"Why would any sane person want to leave Rocks Off? If you have an issue outside of Rocks Off, handle it. When you return it will be as if you never have left. Once you are here-it's expected you stay. Why waste long cultivated posting skills somewhere else? The outside world will not understand." -Nellie

He played the Anthem for the Summer Of Love in '67, I remember that song so well, the Tourist board should have paid him & John Philips for all the free advertisement.
He had another single but it didn't do as well as "San Francisco"

By the way, that version wasn't very good, this is the one I remember.

I mentioned this in the Phyllis Diller thread, simply becuase I heard of FOUR deaths yesterday {one might have been the day before}. It was just too much information to process at one time...
