I have just recently begun re-reading this book. I got this book a number of years ago from my good friend/deadhead/excellent guitarist Bob.

I read the book in the early 90's and was living in the Bay Area at the time. This book was particularly interesting to me because i was living in the Bay Area. Reading about Jerry and Pig and Bobby and Phil jamming at the coffee shop in palo alto, the boys living in SF in the early days, familiar addresses in which the structures of those days are no longer . . .It just made me feel even closer and a family member and gave me a chance to relive all those moments i was born a little too late for . . . Check it out!

Definitely a unique perspective.

Re Hank Harrison, we do all know he's Courtney Love's father, right? (You know it's gonna get stranger...)

It's available at Amazon and through book stores, but it's cheapest if you go through the publisher, Open Court

It was a heck of a lot of fun to put together. It's a collection of essays from a bunch of different folks, all heads turned phil profs coming from Eastern, Western, classical, modern perspectives all looking at different aspects of the band and deadhead culture.

Man, I love having tenure.

i'm looking for the underground songbook "whoa oh what i want to know"

I'll agree with the comment Oroboros posted earlier - Wybenga's book is a great read. I've had it for probably ten years now and it's one I go back to all the time - very conversational, funny. Dude's got a good turn of phrase.
