The Dead-We Strike At Dawn
Wanted: book publisher to fork over an advance for me to follow the Dead this summer. Involves acid, the decline of the Hippie dream, and involute analysis of the songs, “Morning Dew,” “Loser,” and “Box of Rain.” I am not joking. Really. I know.

Anything that can recreate Europe 72, the infamous 5/8/77 Cornell show (featuring the best scarlet>fire they ever did), or the Egypt shows I am on board for.
If you want a seasoned deadhead and fellow traveler, I’m your man.
Ooh, or maybe that killer Branford Marsallis “Eyes of the World,” which, while it was recorded in 1994 (I believe), but still stands out as one of the best recordings they ever released.
Plus, TERRAPIN! I mean, come on! If the Dead come west, we are going!

They are coming West. Tickets just went on sale this morning. They’re playing the Forum. I would get them quick.

All I know about these guys is that they have an ice cream named after them. Why not post something relevant to people above the age of 60, like Master P?
Fleet Foxes do this jam-band shit with harmonies way better anyway.
