Yes that's lame they cut Brent out of that pic

It's so odd that up until very recently the Grateful Dead were always a square peg in a round hole world. Now it's become hip to be square.

Another example of how if you live long enough you see everything come around in a circle.

The Grateful Dead have become mainstream.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. I think it's great that new generations and people of all ages are still discovering the magic of the Grateful Dead, but after watching that Lincoln Center Honors debacle and now looking at this dress-up all-star music industry event, a quote from A Prayer for Owen Meany comes to mind...

"I know what my grandmother used to say, whenever she saw or read anything that was just a lot of bullshit. Owen picked up the phrase from her; he was quite lethal in its application, our senior year at Gravesend. Whenever anyone said anything that was a lot of bullshit to him, Owen Meany used to say, “YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? THAT’S MADE FOR TELEVISION—THAT’S WHAT THAT IS.”
