As time goes on the Grateful Dead enterprise seems resemble the KISS marketing enterprise.

Where's my Grateful Dead coffin? I imagine Skullfuck is using it right now.

Has anybody done GD condoms yet? I'm thinking day glow lightning bolts on em.  Maybe one in a hundred with Weirs face too to get the ladies excited?

I dunno about excited but I burst out laughing!

"I dunno about excited but I burst out laughing!"

 

More my intention to be honest ;) 

I know John Mayer owns Dead & Co now, and all the associated rights.
Does that mean he also owns all related GDP branding & logos, like the dancing bears, etc?
Just curious. I know the marketing stuff like linked above will just continue to get worse, just wondering if he has a hand in every licensing payout now too.

 

he's a fucking pig

^Grateful Dead alcohol is right up there with Brittany Spears having a weed strain named after her.

Yea, should have been orange juice or kool aid. 

^Kool Aid would've been an excellent choice. Would've sold itself.

5.3%???? 

Might as well be a breakfast beer!

Ah, so here's where we're complaining about the ongoing marketing/merchandising of the Grateful Dead?

Other than blaming Mayer for everything, this entire thread would have been just as appropriate 40/30/20 years ago.

>>>Does that mean he also owns all related GDP branding & logos, like the dancing bears, etc<<<

No. All Grateful Dead "intellectual property" is operated by Rino Entertainment (Warner), an agreement that was approved about ten years ago by all existing members, including Phil, but who still retain creative control/final say over content.

I seriously doubt the Evil Mayer sees a dime from any of that.

But I think that deal with Rino is coming to an end soon, so maybe Mayer will pick that up and everyone can hate him for that too.
