I thought I knew weird until Preston Nichols claimed that Scott McKenzie's biggest song, If You're Going to San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) was actually performed by Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and his brother Chuck (who isn't listed as a brother of his on Wiki) at recording studios in Montauk, NY. McKenzie never sang it live. It's actually a really cool book, interesting at the very least.

the songs of our lives....

Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~

Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~

Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~

Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~

“When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.”

If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.

A very interesting read, but I simply don't buy the claim that Chuck Hamill sang lead on the "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)" record.

If you watch the first video in this thread (filmed at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967), it's obviously Scott McKenzie singing the song in front of an audience, and his voice is identical to the voice singing on the record.

Just read up on that Laurel Canyon a little. Pretty interesting. Since this is based in Montauk though, don't think they are related. But I'm gonna keep reading. Zappa? Who knew? Ha!
