    This song fills me with a yearning deep in my soul. I was a teenager living across the bay from San Francisco in 68 and it was such a hopeful, optimistic time. The peace sign/symbol is imprinted in my mind. We have well and truly lost our way now.

      😀The car wash and repair shop hangs the machine on the wall to create vibrations. Every day they find ways to torture and create vibrations... Reporting to local authorities in an area, they were ignored and saw that the Head of the Hoa Nui Department was scared. There are a lot of them who use tricks to destroy reputation, management tricks, arrangement tricks, tricks to destroy the customer base that the profession has, destroy the channels that bring in money, and take away the need to bring food into their hands. Use the tactic of using daaan to beat daaan, use a car wash official, a screwdriver to create vibrations and hang it on the wall, then all of them pretend to be good and throw it to the fish. 🤩The car wash man is a villain who, along with many of his brothers, set a trap to trick gastroesophageal reflux, just because he was greedy for money and wanted a nice house and good location for my husband and me. Newspaper Tr shook B Si's hand. Create a friendship first with a healthy, wealthy target, advise noooij ssoi, drink soo powder. Reduced stomach probiotics. Next, link Facebook to the RUclips channel of 'Do Duc Ngoc, Khi Cong Dao' to advise people to drink red sugar, creating a chain of abuse, leading them to the end.
      Dear Buddhists and the general public, the noodle shop encroached on the sidewalk. Hun Hun's honeycomb charcoal stove moved. The car wash mandarin rented a shop that moved next to my house and in the past 3 months, he has appointed 2 workers to build a stolen toilet and a waste water pipe along with a defecation pipe. Combined with them, many cars on the road honked their horns, air horns, the rented car wash shop next to my house hung 2 air compressors to create high-intensity vibrations, squeezed the screwdriver, pointed the screwdriver in the air and squeezed to create noise. At high intensity, other high noise causes children, my children, to vomit and have diarrhea. They forced the rice bowls to be transferred back to their shareholders, the beneficiaries needed to fish for clothes, the magic was like a witch changing, calling the rain and calling the wind to deceive and create their own fortune. Nhaaan was truly thanks to the 290 brothers who worked together. , set traps, set traps and follow occupations to deceive prey. The car wash officer made a vibration and said that it was from the 5th shop, H did not Viet z. The prey was forced to obey, forcing me to do **SAY, say, the yellow lid and then the black lid**, creating a continuous game. Making noise, creating vibration, FORCING to accuse, Report it to the top. The top dumps the bottom, the bottom tells the bottom to successfully destroy the fishing rod, the shirt, and steal my children's childhood Thanks to the majority of bullies, they create their own laws, bring about their bright legs, courage, and wisdom Causing esophageal reflux to honk the air horn, the car wash officer hangs a wall-mounted vibrator 2 is to steal a dark toilet, the defecation pipe is shared with the exhaust pipe, honk the horn and the car repairman attacks to create vibration 2. Step 3 is to park the car close to the waiting car, close the door strongly and create vibrations, causing the attacked victim to try to write down, encourage themselves, write down on the head They have many names to try to deceive the language, and if the language is not written correctly, it is a violation. But if you follow the greedy tip and write about the greedy synthetic toilet, creating vibrations and the garbage truck's air horn, then it will become a dispute.* A dispute will arise between my house and the newly built greedy toilet. .* You said, they will destroy my house, teleport back to your hand, and eat the wrong side of Flip. "Eat my house" My husband and I's house is a level 4 house, the house has a favorable location, is very beautiful and solid for business (disagreeing with wanting to buy my house at a cheap price led to the leaking of personal information, leaving the backyard, they are greedy, hungry, thirsty) Most of the minions deceived me. They use tricks to sabotage farmers' homes, turning families who are good at business and have money into a subordinate, subservient position. They are hungry for free food at my house, jealous of what my husband and I have, talking greedily, spinning, spinning, most of them cooing, glaring and whistling **slandering me as Chi Peo "Hoang Mang" is paranoia. "** Enjoying a bowl of rice and a bowl of gold like Ba Kiens's brothers and sisters, he continued to say for a long time. Many years ago, he tricked his mother, kicked the rice fishing rod and pretended to give her a fish, but her mother still fed her until she was full. , slandering and defaming my mother, Chi Peo, has been creating Hoang Mang for many years. Many high-ranking people and noble people have advised me that they edited, distorted, and cheated In this area, the high-ranking person pointed to Ba Kiens as Chi Use Meo, the area took advantage of the maids and curses, so the magic changed unpredictably, all of them created the law nhaaan quarr Thanks to bullying, he became greedy. Thaaan transformed himself to the level of standing behind, throwing stones and hiding his hands, calling for rain and wind, asking the crowd to set traps.
      I love my child who has insomnia, and lack of sleep due to noise, vibration, and air horn, so I wrote it down 3 times. All three times I wrote the downn near the river or when I was about to submit the downn, it rained heavily, very heavily. So I didn't fall into the trap again
      They almost pushed my happy husband and I back into the basement, into a helpless, near-dissolve situation. Uncle Re Dung Meo Tri, head of the 29th noon, told the secret that thanks to the relationship and encouragement of his brothers, there were more than 100 cars with air horns, modified air horns, honking, waiting at the right time. He was Chi Tri's uncle. Dung Meo pretended to be the Ba Kiens area taking advantage of the maids and monsters with transformation magic in an area of ​​Ta*Thanh Oai. Because he was afraid of falling into a trap, being tricked, having a rope stuck in his nose, implicating his wife and children. A group of 6 people sent a junior member of the zalo group of 290 brothers and sisters to tease my wife and children. Creating noise and vibrations forced me to take my children back to the countryside to catch up on sleep and I became a vegetarian to heal myself (they cheated), then a soldier from a group of 290 brothers and sisters tried to flirt with my wife.
      If you don't listen, you will be pressured and banned by them, but if you and your wife listen, everything will be more unpredictable than before and will become an unruly situation, the rule of family discrimination, class discrimination. .
      Car wash officials find ways to set traps to deceive, pretend to be good, and want to seduce talented, wealthy, gentle, hard-working people, and then a lot of magicians behind them pull the strings of the henchmen who want to take advantage of them. forever to become Mr. Tham, Mr. An, Mr. Tham, Tham and then dribble, rick, repeat, put a rope in his nose, lead him, point his finger at the position, turning into a black night society. They reduced gas to reduce air conditioner cooling for 2 consecutive years.

    Scott died on Saturday August 18th 2012 in Los Angeles. It was a warm beautiful day. I was at a beach bar drinking and enjoying life with friends. All of a sudden a girl came in and as she sat down with her friends at the table next to us I heard her say "hey everyone did you hear Scott Mckenzie died today?" I was stunned. In an instant I was back at UC Berkeley and off to his concert. All those memories. I just sat there alone with my thoughts and cried.

In the 2022 I still listen to the music of 70's,80's,90's. I'm sick of nostalgia 😔. Maybe it's cause today music is meaningless.

      Same. I'm 30 (born in 1992). The song takes me to an idealized era that is impossimple to reach again. San Francisco will never again be a cheap, care-free place of experimentation, and classical liberalism. I find myself wistfully holding onto this notion that I've never experienced and know we never will again. I love it all the same.

      Nathan Abrantes Don't believe any sweeping generalizations about hippies. They were humans, and so came in all manner of human strength and fragility and failing. I grew up around a lot of adults who were part of that movement and many were really fine, kinship oriented, community loving, do-gooders who weren't just about drugs and whatnot. Many committed their lives to trying to make the world a better place. I am so happy that they influenced my childhood and education. And there was a whole lotta love and beauty in most of that music.

      Nathan Abrantes . It was a special time to live. I was born in '55, and the only way I could describe growing up in the 60's is this : everything seemed 'new', much like the spring time of a 4 season Turning. ( spring, summer, fall and winter ) I think that we ( collectively ) are in the winter time of the 4 seasons and much like winter, things are cold, survival of the fittest. And nothing grows.( great book on generational turnings titled : The Fourth Turning )

      Julie thank you so so much for your very well written comment . It means a lot that you would take time out of your day to tell me about your early life . It’s fascinating to me to read about people’s lives and how everything was before me . I couldn’t imagine life without a microwave ! And I am young I am 18 almost 19 in about a month . I’ve always been a bit jealous of the freedom of being able to play with friends freely and go out on walks people had before . The world is much more dangerous today . I grew up having to learn that and feared a lot of things . Sadly I don’t connect very much with my era . And I will admit it makes me pretty sad sometimes . (I don’t want to be like those people who say “I wish I was born in a different generation” but I honestly wish I was) I spend everyday living as if I’m in any other era but this one . I don’t connect with people or many things of today . Which is why I don’t have any friends . I’m alone all the time and spend all the time at home in my room . I can’t remember the last time I really went out with friends . I’d rather spend my time listening to my Carpenters record or whatever I have at hand and drawing . Or watching documentaries about the the 70’s or whatever year , Woodstock , anything just as long as it isn’t from this era . But there are maybe a FEW gems from this era like RUclips , some of the tv shows , and a little bit of music that I can carry with me until my later years . :) thank you , I too hope you have many years of happiness and longevity of life . Your comment has made my night . ❤️

    Scott Mckenzie may have had a few albums, yet he and his song San Francisco were definitely a pivotal time and moment in the 60s.

    What a wonderful and harmonic Song that is the kind of music, that gives my Heart and Soul peace in times where a 3 World War might be approaching, this music spreads a message about Love and Happiness and Peace, and we shoulds spread this Message as well.

    This song has always been one of my favourites. Yes, a lot of emotions but beautifully sang.
