[MUSIC] 2000's "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)"

[rfmcdonald]

There was one oddly familiar song at Woody's Friday night. The other one was Sir Ivan's techno remix of Scott McKenzie's 1967 international hint single "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)", a vaguely unsettling hard-edged techno remix of that hippie anthem. I could write at length about how this remix is a good stand-in for the collapse and cannibalization of the old hi[ppie dream almost forty years after the fact, but it would be entirely clichéd. I'm not sure if I like this version of the song, for just these non-music reasons.
