Mehr Psychedelic Women

Producer/Host, Rainbow Valentine was born into the inner circle of the San Francisco counterculture which didn’t seem unusual until she grew up and discovered not everyone’s family and friends were pot smugglers, rock stars and artists activating for peace, justice and equality. Rainbow Valentine’s mom, her friend’s moms and her mom’s friends were the bedrock of the world famous 1960’s counterculture - they were the first women in history to have access to (and take advantage of) The Pill, LSD and Rock’n’Roll. Psychedelic Women: Conversations with the Women of the Counterculture reveals never-before recorded stories of the sex, drugs and rock’n’roll of the paradigm-shifting 1960’s American counterculture.

Psychedelic Women: Conversations with the Women of the Counterculture Ep 12: Dusty Street, The Radio Revolutionary

Before she became one of the first female DJ’s in America, Dusty Street was babysat by San Francisco’s most iconic Madam, Sally Stanford and the brothel’s cook, Juanita, who became the Bay Area’s most colorful restauranteur.  These historic women and Dusty’s Communist/cocktail waitress mom taught Dusty to be a badass trailblazer who was on the air continuously for over 30 years.    Host, Rainbow Valentine interviewed Dusty Street before her death in 2017 and in this juicy, sex, drugs and rock’n’roll packed episode, Dusty shares fascinating stories about growing up in Beatnik SF in the 1950s, her teen years in Palo Alto hanging out with the future Grateful Dead, the rise of her historic DJ career, her illegal abortion, her Mexican run-in with the counterculture’s most notorious one-handed smuggler, the Trips Festival of 1966, the Summer of Love, her encounters with murderous music titans and rock stars, her marriage to RV’s sister’s babydaddy, LSD, the Pill, cocaine, plus the history of Kotex, Pop Tarts and much more.

Episode Psychedelic Women: Smuggler Family Album Ep 8: Greed, Loss and Psychedelic Robin Hoods Cover

Psychedelic Women: Smuggler Family Album Ep 8: Greed, Loss and Psychedelic Robin Hoods

You can’t buy your way into the inner circle counterculture - you behave your way in; plus what’s difference between outlaws and criminals?  In this hybrid episode, host, Rainbow Valentine talks counterculture greed, loss, trust and betrayal with her psychedelic pioneer mom, Kathy Mason Lerner (subject of eps 1 – 6) and Kira and Jasper Thelin, whose family opened the first headshop in America.  RV’s mom tells us about Janis Joplin’s best friend/costumer, Linda Gravenites, the ex of Nick Gravenites, who was RV’s mom’s 3rd husband’s drug-dealing partner. Plus, a bag of stolen bling, a smuggler named Anchovy, Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart’s ex and that’s just the first 20 minutes of this psychedelic soap opera.  Next, we hear the story of the visionary boy scout who burned $100 dollar bills aka Ron Thelin, who, along with his wife, Marcia and brother, Jay, started the Psychedelic Shop on Haight Street.  Ron’s kids, Kira and Jasper Thelin, tell us about their dad and uncle: all-American brothers intent on creating a free and equal society by becoming Psychedelic Robin Hoods with a counterculture Craigslist. We get into the Diggers, the Death of Hippie, psychedelic art, the theft of the Thelin family crest and much more.  Because talking is medicinal and stories are weapons.

Psychedelic Women: Smuggler Family Album Ep 7: Truth is the Only Thing I Remember

Don’t everyone’s parents have smuggler friends who disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle? In the subculture host, Rainbow Valentine grew up in, yes, but the rest of the world, maybe not. And because of this, RV shares ho-hum lunch convos with her and her former pot-smuggler counterculture parents from the podcast, Disorganized Crime. In this trio of Lunch with the Lemurs, RV's parents tell us true stories of missing smugglers, a power-crystal shaman, a San Francisco smuggler soiree, the most infamous Mill Valley cop of the 80’s, plus RV’s dad’s love of Costco, the hippie kid’s carob conundrum and that time RV’s parents took LSD and mistakenly went hot-tubbing with a motorcycle gang.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode Psychedelic Women: Conversations with the Women of the Counterculture: Ep 11: The Dancing Detective Cover

Psychedelic Women: Conversations with the Women of the Counterculture: Ep 11: The Dancing Detective

Before she was a 17 year old groundfloor member of the 1960's San Francisco counterculture, Rosie McGee was the child of French Holocaust survivors who, after WW2, flipped a coin on where to emigrate and as Rosie says, “I won” because San Francisco in the early 60’s was a city of beatniks melding into hippies – the perfect place for a teenage detective to become a psychedelic woman.  Before she wrote her memoir, Dancing with the Dead, Rosie McGee was Florence Nathan, a naïve, theater enthusiast who lived a double life, secret from her conservative French parents who had no idea their daughter’s job with Big Daddy Tom Donahue would lead her into the arms of comedian, Lenny Bruce, Grateful Dead bassist, Phil Lesh and to the Far East with the SF counterculture’s most infamous smuggler.  This episode unpacks true stories of the Muir Beach Acid Test, the Human Be In,  Janis Joplin, The Coffee Gallery, The Committee, the Warlocks and more.
