Greenwald, a rock journalist and longtime fan, collects quotes from new and existing interviews with M&P friends and associates to tell the group's soap-opera story. Also annoying are a significant number of typographical errors in the proofs. From Library Journal Projecting a sunny, carefree image with folk-pop hits such as "California Dreamin' " and "Monday, Monday," the Mamas & the Papas pioneered the kind of complex internal dysfunction later popularized by Fleetwood Mac. For instance, it is unclear from the text exactly when Elliot died; only a caption from a funeral photo tells readers it was 1974. Recommended where there is de

F. Go Where You Wanna Go collects the memories of band members John and Michelle Phillips, Cass Elliot, and Denny Doherty, along with recollections from friends, fellow musicians, industry insiders, and other eyewitnesses. Sloan, photographer Guy Webster and Kingston Trio songwriter John Stewart, and dozens of others.The tale of The Mamas & The Papas is the quintessential story of pop music in the 60s; holding on to the youthful dreams and love of music while caught in the whirl of sex, drugs, and million-dollar deals. Other people speaking out in the book include David Crosby and Graham Nash (introduced to each other by Cass), Ray Manzarek and drummer Hal Blaine, musician and record producer P. Michelle's brief affair with Denny enraged a jealous Cass, and led to John's temporarily kicking Michelle out of the band. In Greenwald's hands, the intertwining interviews tell the story of the band from its early days in downtown New York to its global success following the release of "California Dreamin'."As the testimonials reveal, the band that harmonized together perfectly was loaded with conflicts. Go Where You Wanna Go revisits-in the words of those who were there-that time when four talented people added an unforgettable new sound to America's music..

BEST OVERVIEW OF MAMAS AND PAPAS EVER COMPILED! I have read the reviews written here, and have to wholeheartedly disagree. This is a phenomenol account, and matthew greenwald did a superlative job. I am an AVID Mamas and Papas fan, and have read EVERTHING written about them. THIS IS THE BOOK TO READ if you want to get a complete picture of the players and the era. I learned so much from the people who were their friends and contemporaries. I have read "Papa John" by John Phillips and found it meandering and full of untruths. I have read "California Dreaming" by Michelle Phi. "The blatant errors in this book are shocking!" according to TJAMES0The blatant errors in this book are shocking! I am probably one of M & P's greatest fans and even I was shocked at how many typo's, complete paragraph errors, etc., that this book has. Hopefully in the second printing, (if there is going to be one) the mistakes will have been edited out. If they are, I am sure that the first edition printings will be a collector's item.. .
