Host Dave Gebroe talks with OG Love mainstay Johnny Echols about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output (for 4 1/2 hours total), with commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings—from both Dave and Johnny—for every release. 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 12 is the sixth and final part of my first interview with Johnny, and it’s the part I always think of when I look back on our conversation.  Here are just a few of the many things that Johnny discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: How Johnny felt about all the Love records that came after Forever Changes; Johnny’s opinion on the damage that Arthur did to Love’s legacy with the later records;  Regrets over drug abuse; Johnny’s upcoming plans with Love; Johnny’s modest outlook on Love’s legacy; And a story about Jac Holzman at the very end that will be seared into my brain for the rest of time immemorial.   CONNECT Join our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153 Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/discograffiti Podfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Discograffiti Order the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.
