RIP: SCOTT McKENZIE

1939 - August 18, 2012:
 The very epitome of a 'one-hit wonder' but what a one hit he had...San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair); the 1967 song that was the San Francisico hippy song, for those of use not old enough to go there and be one. Perhaps it runied the term and lifestyle for the real hippies, but nonetheless...
it gave the rest of us something to dream about, and perhaps changed our lives from how it may have turned out...
Rock on, Scott (not his real name - the McKenzie came from John Phillip's daughter McKenzie), rock on...
