  • The Mamas and the Papas – California Dreamin' “If You're Going
    The Mamas and the Papas – California dreamin’ “If you’re going to San Francisco be sure to wear some flowers in your hair” (John Phillips) 1.Els autors Influenciat per la “Generació Beat”, a mitjan anys 60 té lloc a San Francisco l’eclosió del moviment hippy. En la seva vessant musical, aquest nou moviment apostava decididament per una línia contestatària i subversiva, tant musicalment com en el contingut dels textos de les cançons, ara carregats de missatge. A partir d’aquest moment, la música passa a ser el mitjà d’expressió de la joventut, de la seva angoixa i del seu desig d’un altre món més lliure i just. I també de la crida per la pau, just en un moment de gran rebuig a la guerra del Vietnam. Els hippys predicaven l’evasió, la fugida (també a través de les drogues) d’un món i d’una societat incomprensibles. Els seus profetes literaris van ser Kerouac i Ginsberg. I entre els musics més significatius que van transmetre aquest missatge trobem The Mamas and the Papas. The Mamas and the Papas va ser una de les principals formacions de folk-pop sorgides a mitjan anys 60. Conjuntament amb altres grups, com ara Byrds, Beach Boys o Turtles, van omplir les llistes d’èxits de l’època amb cançons carregades de cors harmònics. El segell identificatiu del grup va ser la barreja de veus masculines (John Phillips i Denny Doherty) i femenines (Michelle Phillips i Cass Elliott) i la combinació de lletres sòlides amb arranjaments dels millors músics californians del moment.

  • From Del Ray to Monterey Pop Festival
    Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic From Del Ray to Monterey Pop Festival Alexandria Times, February 11, 2016 Image: The Momas and the Popas. Photo, Office of Historic Alexandria. t the center of Alexandria’s connection to rock and folk music fame was John Phillips. Born in South A Carolina, John and his family lived in Del Ray for much of his childhood. He attended George Washington High School, like Cass Elliot and Jim Morrison, graduating in 1953. He met and then married his high school sweetheart, Susie Adams, with whom he had two children, Jeffrey and Mackenzie, who later became famous in her own right. Phillips and Adams lived in the Belle Haven area after high school, but John left his young family at their Fairfax County home to start a folk music group called the Journeymen in New York City. The new group included lifelong friend and collaborator Philip Bondheim, later known as Scott McKenzie, also from Del Ray. The young men had met through their mothers, who were close friends. While in New York, John’s romantic interests turned elsewhere and he told Susie he would not be returning to her. Soon after, he married his second wife, Michelle Gilliam, who was barely out of her teens. They had one daughter, Chynna, who also gained fame as a singer. Gilliam and Phillips joined two former members of a group called the Mugwumps, Denny Doherty and Cass Elliot to form The Mamas and the Papas in 1965. This photo from that time shows Gilliam and Doherty to the left, Phillips and Elliot to the right, and fellow Alexandrian Bondheim at the center.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

  • At GW High School Some California Dreamin
    Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic At GW High School, some California dreamin’ Alexandria Times, January 28, 2016 Image: Ellen Naomi Cohen, known as Mama Cass Elliot. Photo, Office of Historic Alexandria. nother of the legendary musical performers that attended George Washington High School in Alexandria’s Del Ray neighborhood was A Ellen Naomi Cohen, who became known the world over as Mama Cass Elliot. Cohen was born in Baltimore in 1941 to the children of Russian immigrants. The family moved to Alexandria in her childhood and rented an apartment at 1502 Commonwealth Ave. Cohen did her best to fit in at GW, and adopted the nickname “Cass” possibly after the well-known comedian of the time, Peggy Cass. At the school she became interested in the performing arts and during the summer of her senior year she was cast in a production of the comedic farce, “The Boy Friend” at the Owings Mills Playhouse in Maryland. There she played the minor role of a French nurse, but her vocal talents lifted the production immensely with her solo rendition of “It’s nicer, much nicer, in Nice.” Cass left high school before graduation in 1961 and moved to New York where she assumed the stage name Elliot in memory of a recently departed friend. She worked at The Showplace nightclub in Greenwich Village as a singing coat check attendant, and could often be found performing at late-night “open mike” at area bars. In 1962, after losing out to Barbra Streisand for a part in the Broadway production of “I Can Get it for You Wholesale,” she returned to the Washington area to attend American University.
