The Great Hollywood Hangover ...

Lee's interview with Nancy Deedrick is currently in rotation on the commercial free Pluto Radio stream.   It is an informal discussion about life on the Sunset Strip back in the sixties and seventies.  Ms. Deedrick's website is titled THE GREAT HOLLYWOOD HANGOVER (http://www.hollywoodhangover.com/)  Nancy shares stories of what it was like living on the Strip in the mid to late sixties and early seventies.  The Whiskey Go Go, The Roxy, The London Fog, The Classic Cat, The Body Shop...   Lee also includes an audio recording of Nancy and some friends getting tossed out of a motel for playing their guitars too loud - perhaps most notable, Mr. Joe Cocker.  The following is an excerpt from Nancy's website: "

If you hung out on "The Strip" in the sixties, then you know exactly what the "Hollywood Hangover" is. If you were not there, then you probably wish you had been, so here is where you'll find information about the people who lived in the grandest part of the world during the greatest era of them all. 

What I have read and seen so far about that period, would have given me the wrong impression, had I not lived there myself.  The Jim Morrison movie for instance, was disturbing--the way we were portrayed.  It was misleading. Whose impression was THAT?!  ...and oh so negative!  That's not the way I remember it, folks. 

I don't remember anything bad about the sixties. The bad stuff was minimal; and it's not something I ever want to zero in on like so many other writers have done.  Every movie, every documentary--all negative or sleazy.  We weren't angels, but we weren't offensive pigs, either. Our young people are being deprived of the truth, because they have been given a warped notion of what went on. I was there, and it was wonderful."

Reviews of Lee's interview with Nancy Deedrick..

Lee had the opportunity to interview the creator of the website: THE GREAT HOLLYWOOD HANGOVER for his show titled the Cosmic Egg Farm.  Ms. Nancy Deedrick is the author of the website that chronicles the people, places, and things on the Sunset Strip in the late sixties through the mid-seventies, a magical time, and, a magical place...  The website contains many stories and thoughts, shared by the people who were actually there.   The Whiskey Go Go, The Roxy, The London Fog, the Classic Cat, the Body Shop.  Along with notable stories of rockstars on the rise, and, less notable rockers who have, perhaps, fallen from view.  Relevant, honest, and interesting!

Callers to the station have rated this interview very positive.   Hearing the audio tape Nancy recorded while Joe Cocker gets tossed out of a motel room in Hollywood appears to be our listeners highlight moment.  Thanks for all the great comments on this Cosmic Egg Farm show.   Oh, and of course there were some complaints about Lee not starting the show with the traditional barrage of barn yard animals from "the farm", however, we assure you, no doubt they will make an appearance in the next episode of The Cosmic Egg Farm.   We are grateful to play this interview here on the commercial free Pluto Radio stream!

Darryl said that all the hippies lived on top of the buildings down Sunset, everything changed the day the Buffalo Springfield song hit the airwaves , what a field day for the heat. I've attached 3 photos Darryl, me and the base player, and my best majik shot of "you know who" in the park under the bridge in Frisco.
