Sewers of Paris: It Was Completely Weird (Ep 415 - David/Grateful Dead)
🕑 Added 2023-02-02 19:31:48 +0000 UTCThis week we’re picking up my previous conversation with filmmaker David Weissman, who started off in hippie enclaves of Los Angeles in the 1960s before moving up to San Francisco for the particularly adventurous 70s. In this part of our chat, we touch on SF’s counterculture scene, the music and nightlife, and also the political upheaval that soon followed.
Just as we were starting to talk about the 1980s … our connection momentarily dropped out. And when we picked up, David asked to pause the interview, because it was going in a direction that he wanted to reconsider. So you’re about to hear our conversation up to about that point, and then I’ll pop back in to explain what happened next.

These conversations are pure gold to me. I was a gay high school kid in the mid-1970s Bay Area and recall all of these events. When George Moscone and Harvey Milk were assassinated my high school announced that school would be let out early. Jones Town too was a huge event at that time, and of course AIDs shook us to our core in the 80s. Thank you, Matt and David for sharing this discussion with us. David has a marvelous perspective. Looking forward to next week.
