Papas' Song About Mackenzie Gets New, Creepy Meaning

After incest claims, recently unearthed Phillips song sounds seriously inappropriate

Share

(Newser) – Now that Mackenzie Phillips has revealed her incestuous relationship with papa John, the songs he wrote about her take on a whole new meaning. Especially “She’s Just 14,” which includes the lyric that gave Phillips the title for her book High on Arrival, E! notes. Suddenly, lines like “There isn’t much she hasn’t seen” and “She ‘did it’ in a limousine” seem decidedly more disturbing. Listen at the link below.

Anyone else think this may be bullshit to sell books? I'm not sold either way but this seems a little hard to swallow and anyone who knows anything about drug addicts will tell you they are not above making lies to get what they want. Reply

Agreed. Addicts are very good at lying. I can say from first hand experience, they only get better as time goes on.

I tend to agree. A broke drug addict who nobody will hire has got to sell what she has, and what she has is a famous father. I've got no clue what happened, but I'm always suspicious of anybody who waits till somebody is dead to start telling tales about them. At the very least it's gutless.

10 years seems like a long time to be that disgusting for both parties. This publicity will buy her drugs for life.
