    The Grateful Dead

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    I am up to 1974 - which is about 2/3rds of the book -- real good, thus far. They interviewed some of the Dead office workers - which for me is kinda cool - a different perspective of the events.

    I also enjoyed the book. One thing I learned I never heard of before was a supposed meeting in Bob's studio with Van Morrison in the blues for Allah sessions era, the only connection of dead & van I know of (except JGB's covers of VM). Anyone has more info or links about this?

    Anyone in the NY area catch any of these JRAD shows at the Brooklyn Bowl this weekend?  Incredibly hot shows by all accounts.  I was in NYC this weekend, but at the Beacon on Saturday night.  This band does GD music like no other.

    I feel ya, dude! :thumbup   I get overwhelmed like that too, sometimes.  And in those times, its astounding to me that more people don't get it. :headbonk .   The Dead were an incredible American artistic and cultural institution in a  league by themselves.  An easy target for ridicule by the ignorant and the opportunistic, for sure. but I predict the more time passes the higher esteem the Grateful Dead will be held in by people who understand.

    Well said!

    The organization retracts (google translate)

     

     

    "The Rototom Sunsplash festival has reversed and has decided to invite the American Jewish singer Matisyahu, who were excluded after a campaign group BDS Country Valencià, acronyms refer to the boycott, divestment and sanctions on Israel. The organizers have also publicly apologized for the decision. "Rototom Semitism and reject any kind of religious discrimination, respect for the Jewish community and publicly apologize for what happened," have said in a statement"

     

    The organization also apologized for the cancellation singer and has again invited to act, as initially planned, on 22 August. "The Rototom recognizes his mistake, the result of the boycott campaign and pressures, threats and coercion promoted by Valencian Country BDS considering that could seriously disrupt the normal functioning of the festival, making it impossible to manage the situation with clarity," they have targeted.
     
    Thus, the festival rectifies its previous statements, in which he argued that the cancellation was because, after asking Matisyahu a public statement "against the war and the right of Palestinians to have their own state," this does not he replied. The Rototom has appealed to his career of 22 years' commitment to the culture of peace and respect between cultures, including freedom of belief recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Spanish Constitution. "
