Relix Magazine

"Music for the Mind" Do they still print that rag? It was one of the few pre-internet sources for recent Grateful Dead setlists and the classifieds were always a hoot.
I signed up for a subscription at a music fest, but after the subscription ran out, they kept sending it to me year after year without having to pay them anything more. At some point, they started including a mixed CD with each issue that had a couple tracks from established artists with the rest of the tracks from up and coming acts from across the jam band spectrum. Found a big pile of those CDs recently and now going through them again. Good stuff.

The opposite of Dupree's Diamond News, which took subscriptions and then stopped sending issues after one or two.

I scored a bunch of Relix magazines addressed to Tom Constanten in an auction, I'm actually pictured in one of them, so I always thought that interesting, it memorialized my favorite guitar...a 1977 Alvarez, which is a copy of a Gibson J-200.

Relix was cool that when you subscribed they would post a short classified ad for you if you wanted to trade tapes.

Yes. I'm proud that I did 2 covers for The Golden Road, but I liked the magazine for more reasons than that.

Golden Road was great and I
Golden Road was great and I always looked forward to those quarterly (more or less) issues. I have an issue signed by Timothy Leary - he was 'debating' the leader of the NYC Guardian Angles in Spring '90 in Bloomington, IL at something coined a Safe Drugs Rally or similar. I found the GR in my college dorm mailbox on the way there and was thumbing through it while waiting for it to start and noted that he was apparently at the LA shows from the previous December (if I recall that correctly), "and appearred to be having a REALLY good time" or something to that affect. He mentioned that his son was a Deadhead and when he saw my GR during the afterward meet & greet, he excalimed with a giddy screach, "hey, I am in there, I AM IN THERE!!" He flipped right to the LA review page, circled his reference text, and signed it, "Best Wishes, Timothy Leary". It was pretty cool....and also looking his eyes was like simultaneously seeing a child's enthusiasm and another universe. I left thinking to myself, 'wow, what a crazy cool timeless old bird.'
It was pretty funny hearing him complain that he was having increasing difficulties finding a decent bag of weed after somone asked about the possible ranging/decreasing quality of LSD over the years when he said, "I dunno but based on the smile on your face I'd say you got a hold of some pretty good shit!"
RIP Dr Tim......sort of - isn't his brain cryogenically frozen for a hopeful round two?
