Hippies and rednecks? Like dogs and cats, right? Or maybe both are just a little rough around the edges and misunderstood. Willie Nelson sure figured out that market pretty well!

Cool! Without Grateful Dead, would there even be a Silicon Valley!? (I’m only half-joking…)

    Jerry Garcia met Bob Weir at a music store in Palo Alto where Jerry was giving banjo lessons. Bob Weir’s lyricist, JP Barlow, was a founding member of the EFF. There’s a lot more than just that, but I got some code to review!

      There's a great autobiography written by Barlow, "Mother American Night". Highly recommend

  I often wonder this. I play bluegrass and other traditional music at tech events, along with talks that essentially explore this and proximal questions. As to the specific lineage of this music through Bill Monroe -=> Jerry Garcia -=> John Perry Barlow -=> EFF/archive.org/etc, I had a sit-down with my producer where we recorded a sort of video-open-letter to a few friends on this topic: https://youtu.be/bYLrIGOEVPU?t=193 https://youtu.be/bYLrIGOEVPU?t=193

Thanks for providing images of the suit, quite strange the article never shows a single image of the iconic suit he created.

  Yes… Mike Mills was a legit rockstar in this era. https://m1.paperblog.com/i/73/734550/mike-mills-L-82LOCy.jpeg https://m1.paperblog.com/i/73/734550/mike-mills-L-82LOCy.jpe... https://youtu.be/jWkMhCLkVOg https://youtu.be/jWkMhCLkVOg

Just in case any other Deadheads were curious about that guitar, it's a walnut stratocaster built by Dan Erlewine, who also built "Lucy", Albert King's flying V guitar. It's likely they were built from the same batch of wood. Known to be played on 11/18/72, 11/19/72, 11/22/72, 11/23/72, 12/10-12/72 (only on two of the nights, but Alligator was also played), and 5/13/73. https://www.rukind.com/viewtopic.php?t=14697 https://www.rukind.com/viewtopic.php?t=14697 https://deadessays.blogspot.com/2019/08/jerry-garcia-instrument-history-guest.html https://deadessays.blogspot.com/2019/08/jerry-garcia-instrum... https://danerlewine.com/jerry-garcia-stratishcaster https://danerlewine.com/jerry-garcia-stratishcaster

  Very cool! I was thinking "Hmm, never seen that one before!" I dig the numeral fret inlays.
