"The legendary¹ band was the brains behind the trailblazing Monterey International Pop Festival."

40th anniversary², a new CD featuring music from the stars of the concert is out now. Joining us right now, who gave us a free CD, I think we have to divide and share it, I guess. Mama herself, Michelle Phillips, welcome, Miss Phillips, I should say? ”

"Everyone in captivity⁵ has heard of that song before. You know what, Michelle, I want to look at a picture of you now. And I want to look at a picture of when you were a young girl."

"Ok, there you are."

"And I wonder what advice you would give to that young girl now, having lived a life that you've lived, looking back and stopping her from bad..?"

"You've just mentioned film, is it true they are gonna make a movie about you guys?"

"I think so."

"Really? That'll be really cool."

"It's the inside scoop⁹, today on Fox & Friends, and it has a lot to do with the book that you wrote, California Dream, and back in 1996, and others are saying, um, this was the true story; maybe we should …..”

"It is a great story, and it is a funny story, and, you, it is kind of an unbelievable story, (right.) because it is really more about the relationships between the four people, and er, and you know the fact that, that we went from the studio (right.) to the Hollywood Bowl, I mean, (Amazing.) we never wait, that’s where we started our, that's the place of ....."

"Forget the little club's turn, talk about the California Dream."
