"San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" is a song, written by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, and sung by Scott McKenzie. It was written and released in June 1967 to promote the Monterey Pop Festival.
McKenzie's song became an instant hit. The lyrics tell the listeners, "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair". Due to the difference between the lyrics and the actual title, the title is often quoted as "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)". "San Francisco" reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and was number one in the United Kingdom and most of Europe. The single is purported to have sold over 5 million copies worldwide. The song is credited with bringing thousands of young people to San Francisco, California during the late 1960s.[citation needed]
In Central Europe, young people adopted "San Francisco" as an anthem for freedom, and it was widely played during Czechoslovakia's 1968 Prague Spring uprising against Soviet rule.[citation needed]
The song has been featured in several films, including Frantic, The Rock and Forrest Gump (Wikipedia).

Im sure there are ... Im sure there are some preps somewhere in Texas, I havent met any though, Ive heard of them and Ive got to say out lack of preppy people is a good? thing lol
You would probably meet some if you went ot Austin or Houston, that entire area has had insane numbers of immigrants from California and the north eastern US, Yankees as we in Texas call them lol
Here in small towns and semi rural communities, men act like men, women act like women and the sky is blue, just as nature intended lol

lol what a view ... lol what a view point maybe that's why there all flamboyant just to show there not the manly men everybody expects them to be. but yea ur right flamboyant ppl in general are almost? as annoying as uber-preppy ppl i dnt think you have the annoying valley girls out there but preps are everywhere shivers
Hendrix in? ... Hendrix in? audience wow
Scott wrote? the ... Scott wrote? the song with John Phillips
I havent met any ... I havent met any gays who arent flamboyant but I know there around, I dont mind them thats why I cant say I dont like gays, if all there were was those flamboyant ones I would be anti gay lol
I dont have a problem with a? man or women being attracted to the same gender, because I realize many of them cannot help it and they were simply born that way. However I cannot stand flamboyant people in general, gay or other wise, here in Texas its deeply ingrained men should be men not prissy b***hes lol
well you just ... well you just havn't meet my gay friends yet ironically they? find those types of gays annoying as well.
see i found there's two types of gays the flamboyant ones who have to be noticed like you seen and the whatever ones like my friends who you couldn't tell was gay unless they told you.
but yeah im sorry for your bad experience
Gay supporters seem ... Gay supporters seem to support gays because its popular, I dont think there are very many gay supporters around that would still be marching it was unpopular lol
As I said I dont? care about gays either way, I dont like them and I dont dislike them, they just are.
Yall have the right to support them and the gay haters have the right to hate them.
We can all agree San Fransico is getting bad, ignorance and arrogance is rampant, everything is for status and the people are self rightous and rude
Here we go self ... Here we go self rightous Democrats acting supperior
So what if there gay bashing, its the United States they have the right to hate gays? just as you have the right to support them
I dont give a crap either way about gays
The gays Ive met are loud and irritateing, they dress in rainbow shirts and short jeans and complain about being treated differently.
I know they cant all be this bad so I dont hate gays but I havent met a gay I respect
Maybe you should get over the smell of your farts
Janis? Joplin :D Janis? Joplin :D
Janis Joplin :D? Janis Joplin :D?

I WISH I LIVE IN THOSE YEARS :(
Went on a cross ... Went on a cross country road trip to San Francisco 10 years ago with the girl I was supposed to marry. It was an amazing? time... 10 years later, we're both single and still talk, but now all she cares about is material things, money, shopping, Facebook, Twitter, reality tv, etc... Sad how some people get caught up in BS. She was a beautiful person
like? like?
Ok, give the man a ... Ok, give the man a beer and let him go home to see? 2%man
What a wonderful ... What a wonderful time in history; Folks getting together, making music, changing the world, speaking their minds. Today we are braindead, mindless zombies with no culture who? stare into phones and text all day. Sad.
i? was 13 years in ... i? was 13 years in 1967
great
And that's despite ... And that's despite all the vote count fraud, etc. The sad fact is that the USA is a one party state with two nearly identical wings to that party. Dr Paul represents the desire of the American? people to live in peace, prosperity and liberty, and I wish them well.
PEACE, MAN!

too bad Ron Paul ... too bad Ron Paul is? not likely to be President even if he ran as a Democrat. But he did better than I thought on the Republcian ticket.
Read the recent ... Read the recent false rapture/alien invasion prophecy from world renowned prophet Linda Newkirk.....very sobering warnings!
It is going to happen when the economy has collapsed and wars break out between nations.? Do not be deceived, it will be tempting to try and escape the chaos when preachers and televangelists tell you it is the return of Jesus.
