The Dead ???? - GoFuckYourself.com

Herb Kornfield · 04-12-2003, 10:32 AM

Been hearing Ads on the radio for "the Dead" basically, the remaining members of the grateful dead with some new guest musicians sitting in (Joan Osbourne, Jai Johanny, etc)

Not that I am a huge dead fan, but, Jerry Garcia isnt here anymore. The Dead ceased to exist with the passage of him, just as the beatles did when John was shot, Zeppelin when Bonzo died.

Maybe another name would have been a better idea than using the dead.....what do you think?

You notice that they are calling the group "The Dead", not the "Grateful Dead".

A rose be any other name...

Fuck your consensus reality. This is a concept the Dead helped me question.

The vast majority of GD music is traded for free.

From The Dead...

Seven years ago, when Jerry passed, we made a conscious decision to retire the name Grateful Dead. We did so after some deep soul searching and out of our love and respect for what we had created together. After we played our first shows together at Alpine Valley last year, we were all profoundly affected by a sense of awe and connection that none of us had felt since we played with Jerry.

It was a magical occurrence that no one could have anticipated, yet one we all want to embrace. To us, this was the Grateful Dead- without Jerry. We had stopped being the "Other Ones" and were on our way to becoming something new but at the same time very familiar.

Grateful Dead conjures up many different emotions and feelings for all of us; it was a BAND, it continues to be a community, an approach to life, a electrical current, a dream, the list goes on. Whenever and wherever we played this past year, we all knew that we were experiencing Grateful Dead in its multiplicity of forms. We also know that this would not have been possible without all of you joining to support us. Therefore, with the greatest possible respect to our collective history, we have decided to keep the name "Grateful Dead" retired in honor of Jerry's memory, and call ourselves: "The Dead."

It the immortal words of the anti-heros

He's the old hippie that made us sick
He wrote Muzak for drug adicts
He's the fat geezer who talked too much
He used drugs as a crutch
Ate granola and he hugged trees
Looked like a dog bit by fleas
Had a beer gut and a tye died shirt
Said he'd live forever but now he sleeps in dirt

Jerry was a piece of shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
Im Grateful that he's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead (jerry)

Like Jim baker he went far
Turned stadiums into singles bars
Did all of the drugs in San Francisco
Wrote 20 albums of long haired disco
Then he sang i will survive
look who is no longer alive

Jerry was a piece of shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
Im Grateful that he's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead (jerry)

So all you fuckers in your VW vans
Preppy, dink, hackysack clan
Wallstreet twats with ponytail hair
Your Bmw's with dancing bears
He was an icon, he was a god
He racked in your cash in wads
You were conned by a useless slob
The tours are over so get a job

Jerry was a piece of shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
Im Grateful that he's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead (jerry)

The only good deadhead is one with a screwdriver buried into its skull.

Spin in circles now you dirty fuck.
