Scott Mackenzie has died.

I'm grief stricken RIP Scott.

I was holidaying in Conwy (Wales ) in the sixties with my folks in a caravan when you had your big hit - "San Fransico". It's a sentimental favourite for me, takes me back to those fun times long ago.

Good song but I always think that the chords go wrong in that song. Might be a clever hook.

 

[joe-90]

Yes it has a kind of 'gear change' but doesn't change key. It was written by mamma and Pappa John Philips.

Hmmm

What's that all about? Ever since the death of Lady Di there has been a well-known phenomena known as 'public grief' whereby members of the public all over the country grieve for a celebrity that they've never met, or knew vaguely.

Lol, well remembered.

How sad is this? I had a favourites folder for all of Mickeymoodys posts and kept them all till I unleashed everything on him. The death of his 2 brothers, his flatmate being in prison, his mum having some kind of disease and a whole load of other contradictory shyte. The night I posted it all the thread got deleted and a week later he'd gone

You don't really think I'm grief stricken do you? Somebody I've never met? FFS - you are sooooo gullible.

So can we assume it's all a lie, the holiday to Conwy? a figment of your imagination.

 

[joe-90]

No that's all true, but I haven't thought of the guy three times in the past forty years. Why would I? Why should I care? I don't know him.

 

[securespark]

You were moved enough to post....

 

[joe-90]

Not moved at all. I saw the chance for mischief and you lot fell for it.
