    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.

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.

Gladsky: Texts and Other Fictions in Gore Vidal’s Burr TEXTS AND OTHER FICTIONS IN GORE VIDAL’S BURR Thomas Gladsky Central Missouri State University Over the years, Gore Vidal has campaigned furiously against theorists and writers of the new novel who, according to Vidal, “have attempted to change not only the form of the novel but the relationship between book and reader” (“French Letters” 67). In his essays, he has condemned the “misdirected” efforts of writers such as Donald Barthelme, John Gardner, Thomas Pynchon, John Barth, William Gass, and all those who come equipped with “formulas, theorems, signs, and diagrams because words have once again failed them” (“American Plastic” 102). In comparison, Vidal presents himself as a literary conservative, a defender of traditional form in fiction even though his own novels betray his willingness to penetrate beyond words and to experiment with form, especially in his series of historical novels.
