'MONTEREY POP' w/ Clare O'Kane

This week, we are joined by actor, writer & comedian CLARE O’KANE (whose latest comedy album, Everything I Know How To Do, was released on Eugene Mirman’s record label) about the classic 1968-directed film MONTEREY POP! We discuss Clare’s Bay Area upbringing and being too uptight to be a hippie, our history with comedy records and what its like for Clare to make one, we share our weirdo pre-flight rituals, why the Grateful Dead didn’t want to be in the finished film and other performances that were cut out of it, the shocking lack of beards in the film, the optimism in the audience compared to two years later with Gimme Shelter, watching the audience experience Jimi Hendrix, The Who and Janis Joplin for the first time, who was the only artist to get paid at this charity event, how the film came together and how Paul Simon saved the concert from going under, the time Clare opened for Jawbreaker, the weirdo factor of San Francisco bands, David Crosby’s talking bout the Kennedy assisination, how can we Boogie and Choogle, how the song White Rabbit ruined the Jefferson Airplane for us and our acting turns that involved using this song, Godard’s seeing Jefferson Airplane in this movie and then filming them rocking out on a rooftop for his film 1am One American Movie, crying at live shows, Otis Redding’s incredible performance captured here, what would be the best band from this festival to have sex too, Chris spills the beans on an unreleased episode of RPM and much more!

So let's laugh directly into the sun on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!
