The Song
John Phillips from The Mamas & Papas wrote this as the unofficial anthem for the Monterey Pop Festival, which is near San Francisco. Phillips helped organize the festival.

John Phillips played guitar on this track and produced it with Lou Adler.
McKenzie was in a group called The Journeymen with John Phillips. His only other hit was the follow up to this "Like An Old Time Movie," and by the end of the '60s he'd gone to live in the desert.

In the late '80s McKenzie co-wrote the Beach Boys #1 single "Kokomo."

The session musicians who played on it were top notch: Joe Osborn on bass, Hal Blaine on drums and Larry Knechtel on keyboards. They were some of the first-call Los Angeles musicians who played on many of Phil Spector's productions.

This was one of the big Hippie hits during the Summer Of Love in 1967. Many peace activists and folkies wore flowers in their hair.

One Day at a Time?
John Phillips named his daughter, from his first marriage, Mackenzie - in honor of his long-time friend Scott McKenzie.
