Book Reviews of California Dreamin': The True Story of the Mamas and the Papas The Music, the Madness, the Magic that was

Book Review: A Tale of Missing Values & Missing Parenting
Summary: 1 Stars

Our nation has come to this, after 200 years? A minus-10 would be a more accurate rating.

A tale of drugs -- 'Acid 25' -- 'bad checks,' and casual infidelity. After Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Madison, Adams, President Jackson .......?

I will never buy these persons' product or 'music'-making, in any format. I could not, in good conscience, support the source.

To send your 17-year old daughter off to live with a 'room-mate' in San Francisco, who then takes up with a married man with children? (Today, he'd be on a 'predator list' on some website, if not arrested by the FBI for taking the minor female across state lines.) This young female was among the most beautiful produced by over 200,000 years of DNA effort among our tribe, and yet what was the outcome?

The values and behavior portrayed here are beneath our great nation, our people, and our family lines. This tale made me want to join EURO, or some such traditional values effort, and quickly.
