Ron “Pigpen” McKernan (Episode 6): Coming Down from One Long Strange Trip, Awakening to a New Nightmare, and Shooting up a Led Zep Photo Shoot

Though Ron “Pigpen” McKernan continued to feel like he was being pushed out of the Grateful Dead’s creative circle, he could still make an impression. Just ask Led Zeppelin, who got an up-close and personal look at Pig’s .22-caliber pistol. The fear that they felt standing next to what seemed like, to them, to be an American cowboy in the flesh was dwarfed months later…by the fear and violence that ran rampant at the Altamont Speedway.

This episode contains content that may be disturbing to some listeners and includes graphic depictions of violence.

Jim Morrison Episode 11: Falling out of Windows, Rioting in the Streets, and Descending into Darkness

Jim Morrison’s supposedly relaxing sojourn to Paris is more tumultuous than he had planned. He gets caught up in the heroin that Pam procures from The Count, and can’t help disrupting the norm – whether it’s falling from his apartment window or getting caught up in student riots in the streets. And then Jimbo shows up, leading to more debauchery, hallucinations, and a descent into an underground world that may prove to be deadly.
