Listen Later

The documentary filmmaker Michelle Esrick (“Saint Misbehavin: The Wavy Gravy Movie”, “Cracked Up”) makes her first appearance on the podcast to discuss an upcoming event she is hosting: Wavy Gravy’s 90th Birthday celebration. The event will take place on Wavy’s 90th birthday which is May 15th, 7PM, at the Presidio Theatre in San Francisco. The Q&A following the screening will include Michelle and Wavy, as well as Wavy’s wife Jahanara Romney and Dr. Larry Brilliant. It will be moderated by author Bob Santelli.

Wavy Gravy is known as the MC of the Woodstock festival, a hippie icon, activist, clown, and even a Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavor. In “Saint Misbehavin'” we meet a true servant to humanity who carries his message through humor, compassion, and a song he wrote called “Basic Human Needs”. The film weaves together intimate vérité footage, reflections from an array of cultural and counter-cultural peers, and a rich collection of never-before-seen archival footage to tell a story that is bigger than the man himself.
