I think if you ate a bunch of LSD and listen to them you might understand.







As much as I love drugs, and as much as I love music, I hate hearing that I'd "understand" music "better" if I listened to it on drugs.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

Do you not think psychedelics seperate themselves from other drugs?



Lately I've been thinking there are people who get it and don't with psychedelics. Like some people like myself experience deep passionate spiritual rebirth. And others just see colors



If you are experiencing deep spiritual rebirth to this music and means alot more then what it appears to be to society. Its sort of a secret in a way.

I think it's egotistical to think you "get it" more than anyone else...I mean in a way it's only natural, we all are inside our minds only and can only understand the world in our unique way, but I don't think we as a psychedelic community or any of our individual members necessarily "get it" more than someone who has never had a psychedelic experience.

The dead performing live + LSD equals an important life experience which is too significant to be considered an accident that you experienced it.



There are certain phrases you would only understand from strange psychedelic experiences with the dead.



"Some comes to laugh there pasts away,

Some come to make it just one more day,

Which ever way your pleasure tends,

If you plant ice you are gonna harvest wind"



They have alot of strange lyrics that only make sense to me somehow in the back of my mind in some psychedelic weird way. and it seems to be shared by others who love the music.

I'm not saying I have a better understanding than others. They effect me in a really personal deep spiritual way. And that doesn't happen to others. My life is completely different because of psychedelics. some people are not affected at all by psychedelics. Not neccisarily 'getting it' more than others. But some don't get it at all and others lives are changed drastically after ingesting psychedelics. I recently ate around 300 + mics of LSD with some people and we all experienced deep incredible myserious things, while one person was just sort of fucked up. I think some people experiencing something more siginificant than others.

what the dead are to there many fans cannot be put into words.

in my opinion the dead are the high water ark of human creation. they are a microcosim for the human condition. they are not "gods" they are just guys (and somtimes a girl) who truly loved creating unspeakable beauty for the people around them.

for me the dead link me with my child hood. i have been hearing these songs day in day out from befor i could even swallow hard food. these vibrations are forever apart of me. all i wish is that others can share in the delight i get from hearing the music play

That's the dumbest shit i've ever heard. You like them because your parents listened to it while you were growing up? I suppose you also didn't experience a childhood and knew how to deal with bills and a mortgage at the supple age of 7 too.

I enjoy listening to the Grateful Dead from time to time, quite a bit of their music I'd even consider "Great" (although it certainly doesn't make me feel the need to get up and shake my bones lol)



But... if there is one thing I'd just point out to hardcore deadheads -- and I know a lot of them -- There's a whole lot of good music being made these days and new music is often a lot more socially/spiritually relevant. Also, it's not gonna do you any good to live in the past!



In all fairness I used to go on Phish tour--- but never reached the level of obsessiveness I see in a lot of Dead fans. Also I was always able to admit when Phish did something that sucked. And when they broke up I moved on and found new bands to enjoy..



Last five years I go to a lot of Breakfast shows (ragin' jam-type rock band from CT) and these kids are my family, but its a much smaller scene than Phish/Dead. But the difference is.... this is a band that still exists and tours actively!



Guess I've just met a lot of hippies who practically refuse to listen to anything besides The Dead. To me that seems extremely lame
