Do you like music? How about drugs? Bohemian living? Getting crabs from a member of the Mamas and the Papas? Oh boy do we have a fun ep for you this week! Comedy sweetheart Dan Lippert dropped by to discuss the so-called Laurel Canyon Scene of the late 60's and early 70's, and how it relates to the anti-war movement in America. See, Dan's got a nasty suspicion that the CIA stuck their witchy little fingers in and encouraged the growth of a chill, drugged-out music scene as an alternative to the growing anti-Vietnam war protests that were starting to become a real problem for the government. And yes - Dan, Alexis, and Katelyn all talk about their favorite chill-ass folk musicians. PS - Patreon subscribers get access to a little bonus content music playlist this week, so if you wanna see it you gotta subscribe!
