Found this on Mickey, when he was in the Army...in Spain. In fact, he maybe lived in my house before me, as I lived in a borough populated by American soldiers and my dad rented the house to one of them.

^ I'm almost sure there's some song by U2 that I enjoyed back in the Cenozoic, but my hate to Bono et al. doesn't allow me to recall which one. Fortunately.

An interview with Bill http://www.wsj.com/articles/grateful-deads-drummer-pens-a-memoir-1430236048 Quote: You can see by looking at Apple and Microsoft which one took acid.

Enjoying Phil & Friends, 4-22-15, including Bill Frisell. Very jazzy and intimate performance. And Phil sings rather well, to my surprise. Check it out: https://soundcloud.com/quinfolk/sets/txr-frisell

^ speaking of which....A rapper publishing a scientific paper in Evolution, the most prestigious journal in the field. Abstract Using hip-hop music and performance to communicate the science of evolutionary biology is a dubious-sounding notion; I’ll be the first to admit. Although I currently make my living as a rap artist and science communicator, performing for thousands of people around the world every year, I can’t take credit for the key idea that led me to this strange vocation. My original idea was to use rap to communicate arcane literature, starting with Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.

I don't think there's a Jefferson Airplane thread, so I post here Jefferson Airplane’s Paul Kantner suffers heart attack. http://blog.sfgate.com/loaded/2015/03/27/jefferson-airplanes-paul-kantner-suffers-heart-attack/ Not surprising, I read somewhere that the 74 years old guy apparently smokes 5packs/day

This is intriguing: SF police might be sitting on a briefcase full of unknown Jerry Garcia songs http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/sf-police-might-be-sitting-on-a-briefcase-full-of-unknown-jerry-garcia-songs/Content?oid=2923861

My exact thoughts on rap! Also agree with Jerry when, speaking of heavy metal, he said something as 'it simply has no sense' On other grounds, Garcia and Hunter inductees of the Songwriters Hall of Fame http://www.songhall.org/news/entry/songwriters_hall_of_fame_announces_2015_inductees1

Really sad. The man has been around for as long as I can remember from my hippie days

Sorry jw harding, I picked out this out of context. It really seems Clapton did not enjoy the Dead, at least in records http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/03/cream-and-dead.html In September '67, Clapton mentioned one surprise in San Francisco: "The first thing that hit me really hard was that the Grateful Dead were playing a lot of gigs for free. That very much moved me. I'd never heard of anyone doing that before."Cream didn't see the Dead live, though. At some point Clapton heard the Dead's first album, but didn't have a positive reaction. "I don't think the quality of their music is a

The most grateful Deadhead: an interview with David Gans: http://www.radiosurvivor.com/2015/01/28/grateful-deadhead-interview-david-gans/

I need the object. Electricity/batteries-dependency is unavoidable but risking one of my biggest pleasures to the very existence of internet connection and streaming services is not my ideal of life. It's just that simple...

^ a great one! also my favorite

Some good selections in this year's 30 days of Dead (http://www.dead.net/30daysofdead). I finally got to like even Box of Rain, thanks to Donna harmonizing and, in a way, overlaying Phil voice's scarce melodic skills (I'm challenging you, Donna haters!).
