This week we’re picking up my previous conversation with filmmaker David Weissman, who started off in hippie enclaves of Los Angeles in the 1960s before moving up to San Francisco for the particularly adventurous 70s. In this part of our chat, we touch on SF’s counterculture scene, the music and nightlife, and also the political upheaval that soon followed.
Just as we were starting to talk about the 1980s … our connection momentarily dropped out. And when we picked up, David asked to pause the interview, because it was going in a direction that he wanted to reconsider. So you’re about to hear our conversation up to about that point, and then I’ll pop back in to explain what happened next.
