“California Dreamin’” turns 60 today.
“We were staying in New York,” said Michelle Phillips, “and it was a terribly cold winter. John had been complaining that he missed the warmth of California, and one night he woke me up and said, ‘I’ve just written this song, and you have to help me with it.’”

Ladies and Gentlemen...the first seven minutes of Questlove's documentary about SNL's 50-year musical history. It is, quite simply, the best beginning to a musical documentary I have ever seen. Enjoy: loom.ly/v6m2h7w

I’m not on twitter/x anymore but I still have a threads account & it is so full of AI slop & disinformation - like an online national enquirer. I don’t understand why valid companies or brands are on there and not here. There may be junk here but it’s not force fed & easy to block.
