The Tragic Life of John Philips

[@maksimblya192]

I never knew much about this band. Thanks for the video

[@filmretrospective63]

No problem!

[@MARK-PAGE777]

@@filmretrospective63 I actually know (knew) the band members. This is pretty accurate. Michelle looks beautiful, of course. Question---How can I PM (DM) you here on KZbin? I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Thx! MP

Mick knew there was absolute zero sense in trying to talk to him. He knew he wouldn’t listen and would have to find out the hard way. Drugs and alcohol suck

[@BomChickyBowWow]

Their songs are obviously very good, but for me the sonic quality of TMATP music always struck me. It’s acoustic, but there’s a lot of middle in the mixes and the reverb. It’s just a very, very unique type of sound and when you add that with catchy tunes and lyrics it’s irresistible.

[@Dotsaa2]

Nice observation. I agree !

[@LeoDominique23]

This channel is great. Hope to see more.

[@davemish4163]

Such a sad story. I'm not trying to excuse him from anything, but I feel as though he suffered from mental illness, and tried to treat it with drugs and alcohol.

Good man.

thank you!

Please do some more beach boys content!

I think it's funny that we live in a society where the names of drugs have to be censored because so many butt hurt people are offended. Smh.

[@DebbiePotter-xh7kv]

With all the crap you can watch in the internet. Porn, extreme violence, ect ect ect. It’s absolutely absurd

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

The only people who got offended were the youtube board of directors. Nobody asked for it

[@JohnKarvasales]

Class Elliot was the best singer of the group and she had the connections to get hooked up with a contract with Lou Adler. It’s a shame Michelle slept with Denny knowing that Cass loved him, but when you add a bunch of drugs into the picture you can do make many stupid decisions. I’m glad Cass got a standing ovation at the palladium before she passed away. She was on her way to the top of stardom. Michelle came out the other end with her acting on Knotts Landing.

Big fan of Mamas and Papas. I never heard the lead pipe story before. lol

[@kddo1455]

john philips was a heroin addict from the late 60s. wolf king of la makes several overt references to this (topanga canyon most explicitly, also drum where he appears to be in cahoots with the "junkie bums"), as do the mamas and papas songs for the love of ivy and safe in my garden. the idea one of the stones got him on that in the mid 70s is untrue. maybe they got him in to IV cocaine.

Great content.

[@filmretrospective63]

Thank you. One of my lesser watched documentaries this one.

@@filmretrospective63 I am steadily making my way through all of your music related docs. They have all been Very interesting. And very well researched. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

Mama Cass ....how awful she reacted to poor Michelle. As a fan, I'm shocked 😢😢😢

[@stanibol]

What?

[@davidc5820]

Wtf do you mean? Cass was by far the victim in this fucked up group of people. She also was the best singer by far.

[@bonzomcduffy8336]

Are they talking about heroin? What's hero... bleeep?

[@saradavidson3054]

I loved The Mamas and the Papas! Definitely part of the Hippie Generation. I always thought John was so good looking! What a shame..... RIP John.....
