Record #34: The Mamas and the Papas

Drugs! Dysfunction! Harmonies!As the folk-rock-pop band turns, I recount the twists, turns, acid, and petty fraud that brought John, Michelle, Denny, and Cass together, as well as tearing them apart. Working on this episode has also spurred a side project: a list of Rock's Biggest Sh!theads. * Note: if knowing what you know about John Phillips would make listening to me mention his name psychological unsafe for you, I totally understand if you want to give this a pass. I stick to the formation of the Mamas and the Papas through 1966, so the other stuff isn't mentioned, but still.
