Free Music Review: Would you admire a group called "The Mamas and the Papas"?
Hit: 1 Stars
Would you buy a CD from a musical group called "The Mamas and the Papas"? No? Well, neither do I!
I got this from a local library. And I must confess that it was the well documented incestuous relationship that notorious drug addict Papa John Philips had with one of his daughters what determined my decision to listen to their music in spite of two nice but almost indifferent songs lingering somewhere in the Cosmos: "Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin'.
Now, having considered Papa John own internal demons and the mayhem of drugs and sex that surrounded him, I got to admit that I am terribly disappointed with their "artistry". I expected a little bit more than the sum of this four colorless flower children's untamed boredom; if not some proto-punk-metal music, at least some dark introspection, some irony, a tight musical passage here, a great lyric there, a yell or a dissonance, but never, never, never this languid Musak.
P.S The tragic death of Mama Cass (asphyxia- a fragment of sandwich, probably un-chewed, or eaten too fast, got stuck in her throat) "presents no adjunct to the Muses' diadem."
