If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to bring some flowers for the casket
(Props to observer Joe Wright)
Scott McKenzie, best known for his hippie anthem “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair),” has died at the age of 73 from complications related to Guillain-Barre syndrome. He was a childhood friend of John Phillips, and the two teamed with Dick Weissman to form The Journeymen, basically a sausage fest version of Phillips’ later group The Mamas & the Papas, but McKenzie was able to refrain from having sex with any of his children. McKenzie later busted out his rhyming atlas to co-write the Beach Boys comeback song Kokomo.
