Was "Hippy" short of hypocrite?

[Danno 1,228]

The more we know about the "Flower children" the more we DON"T want to know.

This dysfunctional bunch... though often meaning well, falls so far short of the myth they have created for themselves.

I'm thinkin as the last balding poneytailed one passes, someone from another generation will expose the hypocrisy and fraud that was the 60's generation and their legacy.

Mackenzie Phillips says she had sex with her dad

CHICAGO (AP) - Former child star Mackenzie Phillips said Wednesday her father, John Phillips, who was a leader of the 1960s pop group the Mamas and the Papas, raped her when she was a teenager and that her sexual relationship with him later became what she termed "consensual."

Mackenzie Phillips writes in her new book, "High on Arrival," that she had sex with her father on the night before she was to get married in 1979 at age 19, according to People magazine.

Phillips wrote in her book: "I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father."

She told "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in an interview that aired Wednesday that her siblings "definitely have a problem with this." Winfrey also read a statement from Genevieve Waite, John Phillips' wife at the time of the alleged abuse and Mackenzie's stepmother that said he was "incapable, no matter how drunk or drugged he was, of having such a relationship with his own child."

Phillips, who starred on TV's "One Day at a Time," said the sexual relationship with her father lasted a decade and ended when she became pregnant and didn't know who had fathered the child. She had an abortion, which her father paid for, and "and I never let him touch me again."

Phillips told Winfrey that she first tried cocaine when she was 11 years old. Her father did drugs with her, taught her to roll joints and injected her with cocaine. Phillips said she's been clean for a year after pleading guilty to possessing cocaine and entering a drug treatment program.

Phillips said the sexual relationship, although she believes it became consensual, was "an abuse of power" and "a betrayal" on her father's part. She said she forgave John Phillips on his deathbed.

"I can't be the only one this has happened to," Phillips said. "Someone needs to put a face on consensual incest."

one f##ked up family does not define a whole group of people..over-generalization, sheesh

I think incest is one of those things that is talked about a lot more than it happens.

[HAL 9000 96]

Really sickening and a Wednesday Dannologic FAIL all in one post. Bravo.

Is this what it takes to sell books today?

Pretty much.

Danno must live in a world of flapping lace curtains, where everyone is up in everyone else's business and playing chinese whispers with the rumours.

Yeah Danno. Perhaps you didn't get the memo. One example generalisations are only allowed to be implied by the left.

Oops! Did I say generalisations! OH NO!

I would be surprised if Ms. Phillips had enough brain cells left to actually complete a sentence, let alone write a book.

All this speculation certainly won't prompt me to buy her new book.

I can never figure out why people want to spread stories like these.... true or not. If it in fact did occur, counselling should be her best bet.

Wasn't she the one who fingered Mick Jag. as having a crack at her when she was like 14?

What people do with their lives are up to them but unfortunately we drags kids through our life.... be it good or bad.

The reason I slam the Flower-child myth is because all the people I personally know in my life who identified with this lifestyle had much of this same type of ####### they put kids through. (though this is an extreme case).

Like it or not, very few of these Hippy-Icons have lived a healthy life in any sense of the word.
