Hi always runs with scissors.
I am not an ex-Deadhead. I will always remain one. lol
I remember when Jerry was niftar and it was shocking. What a shame, and what a huge loss.
It would be an understatement to say I love them and miss the band with Jerry immensely. Bobby and Phil and Mickey and Bill are still like family and I try to see them when I can as The Dead, although I have not seen them as Further.
I can also add the lyrics of Robert Hunter are as poetic and mystical as any you will ever find
Don’t get me started..lol
As musicians, they are all maestros in their own right. Their songs are timeless and filled with lessons and wonder like no other band. Basically, they are a “band beyond description”. lol
They have a way of hitting the spot like no other band, ever.
Okay, dont get me started.. lol
Just a note, I dont think it is difficult to be Jewish at “hippie” events. There are many similarities that start with respect for freedom to be and think as you like. In fact, I find it very comforting to find other frum people at Dead related shows because it is like being at home with two groups of people at once.
You know, in many ways the Dead had a role in moving me to where I am today. They kind of put me on the path of getting in touch with my heart and soul and seeking and wonder and possibilities about being alive, which added to me seeking the Torah to complete and satisfy that yearning.
