Has the Grateful Dead Movie been banned?
For I don't no how long, I've always looked forward to seeing the Dead Movie on VH1 or other channels through Comcast/Xfinity. It's almost a year since it appeared in my weekly favorite searches. Does anyone know anything about this?
It's a shame to see history being changed because of a few songs that may have a gun fight, dating 14 year olds, and other lyrics that may be offensive to some.
Republicans
Hello all, I'm from Europe and not really a Grateful Dead fan, I listen to a lot of music from the 60's and 70's though. After visiting an American music forum I noticed that a lot of Deadheads were Trump supporters and this confused me. How is this possible? The band as I understand stood against everything this band represented. Would you say that Grateful Dead has always been a band which followers are mainly Republican as crazy as it sounds?
Weir on Deadline Whitehouse
Anyone catch Ari Melber interview Weir today? It was a fast interview, but enjoyable. Looks like they had to edit it down to fit on TV but it was nice with some substance. Cool! Have a Grateful Day! :-)
P.S. The interview just happened so it hasn't been uploaded yet, but when it is it would probably show up here:

Here is a weird encounter. …
Here is a weird encounter. My family has a summer house in Bryant Pond, ME, Two properties down there is a studio that Tucker Carlson (yeah, that guy) broadcasts from. My brother and I were taking a walk and we saw ol' Tucker working on his vintage pick-up. As a good neighbor I introduced myself, and we had an interesting (non=political) talk - in his studio was a picture of his circa early 90's with Jerry Garcia. The dude had been to over 50 concerts! Who knew??

Grateful Dead on the NFL
During the NFC Championship game just now, when they went to a tv break the music they played during the transition was Estimated Prophet. I saw another game recently where they played Saint Of Circumstance. Those are pretty deep cuts for the NFL.
Has anyone heard anything…
Has anyone heard anything about Grateful Dead Meet up at the Movies for 2022? Before the pandemic, movie theaters would show a Dead concert on Jerrry Garcia's birthday.
Dead on Billions Season 6
Season 6 of Billions - someone producing that show knows their Dead
Besides the reference to Steve Parish in episode 8 or 9 the Deal to close out the season with Jerry on Slide is out of this world. If someone could point me to the show where they got that from I am going to say late 70s early 80s I would be GRATEFUL!!
In response Grateful Dead on NFL Fox does it all the time
The producers for fox sports who do the effects are big time Jam band fans. You will hear a lot of Phish, Dead, Panic ,Moe as they cut into commercials. If you google it there are some interesting articles and the producers even have some pics with members of the band.

2024 Kennedy Center Lifetime Achievement Award
"The Grateful Dead has always been about community, creativity, and exploration in music and presentation. We've always felt that the music we make embodies and imparts something beyond the notes and phrases being played—and that is something we are privileged to share with all who are drawn to what we do—so it also must be said that our music belongs as much to our fans, the Dead Heads, as it does to us. This honor, then, is as much theirs as ours.”
A much deserved honor!
But the award ceremony isn't televised until Dec. 23rd? I wonder who will show up to accept and who will honor them with their performances? Thanks Uncle T.
Cheers
