In the Mamas and Papas "Creeque Alley", the lyrics are " McGuinn and McGuire are still getting higher, in LA you know where thats at". I want to know who is McGuire is. I know McGuinn formed the Byrds.

I remember them well. Also remember Eve of Destruction - it's making me so old now.

Well thank you all for that, I remember Barry McGuires' "Eve of Destruction" very well. I would not have associated him with the Mamas and Papas. I have been reading about him on Wikipedia.
