Ann Marie Calhoun and her brother Joe Simpson playing Ripple Ripple ~ words by Robert Hunter, music by Jerry Garcia If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung, Would you hear my voice come through the music, Would you hold it near as it were your own? It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken, Perhaps they're better left unsung. I don't know, don't...

I’ve always had a favorite Dead song, and it wasn’t Truckin’. I can’t get this song out of my head.

Taken from the Dead's much loved run at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY in 1971, this dorm room staple was on regular rotation during my college years. Blasting from boom-boxes along with Phish and Blues Traveler while we played hacky sack and frisbee on the lawn. The Adams Family themed pinball machine at the student center was also prime entertainment in those pre-web days. But I digress...

On this date 31 years ago, 909 people committed mass suicide at Jim Jones' compound in Guyana. Any time 900 people die from one cause, it's a bad day. But I think this is an especially bad day because it represents some of the worst trends in American culture--religious extremism, mass violence, apocalyptic messaging. Those consistent threads in our history were exacerbated by the late 1960s and 1970s--too...

I'm here today to take issue with the symbol of Anti Injustice Week used by those sycophants (ooo-hoo...such a big word so early in the week) over at Brown-Noser Dot Com . That picture up there - yeah, the clenched fist - is a friggin' injustice. What are we, Black Panthers or something? Somebody, probably that blonde bimbette with that cutesy name who lives in a fall-out shelter in Idaho and offends...

Earlier today, we told you about the somewhat surprising news that John Kadlecik has resigned from his position as Jerry Garcia in the Dark Star Orchestra . We say “somewhat” because if you read our interview with Kadlecik from a few weeks back it was pretty clear the writing for today’s announcement was on the wall. Our own Chad Berndtson followed up on that interview by speaking...

In his Ash Grove recording, guitarist Dave Alvin laments the loss of a favorite Los Angeles club, a venue that should be on the National Register of Historic Places. It would have to be in an urn, however, the club burned not once, but three times. Ed Pearl (an uncle of Spirit's Randy California) founded the 250-seat Ash Grove in 1958.

Mr. Nag and I could job share. "If you were there in '77 at the Barton Hall show at Cornell University when Jerry Garcia absolutely tore up 'St. Stephen,' well, that wouldn't hurt. But more importantly, how's your Dewey Decimal these days? The University of California, Santa Cruz is looking for an archivist to take control of their Grateful Dead collection." More here Thanks Ron.

Filed under: News , MP3 , New Music , Exclusive Although rock audiences are familiar with the Grateful Dead 's 'Friend of the Devil,' guitarist/singer Jerry Garcia often explored different sides of the song in his various solo projects. This version, taken from the new archival release 'Let it Rock: Jerry Garcia Band 1975,' is an unusually jazzy interpretation featuring keyboard embellishments from...

Elephant Hill off in the distance as seen from our hill. So glad those little dirt trails will never lead up to 24 huge ugly boxy beige "luxury" homes. Get lost developers. Leave our hills alone. Jerry Garcia Band "Deal" Iron & Wine "Such Great Heights"
