Dennis McNally Reflects on His Life as A Deadhead

I’m pretty sure I drank wine with Dennis at the Ritz one night in the 90s…bit of a wine snob if I’m remembering right (some REALLY good shit)…the man had some stories to tell…or maybe it was just the wind.
;~j

Dennis McNally was the Grateful Dead’s publicist from 1984 to 1995, and later with #GratefulDead Productions and Bob Weir & Ratdog, and the Dead’s biographer (A Long Strange Trip).

Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’: 10 Things You Didn’t Know

The Beatles you say? On Pink Floyd ‘s #DarkSideOfTheMoon?

“If you listen close to the end of “Eclipse,” the album’s closing track, a passage from an orchestral version of the Beatles’ “Ticket to Ride” can be heard; the song was apparently playing in the background at the Abbey Road studio…”

Is it too late to save the Amazon rainforest? Scientists say it is reaching the ‘point of no return’

“The signs are there, as plain as day
The truth remains unknown
The painted picture veils this shadow gray
The seeds have all been sown
Seeds of Change or Revolution?
Either future we will own what we create.”

Lyrics from upcoming release by Jamie Gray, “Something to Say”.

Marilyn Manson had a “meltdown” at The Paramount, walked off stage early

I remember a time in rock and roll, when just about ALL rockers threw tantrums and smashed stuff, walked out. But Rock isn’t supposed to be a polished performance…it’s designed to be a dance with the audience. Sometimes the audience doesn’t get what they came for. Sometimes they don’t give enough back.
Music is Art, and Art must breathe. Sometimes, it has halitosis.
