Grateful Dead

a rock band from the time when rock was real and pure.
hippies who encouraged drug use that, although they did not encourage hippie movement, obviously moved it down the right path.
their name originates with a mid-southern european belief in the grateful dead– men whose spirits were ill-at-ease until someone buried them properly. the spirits often rewarded their helper with wishes, money, and worldly goods.
rock on, jerry!
grateful dead frocks!
and so what if it isn’t a real definition? you can’t define them.

if my agnostic\athiestic -ss worshipped something, it would most definitely be the grateful dead. for all you hippie-haters, i say, d-mn you. so what if they were stoners and whatnot? they produced some d-mn good music, and you’d probably agree if you’d actually listen to it.
thank you, jerry, for a real good time.
an american band, heavily influenced by psychedelia. formed in 1965, from the remnants of a different band, “mother mccree’s uptown jug champions”. they were best known for their unique style, which oftened encomp-sses many different styles of music, including rock, folk music, blues, bluegr-ss, jazz, and country. they started their career as the warlocks, in palo alto, soon moving to san francisco. the original line-up of the dead, as they were called by die-hard fans, were jerry garcia, bob weir, phil lesh, bill kreutzmann, and ron “pigpen” mckernan. in later years, they gained many additional members, including mickey hart, tom constanten, keith g-dchaux, donna jean g-dchaux, brent mydland, vince welnick, and soundman owsley “bear” stanley. one thing the grateful dead were famous for, other then their unique sound was their live sound. n-body of their time could compare. the grateful dead were also famous for their sound system, nicknamed the wall of sound, which was specially designed for them, and was totally unique.
the grateful dead was split up shortly after the death of garcia in 1995. some of them toured together under the name “the other ones”, but mostly, they retired to solo projects, the most well known of which are bob weir’s ratdog, and phil lesh and friends.
stoner: hey man, wanna go see the grateful dead?
stoner 2: sure, just let me grab some joints.
the f-cking sickest band ever to form. jerry garcia> best vocals, we miss you man. some crazy songs: chinacat sunflower, wharf rat, c-ssidy, shakedown street, and every other single motherf-ckin one because they are all so f-cking insane! life blows without live dead.
“holy sh-t man, bob wier’s comin to the state!”
“right on, right on. it’s a shame he’s the only dead man there. f-ck it man, it’ll be sweet, p-ss the ganj.”

only the coolest rock band ever to grace the face of the earth. forever jerry. rock on bob!
