"There's so much talk about the drug generation and songs about drugs. That's stupid. They aren't songs about drugs; they're about life"

- Cass Elliot

About this Quote

In this quote, Cass Elliot is revealing her disappointment with the continuous focus on drugs in pop culture. She believes that labeling songs as "tunes about drugs" is oversimplifying and missing out on the point. To her, these songs are not almost drugs, however about the complexities of life. They are a reflection of the battles, delights, and experiences that people go through. By minimizing them to simply being about drugs, we are neglecting the much deeper significance and message behind the music. Elliot is advising us to look beyond the surface area and see the bigger picture in these songs.
