    Alabama news n views site perpetuates 'Hippie' stereotypes
    I googled Grateful Dead today and one of the first results was an opinion piece on a Alabama news website. The article, titled: 'Grateful Dead, LSD, and Tie-dye? Not in Alabama thank you very much', states that 'the website Estately recently looked at the places in America where the most hippies live. Alabama came in at number 46th in the country, ranking low on the hippie meter for almost every category, with a slight uptick for social media interest in the tune in and drop out lifestyle'. I thought that by sharing it here the author might have a chance to hear from some of the people she's perpetuating stereotypes about. http://www.al.com/opinion/index.ssf/2015/07/grateful_dead_lsd_and_tie-d…

For I don't no how long, I've always looked forward to seeing the Dead Movie on VH1 or other channels through Comcast/Xfinity. It's almost a year since it appeared in my weekly favorite searches. Does anyone know anything about this?

It's a shame to see history being changed because of a few songs that may have a gun fight, dating 14 year olds, and other lyrics that may be offensive to some.

Hello all, I'm from Europe and not really a Grateful Dead fan, I listen to a lot of music from the 60's and 70's though. After visiting an American music forum I noticed that a lot of Deadheads were Trump supporters and this confused me. How is this possible? The band as I understand stood against everything this band represented. Would you say that Grateful Dead has always been a band which followers are mainly Republican as crazy as it sounds?

Anyone catch Ari Melber interview Weir today? It was a fast interview, but enjoyable. Looks like they had to edit it down to fit on TV but it was nice with some substance. Cool! Have a Grateful Day! :-)

P.S. The interview just happened so it hasn't been uploaded yet, but when it is it would probably show up here:

Here is a weird encounter. My family has a summer house in Bryant Pond, ME, Two properties down there is a studio that Tucker Carlson (yeah, that guy) broadcasts from. My brother and I were taking a walk and we saw ol' Tucker working on his vintage pick-up. As a good neighbor I introduced myself, and we had an interesting (non=political) talk - in his studio was a picture of his circa early 90's with Jerry Garcia. The dude had been to over 50 concerts! Who knew??

Does not Ann Coulter get into Dead, too? Someone should tell them Sen. Al (Kissinger on Dead Ahead) Franken gets into the band quite a bit. Hey repo, check out his bona fides on his knowledge of jams...

During the NFC Championship game just now, when they went to a tv break the music they played during the transition was Estimated Prophet. I saw another game recently where they played Saint Of Circumstance. Those are pretty deep cuts for the NFL.

Has anyone heard anything about Grateful Dead Meet up at the Movies for 2022? Before the pandemic, movie theaters would show a Dead concert on Jerrry Garcia's birthday.

Season 6 of Billions - someone producing that show knows their Dead
Besides the reference to Steve Parish in episode 8 or 9 the Deal to close out the season with Jerry on Slide is out of this world. If someone could point me to the show where they got that from I am going to say late 70s early 80s I would be GRATEFUL!!

The producers for fox sports who do the effects are big time Jam band fans. You will hear a lot of Phish, Dead, Panic ,Moe as they cut into commercials. If you google it there are some interesting articles and the producers even have some pics with members of the band.

Hey fam,

one of my favorite podcasts, Midnight, On Earth w/ Jake Weaver, had Wendy Weir as a guest on this week and it is shockingly amazing. It goes so deep into to spiritual aspects of the GD experience, and really adds a lot of powerful information to the whole thing.

Literally everyone who is a GD or Jerry fan should check out this episode.. OMG!

Midnight, On Earth w/ Jake Weaver

Episode 108 - Channeling Jerry Garcia & The Metaphysical Grateful Dead w/ Wendy Weir

Its on all the streaming platforms, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.. and the show's website

This is MUST LISTEN episode for all GD fam... no joke.. there are some things that have never ever been discussed before about Jerry and Bob.

I actually really love this podcast. there is no other like it out there, the guests are amazing. the host asks the best questions, and its always compelling. The host is also a big deadhead, so in the midst of the big topics they cover Jerry usually pops up from time to time. CHECK IT OUT!
