About this episode

The episode explores the final days and legacy of Arthur Lee, featuring insights from Joe Kennedy on the band's history and Arthur's last recordings.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with podcast OG Joe Kennedy about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output, with commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release, including long-form interviews with both Johnny Echols and the members of Baby Lemonade, who’ve served as Love now for coming up on 35 years. 7 & 7 & 7 Is: The Definitive 21-Episode Story Of Arthur Lee & Love was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the almighty Love. Part 21 was initially intended as the final episode to Discograffiti’s Love series (it’s now the penultimate). Astoundingly, the insanity does not stop here…if anything, it’s jacked up a few notches before Arthur takes flight once and for all. Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: Arthur’s medical maladies, along with his reluctance to talk about them with everyone in his life; An inside scoop about what Arthur was capable of versus what he was releasing; The details behind the incredibly chaotic final tour planned…
