Yes, Cass is Ginormaus, yes this is cheesy 70s, but damn what a great rendition of a great song.

Mama Cass was the Lizzo of her day.

Hopefully, John isn't the pilot.

There’s a reason that John Denver was a star.

Of all the shite one can give Lizzo having a voice isn't one of them. My wife had some song on a couple of months ago, I wasn't really paying attention and don't know what the song was but she hit a pure G6 and my jaw dropped. I wasn't held like Christina Aguilera can hold a G6 but it was damn impressive given Lizzo's lower range.

I never understood how Denver was able to afford an actual Lear. I know he was successful but he didn’t have hundreds of millions.

Back then they weren’t that expensive. Plus it’s a business expense potentially and he may have had a loan on it.

Several things stand out watching that.

1. Adults acting like adults singing a thoughtful mature song about real life feelings.

2. Cass encourages people to vote, not about who to vote for, but vote for what you believe. Today they tell you what to think.

3. They actually sang that live without voice tricks.

4. They were truly talented.

Mama Cass did a lot of things not many others did. Not many heroin junkies were fat. Not many people died in the mid 70's, in their early 30's, from being fat.

You have to give her credit where due though. Even if she had never put on all of the extra pounds, she would have still been unattractive.

Cass Elliot died eating a fish sandwich.

She’s different than Lizzo in that Cass had talent and didn’t run around in public in a thong.

We saw Lizzo by accident at Voodoo before she blew up (in a fame sense, not weight) and she can play the shite out of a flute. Yeah she's overweight and twerks and is annoying, but that big bitch can play a flute
