Randy Hankins then in charge of US import and distribution for LaSportiva had my favorite response when asked about the dead:
" I'll be grateful when they are all dead."

I like Jerry's ties though.

Either you like the Dead or not...38 years later I still like them. Never cared if the "population" did.
Can't stand at a Dead show?? When did that change...It use to be you stood during the show and sat at intermission!
Even when they are all dead...the music will never stop.

LOL! I always worked and always bathed...I do remember becoming disenchanted with the "scene" when I heard some deadhead belittle a fellow concert goer for not wearing the standard dead wear...She had shoes with some heel and the guy bellowed when she stumbled "get some flats". Jerks in all walks of life.

I quit jobs for shows but always had another lined up when I got back.

I got fed up with the scene at Deer Creek back in 93 when not once, but thrice in the same day, I was offered crack out on Shakedown. That and it just seemed like the party was the focus - one in ten thousand, huh?

Saw The Dead here in Los Angeles last year however, and it kinda kicked a whole lot of ass!

Sportivas never fit me anyway.

During the "Mega Dead" era it became just as trendy to hate the Dead as it was to love them(or at least the scene)"

In the mid 80's I was the only Head in my entire high school of 3000 kids, but a few teachers knew what was up. I would ditch friday and power it all the way to the Bay area from Tucson, see three shows and power it home, in time to show up for a few monday afternoon classes. One teacher, knowing damn well why I was so frizzlefried and tiedyed made me sing Touch of Grey in front of the Whole class, just to make me pay.
I saw my first period PE teacher at a show on what was the second day of school. I told him I had seen him, he sure didn't remember(!!!), and gave him a wink. I never showed up for that class again and was never marked absent.
That school was a joke, learned way more on the road. Didn't miss a west coast show and graduated on time.
Then climbing took over.

-Now that's Funny! Is it it more ironic now? Now that maybe you do have a 'Touch of Gray'?
