Their live work meanders all over the place, sometimes falling completely apart. How many of their boots have you listened to? Talk about way more miss than hit.

And I'm not talking about just plain drunk and sloppy playing (Jimmy Page: Guilty as sin).

Sorry that you can't hear the motifs mate. It's not really worth fretting over.

I have no idea how many dead cassette booters I’ve owned or listened to but dozens for sure. I don’t think they have a tendency to fall apart at all. They’re always moving along.

If you don’t like Ripple it’s hopeless. LZ has no relevance to conversation.

Not everyone is going to like GD but everyone should.

Add me to the "Grateful Dead just doesn't do it for me" list. So many opportunities to win me over and they just haven't. All of my friends love the band and some take it way too far. I had the chance to see most of them when they played in CA with John Mayer and I ended up selling my ticket because the line was a mile long and I'd rather hang out in the parking lot and drink beer.

^ I didn't realize you were a Dead fan, OH. You mention Ripple, but for me every track on American Beauty is just as good, for example Box of Rain with Bob Hunter's wonderful lyrics.

I suspect that one reason why people loved the Dead is this; go to a concert and they were there to guide you through hours of psychedelic exploration. On the other hand, if you needed to recuperate from some jagged experience, they were there too, with the gently reassuring somgs of American Beauty. In the end, they inspired a loyalty that went beyond the merits of the music because they became the soundtrack to a whole shared mindset.

EDIT: haven't seen you for a long time, Ali !

Blink 182 sucks but What's My Age Again will always hold a soft spot in my heart.
