Part 1 Interview with Gretchen Fetchin, Merry Pranksters, Ken Kesey, Magic bus

I was going to do a doc for the daughter of Paul Foster who was a Merry Prankster. So this interview was originally going to be for that film but for various reasons I will not be doing that film. So Gretchen talks about Paul some in this. Paul was not a very well known Prankster but he was as wacky as any of them if not more.

I was born on the night of the Stinson Beach Acid Test!! Been on the bus 🚌 ever since…

[@klimtklavier]

She was Fetchin' Gretchen The Slime Queen !!! She grabbed James McMurtry when he was three !!! (Bus pulled up at Larry McMurtry's house in TX...) she was tripping and missed her kids... James McMurtry is a singer/songwriter as talented as his dad is as a writer... Get Saint Mary of the Woods and listen to it ! XOXO - Yes my parents were hippies after my dad got out of the Navy in 1965... thanks for posting this !

didn't stark naked do that? and not the slime queen?

[@serberious]

It was stark naked who did that and not the slime queen.

[@Alligator6002]

Stark Naked did that. Not Gretch the wretch.

[@divinewind7405]

Defo not Gretchin Fetchin whom is documented doing that: it was Stark Naked.

Wow , Just throw anything out there and see if it sticks . What the fuck 😮

[@melraymond8491]

Really fun listening to this bit of history.

[@kaidengathings3096]

Now THIS is impressive. Funny how certain minds think alike.

[@kerryfowler8312]

Anyone know the title of her book she refers too?

[@Alligator6002]

Where can I get this book? I think it's high time Gretch and MG get their stories out there. There's so much feminine detail Missing from the macho narrative of the story.

[@3243_]

I think Mountain Girl is finally writing her memoir. There are a couple of excerpts from it on the net now.

[@Raviolli]

[@lynnrogersma79]

[@revjogreen1021]

[@BushyHairedStranger]

Paul Foster was a Hogfarmer friend of the Pranksters, wasn’t a Prankster though.

[@claymationwaves]
