Love’s official biographer John Einarson tells David Hepworth the star-crossed tale of the band who made the least psychedelic album of the psychedelic era. Their conversation takes in:
….Lee’s growing up between Memphis and L.A., dealing with the problems of looking more like Johnny Mathis than Otis Redding.
….how being indulged as a youngster by his family made him a tyrant as a band leader.
….growing up with a prodigious musical talent but without the mastery of a single instrument.
….refusing to put up with the inconvenience of touring and bearing personal grudges which prevented him taking up life-changing offers.
….their competition with The Doors, who would do all the things that Love wouldn’t.
…how Arthur Lee heard Forever Changes in his head and how he transferred that knowledge to an arranger who’d never heard a pop record.
….why Brian Wilson, John Sebastian and Arthur Lee “never got past 1967”.
….the gun charges that put Arthur Lee in jail and the third act he enjoyed when he came out.
