Episode 343 - Larry Livermore (The Lookouts, Lookout Records, The Potatomen)

Hats off to Larry, because he is giving us a monster of an episode! Join Damian as he sits down with Lookout Records, Lookout zine and The Lookouts band impresario: Larry Livermore! From answering John Lennon’s calls at White Panther headquarters, to Lookout’s accidental funding, to how the weed/acid divide led to strife in the scene, to the hippies in SF finding punk: THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED! 

Also, don’t miss Larry’s two fantastic books as well a ton of his music on Don Giovanni Records now!!!!
