Part 15 covers a hard-partying era during the early 1970s when Arthur’s life started to spin wildly out of control.

Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

* The two months during which Arthur had a major label deal, and what he did with that opportunity;
* Whether or not the music created during that time was even intended for human ears (or any other species, for that matter);
* Arthur’s transition into shooting co***ne;
* That time he called the cops…on himself;
* A new slew of material that trumpeted his new vegetarian lifestyle;
* Arthur’s continuing insistence on sing-song vengeance tunes written for backstabbing friends;
* And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Dear You (a.k.a. Love Lost) and Arthur’s solo debut Vindicator.

60 years ago, Bob Dylan was branded “JUDAS!” by a show attendee named John Cordwell at Manchester Free Trade Hall, for one of the five great concerts ever played in history. I played my bootleg of the event more frequently than any of his commercially released records except perhaps for Blood On The Tracks, until it finally was made publicly available. If this is the sound of being a movement being stabbed in the back, then bring on the traitors.

Part 14 covers the Hendrix-heavy moves of the False Start era, as Arthur’s Love greeted the new decade with his spirited take on the funk-inflected hard rock of the time, yet another large stylistic move away from the Forever Changes era that his fans so desperately craved.

Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

* The rekindling of Arthur’s friendship with his old buddy Jimi Hendrix only months before his death;
* Details about the session during which Jimi joined Love, and what was played;
* The major similarities—and glaring differences—between Arthur & Jimi;
* The band that Arthur and Jimi were supposedly planning on assembling before his untimely passing;
* The crumbling of this next line-up, as the substance imbibing begin to gain steam in Arthur’s life;
* That time Arthur got arrested for zapping people with a cattle prod;
* And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off False Start.
