About this episode

Allan Arkush discusses his extensive career in television and film, his love for music, and his experiences with the Grateful Dead.

Cosmic Lion Radio is back and we have an absolutely amazing guest. Director and Producer of over 400 TV shows (Timecop, Heroes, Moonlighting) and films (Rock 'n' Roll High School, Get Crazy, Heartbeeps), Fillmore East employee, and Deadhead Allan Arkush joins us. We talk about his history as a music lover, seeing all the shows i DREAM about seeing, his friendship with Jerry Garcia, the fusion of music and film and so much more!! It was such an honor to speak with Allan and our time went by WAY too fast. I didn't even get to ask him about working with Andy Kaufman!! WHAT! Maybe we can get a part 2 going soon. This is episode 65 and the Grateful Dead started in 1965 so I am embarking on a ten episode journey into the history of the Grateful Dead as well as my own personal history with the band. So excited and hope you'll join me!
