    Scott McKenzie's Interests
GeneralPreserving my sense of humor while learning the art of kindness. This is not as easy as it may sound.
MusicChippewa Song:
Sometimes I go about pitying myself, and all the time I am being carried on great winds across the sky
MoviesMovies were invented so theaters could sell too much buttered popcorn to people like me. Some of my favorites: The Outlaw Josie Wales; The Godfather I and II; Duck Soup; Hamlet (1948-Olivier); To Have and Have Not; The Magnificent Seven; Dr Strangelove; Touch of Evil; Yojimbo; On the Waterfront; Chinatown; Monty Python and the Holy Grail; Red Dawn; The Manchurian Candidate (1962); The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance; Life of Brian; Young Frankenstein; Being There; Blazing Saddles; This is Spinal Tap; LA Confidential; The General; The Bank Dick; Once Upon a Time in America; Once Upon a Time in the West; White Heat; Bird; In a Lonely Place; Viva Zapata!
TelevisionFor a recluse like me, it's a Godsend. My favorite programs change as I do.
BooksSmall,rectangular anachronisms, with flat paper things called pages contained between front and back covers, but that's not important now.
Heroes Nurture your mind with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes. Benjamin Disraeli

And so Galahad decided that it would be a disgrace to set off on a quest with the other knights. Alone he would enter the dark forest where there was no path. This is the myth of the Hero's Journey.
Joseph Campbell

My heroes are all of those who alone enter the dark forest where there is no path.

   Scott McKenzie's Blurbs
About me:
I live in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles with an orange 15 year old cat named Spider, AKA The Orange Flash. My claim to fame is a 1967 record called "If You're Going to San Francisco, Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair", certainly the longest song title in pop-music history. It was composed by my old high school buddy, the great John Phillips, and was used as the theme song for the Monterey International Pop Festival in June of 1967.

What does all of this mean? It means I'm a septuagenarian flower child, which is an oxymoron if ever I tried to spell one.

My good friend Gary Hartman in Perth, Australia is nowhere near as old as I am. Young Gary maintains a site in my name, where people from all over the world leave messages: SCOTT MCKENZIE

Who I'd like to meet:
The great TV comedians of the 1950's - Milton Berle, Jackie Gleason, Steve Allan, Ernie Kovaks, Sid Caesar, who conspired to keep at least one frightened teenaged boy laughing, no matter what happened. Except for Caesar, all of these giants have left us. I'd like to meet them so I can thank them for giving me so much laughter and joy.

And my father, who died before I was three years old.

Hi Scott,

You are one bad, cool dude! Aaah, the days of smoking banana peels, herbs, and various....!

Hope you finally found your way out of Home Depot. I like flushing the toilets and ringing the door bells there myself!

Hey Scott,

I just got back from a trip to the Bristlecone Pine Forest. There's nothing like being in nature up at 10,000 feet above sea level to get a clear perspective on life...and a challenge to fight altitude sickness.

Well, my feet are on the ground now, so I'd better try and act like a grown up. Some have more difficulty than others doing that...I am one of them.

Adieu,

Gloria

Hi Scott,

I am glad you and Barry had such a wonderful and memorable time together, what with all the laughter and some tears. You probably had a lot to share and catch up on.

I think it's great to have those forever friends that you just feel comfortable with and can say anything to (especially outrageous things! and they won't judge or criticize you.). And no matter how long it has been since you last saw the person, you can just pick up the conversation as if you left off only yesterday.

I guess that is what you call unexplainable "friend chemistry." Who knows why it is with certain people and not others?

My friends who really love me have a strange way of showing it...through practical jokes!! Wonder what I did to deserve that?

Since I'm a friend here on MySpace, ;-}...I'll say it here. Forget the stories about BMcG.
You have a Cal-King bed?? Jesus, Mary and Joseph I'm jealous. Lucy would still probably cramp my leg space. Sleep tight.
