I can sing along to tr#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, bertha, ripple, etc and they are ok tunes. but nothing compared to tunes by Creedance for example. Then I'll hear "yeah but you never heard Terrapin Station" yawn, yes I have boring emotionless wank. Obvioulsy my opinion, but they are a mediocre bar band, jacks of all trades but masters of none, they are propelled by pompous hippies who believe their music is some new age phenonomon. People love to "belong" so they wear tie dies, have dancing bears on their cars, etc. You can walk into bars tonight all over this country and there will be better bands playing.
I love to piss off dead heads, been doing it most of my life. I always listen to the tunes you guys post and see if they finally sound ok to me, nah. Still empty wank.

great post....I love the honesty!
I use to hate the Dead, ...never got the long jams/solos. I do like some of the more structured songs now and the acoustic/country stuff...they do have some great songs
