Day 18: A song from the year you were born

"Difference" - #Mama Cass (1970)

Being born in 1970 meant that any authentic 60’s counterculture that was still around during my childhood had to be understood through the depressively distorting, earth-toned lens that was the 70’s. But that doesn't mean these lingering bits were horrible. In fact, I'm drawn to those sometimes desperate, often exploitative, end-of-hippie relics more often than to the OG Summer of Love stuff itself. Like this little song here: written by b-movie soundtrack composer Charles Fox for the (H.R.) #PufnStuf film, it's #CassElliot playing Witch Hazel singing lyrics that still make a lot of sense today.
