hippie capital of the world. I was in 11th grade, emersed in the hippie movement. We were too young to get up and head to CA. But in Miami we had a special park that you went to every Sunday ..sit and enjoy nature, listen to bands, and mingle with people who had the same views as you did ...a love-in. Peace and love!!!
You guys are so right about his voice. Its beautiful ❤. And the song is awesome 😊.
That was really good guys
You need to react to “Across the Universe” on the movie channel. It is all during the hippie era and is all Beatles Songs- a two fer.
There was so much to those times I remember - the political references in Mad Magazine, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, the space race, cool plastic models of hot rods and choppers, The American Indian Movement, The Whole Earth Catalogue and hippie communes, fringe jackets, The Weather Underground, Carlos Castaneda, young people backpacking around the world or going on long road trips, The Monkees, Easy Rider and Billy Jack! I wouldn't believe all that, and much more, really happened if I hadn't lived through it!
Definitely one of the best songs of the hippie era. Totally evokes the spirit of the times. Love the reaction! Peace!
Another song about San Francisco from a few years earlier (1962) is begging for a reaction. "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" is from crooner Tony Bennett and is his iconic signature song. Given his failing health due to dementia, it will be prominently heard in the tributes following his death.
*Best peace and love song-
"Lay Down(Candle in the Rain)", by Melanie and The Edwin Hawkins Singers.Their Live TV recording is powerful, bring smiles and tears.
The Anthem of Peace and Love. Oh to be a Hippie back in the day. This song was the essential party song where incense was burned and we thought we were so groovy. Loved this song like you AMBER and couldn't wait to grow up to be a HIPPIE. ✌️✌️🌺🌺🌺✌️✌️ Thanks for the memory. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
I know yall probably wont see this but there's a song called "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree" by Tony Orlando and Dawn that is absolutely amazing and I know you both will love it!
This song was written by John Phillips of the Mama's and Papas to help promote the Monterrey Pop Festival. Jordan and Amber, check out the movie about it. Another great SF song is San Francisco Nights by Eric Burdon and The Animals
The anthem for the "Summer of Love" - 1967 in San Francisco... And, Amber - it's up to your generation to carry all that love and peace forward in this day and time.
This song was the anthem of the mid-1960s. Love to see see/hear your reaction to Scott's, "Like an Old-Time Movie."
OML 60S ONE OF THE PRETTIEST SONGS EVER, LOVE SCOTT,
Another nostalgic song of the late 60's, "America" by Simon & Garfunkel. Very bittersweet. Freedom to search for meaning of your life and the American dream. I think you'd both love the meaning, and the lyrics are pure poetry!
Donovan. Now Scott McKenzie. You guys are going full-hippie lately, lol. See, micro-bus starts the video off. 17 years old when this came out. Yes, it is an Amber anthem. Jay, you gotta get some Byrd glasses, as they were called. Look for a pic of Roger McQuinn from the Byrds. Then you both could hit that hippie vibe in that field. Lovely tune. Haight Ashbury ruled. Never lasted of course. Junkies and homeless crashed it all. Well, nice while it lasted. George Harrison strummed his way thru the neighborhood at one point. Thanks! Great reaction!
I remember too, how the Peace and Love facet of the hippie movement only lasted a few years before being ruined by violent politics, hard drugs, etc.☮
@@twentyfiveyears5010 exactly, bro.
Without a doubt one of my favourite songs of all time!
This was really a magical song in 1967.
I was 8-9 years old in 1967 and I never went to San Francisco until 2003 when I was 44 years old. As soon as I got my rental car I headed for the Golden Gate Bridge and cued up this song on the car stereo and drove across with this song blasting out the windows.
More Summer of Love.
