Grateful Dead

He wrote Broken Arrow but Phil got it from the Rod Stewart cover.
I'll be honoring him by playing his excellent self-titled solo release.
It's killer. It has mood. Travel onward Robbie.
Cheers

Will be running a marathon of GD/JGB music this evening, toasting with Jerr and now Robbie.... finishing off 47... just as soon as I get the jungle lawn cut. Wake of the Flood indeed. When I went off to college in Maine in 1970, I seemed to be the only one playing the Live Dead album on near daily basis, interspersed with Anthem and Aoxo. Had I arrived in the right place? Then I found people listening to Music from Big Pink, Savoy Brown and J Geils.... next they brought Alan Ginsberg to campus so he could read from Howl, I started to dj for the campus 5 watt station, all was good.

Lol, makes me think of one of my favorite South Park episodes. Cartman as an exterminator, tapping on an old womans walls, “I’m sorry mam, you have Hippies, I hate Hippies”
I identified more with the Beats and their culture and mores than the Hippies, but can boogie with most freaks!

This one cuts deep.

I guess, though the more I learn about him….ok, no dissing the Deceased…
Perhaps He and Lee can work all that BS out now?
Who’d a thunk old Garth would be last man standing. You go Garth!

Whoooaaaa, just realized, some other sorta important Guitar player died on August 9th….spooky.
They’ll be some jams for sure!

A raise of the glass to Robbie Robertson

Another one gone

Hippies etymology on wiki was a full page.
Very interesting and divided into categories by era. Goes way back.
Hep, hip, hipster, hep cat all came before and as early as early 1900s.
Some music references from '30s - '40s and lots from rock & roll late '50s.
Even comedian Steve Allen made a claim about using it around 1963.
I vaguely remember politicos like Barry Goldwater using it in a derogatory way.
I'm only 66 but I've been calling myself a card carrying hippy since my teens.
Always considered it a counterculture badge of distinction.
Cheers

Miss you man!

I was in Winston- Salem NC. As I walked into a large mall there was a group of hippies out front weeping. I had no idea until I walked into the mall.

Speaking of HIPPIES...turned by AXS tv a week or two back and they are re-running the Monkeys. On the show dated 12/26/1966 they use the term hippies. Did not realize that term was developed prior to March of 1967. Oh well, always need another rabbit hole to go down.

To me as a kid in late 1960's and early 1970's, I never had any idea how much watching the Monkeys would change my life. BTW, we had cable tv in the 1960's. It was the company that eventually became Comcast.

Dave's 44 & 41 have them too.
That's as far back as I went to see if there were any more.
I stand them up on the stereo to see it when I'm playing them.
Doesn't have to be a box to have cool packaging.
Thanks Dave and team.
Cheers
Kemo's on point. That 2nd disc is the bomb of DaP47. And I like the clarity of the sound regardless of the vocal mix.
