US Blues



after 42 grateful dead shows, i pulled the plug on my obsession even though it was good to me. without question the hippie years were some of the best years of my life. that all changed the day i heard "smells like teen spirit". that marked the day i moved on to something kind of ugly and all too real.

it's been 15 years since i saw the grateful dead live but they have been on my mind lately. recalling the good acid and good times has brought back a certain buzz nirvana never produced, a certain buzz no more easily relived than between minutes 4:34 and 5:18 in this clip from The Grateful Dead Movie.

relive it.
