210B. BREAKDOWN & OAR: SNEAK PEEK OF MOBY GRAPE BIOGRAPHER CAM COBB ON SKIP SPENCE (PART 3) (GRAPE EXPECTATIONS EPISODE 6)
Episode 6 of our Grape Expectations Series features Moby Grape & Skip Spence biographer Cam Cobb detailing Skip’s June 1968 mental breakdown, as he grabs a fire axe and goes after drummer Don Stevenson. That error in judgment lands him in Bellevue for six months, and upon his release he heads to Nashville with his family to create his groundbreaking solo album Oar. Here’s just a few of the many things that Cam discusses with Discograffiti in Part 3 of our discussion:Exactly what happened when Skip lost the plot;As much info as is available on the mysterious Joanna Wells, the witchy woman who seemed to be at least partially responsible for Skip’s overnight transformation;The creepy details of Don’s visit to Joanna’s Greenwich Village pad;A peek inside Bellevue, as somehow Skip experiences his most inspired creative surge;And a track-by-track breakdown of not just Oar, but every released moment in the 3-CD AndOarAgain box set collection!There’ll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti’s Patreon.
