Jerry Garcia

Well, yeah, it's always a sad day in a Dead Head's world, isn't it? Been thirteen years, hard to believe... Rather than focus on that, let's just acknowledge the sadness and move on. What about the good parts? The fun at the shows.
The friends made and experiences had.
The music itself... And even though most of us had no personal, real-life connection to the band other than the music, how's about what we know about Jerry? The sharp, open mind. The complexities. The sen... MORE

This is a weird little tidbit of music that I've been hoarding for a couple of years. I thought I'd share it, because, well, I'm on a bit of a "Dead" streak, and what good is music if you can't share it with people who love, and live, music, right???

A great filmmaker passed away Monday. While most of his movies fall into the foreign arthouse category, one in particular left it's mark on American audiences. Antonioni's _Zabriskie Point_ [1970], contained an excellent soundtrack, featuring a still-developing Pink Floyd , and the Grateful Dead.
