Welcome to the NEW Radiant Radish

In 1969 I opened up a health food store in West Hollywood called the Radiant Radish. A Rolling Stone reporter came to write about it. I was at the store alone in my bathrobe. While we were doing the interview, a guy came by and wanted a bottle of B-12 vitamins. “I can’t give it to you without a script,” I said. I was joking, I think, but I wasn’t really much of a businessman in that way. The store closed about a year later, but I learned how to use a cash register.

And the store stayed open as an idea. One of the songs I did during that period that didn’t make it onto a record was called “H.E.L.P. Is on the Way.” At the end of the song was a commercial for the store: “Radiant Radish is gonna be on Fairfax and 3rd… Ooh, get yourself in for a snack, yeah but stop by the Radiant Radish.”

Anyway, here we are in 2023, and we’re opening up the store online – how about that? I hope you dig what we have to offer so far, and let us know what else we you want!
