212. MOBY GRAPE’S PETER LEWIS PART 3 (GRAPE EXPECTATIONS EPISODE 9)

45 minutes

Welcome to Part 3, and the final installment of my conversation with Peter Lewis, a one-of-a-kind discussion that leapfrogs incessantly from one shocking revelation to the next. Here’s just a few of the many things that Peter discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

That time he took psilocybin with some hit men;

How he was hoodwinked into participating in the 20 Granite Creek project;

Robert Plant’s favorite Moby Grape song;

What he did during his 1971-1977 self-ordained “Wandering Phase”;

An almost unbearably intense retelling of the Skip Spence monastery exorcism tale;

The Moby Grape album that was mainly an excuse to vacuum up as much cocaine as was humanly possible;

And a full rundown of the circumstances behind The Real Potato’s shelving (Director’s Cut only).
