Love Is The Author

This episode features Jaymee’s once-in-a-lifetime conversation with artist Dan Richter—immortalized as Moonwatcher in Stanley Kubrick’s cinematic masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey, a role he not only performed but choreographed while in the grip of heroin addiction. Dan takes us behind the eyes of one of cinema’s most iconic figures and into the astonishing life that followed. From 1969 to 1973, he served as John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s assistant and artistic collaborator—and is credited with taking the iconic cover photograph for Lennon’s first solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. Through Dan’s intimate recollections, we encounter John, Yoko, and Kubrick not as legends, but as people. His extraordinary journey placed him among some of the most influential artists and visionaries of the 20th century, including The Beatles, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Harry Smith, and Ram Dass—all while Dan emerged as a potent artist in his own right. He also shares the remarkable story of his 42 years of sobriety, which began when John and Yoko created an improvised rehabilitation sanctuary for him inside their home at Tittenhurst Park. For Beatles, Kubrick, and counterculture devotees who think they already know the story: sit back and prepare for your software update.

Keith Slettedahl is an American songwriter/musician and lead singer of the pop rock band The 88 who perform the opening theme to the Emmy Award winning sitcom Community. He's  played with legendary artists like Ray Davies, Elliott Smith, Elvis Costello, The Zombies and The Flaming Lips, but what most people don't know about the charismatic frontman is that he's a spiritual giant posing as a householder, who's lived the past 24 years sober on a steady diet of "not knowing". Keith is mentor of Jaymee's, a close friend and music collaborator. The two gentlemen discuss the creative power of humility, the mechanism of mentorship, the miracle of 12 Step Recovery, playing Kinks songs with Ray Davies, and the unlikely book that not only cured his debilitating back pain, but ushered in a revolution of the mind.
