See that girl, barefootin' along,
Whistlin' and singin', she's a carryin' on.
There's laughing in her eyes, dancing in her feet,
She's a neon-light diamond and she can live on the street.
Hey hey, hey, come right away (You're in the country)
Come and join the party every day.
Hey hey, hey, come right away (You're in the country)
Come and join the party every day.
Well everybody's dancin' in a ring around the sun
Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun.
So take off your shoes, child, and take off your hat.
Try on your wings and find out where it's at.
Hey hey, hey, come right away (You're in the country)
Come and join the party every day.
Hey hey, hey, come right away (You're in the country)
Come and join the party every day.
Take a vacation, fall out for a while,
Summer's comin' in, and it's goin' outa in style
Well lie down smokin' honey, have yourself a ball,
'Cause your mother's down in Memphis, won't be back 'till the fall.
Hey hey, hey, come right away (You're in the country)
Come and join the party every day.
Hey hey, hey, come right away (You're in the country)
Come and join the party every day.
Hey hey, hey, come right away (You're in the country)
Come and join the party every day.
Hey hey, hey, come right away (You're in the country)
Come and join the party every day.

The later treated it with more respect, given that many who saw the light were ultimately vaporized by same. A great read on all that is "Storming Heaven". Even the good Dr. Leary and the Millbrook crowd got stridently messianic and lost a certain necessary perspective after just plain too many sessions. All those clowns kind of poisoned the well for everyone, its taken like 30 years and a lot of uphill legal, political, and scientific battles by truly dedicated groups like MAPS to get the work of Stan Grof and the other _real_ consciousness researchers restarted. |

| h8rhater | Posted: Dec 05, 2009 - 07:07 OMG this Damien guy is such a douche. Grab a bag of stereotypes and SPEW them out fool. Sounds to me like you know absolutely nothing about the Dead or dead heads. You are just some tool who thinks he's being cute by flaming people he doesn't know on the web. You sound like the grumpy old man. Surely there is some rock you can crawl back under. _Some_ people may have joined the Dead for the scene but they always stayed for the music. |

I don't agree. I went to school in the same timeframe you speak of. Yes, I voted for Bush (both of them) and I would have voted for Reagan if I had been old enough.I used to hang around a lot of people who called themselves deadheads. I have been a Deadhead without the clothes or the drugs. For me, it has always been about the music, not the scene. I have thousands of shows on tape and CD (and now MP3), but have only been to one show. I know their entire catalogue by heart and am looking forward to seeing the Dead in a few weeks (minus Jerry of course). It is very hard to establish stereotypes because then you find that there are so many exceptions to the little stereotype construct that you have built.... |

Most of the DeadHeads I knew in college didn't fit this stereotype. Some of the DeadHeads at my school belonged to a fraternity or sorority, but I'm not sure they voted for Reagan or Bush. And they sure didn't give a shit about the "material peripherals." They just liked the music. I was in college when you were, and I can assure you we were all about the beer. The beer and the music. And the pot. That too. |

There's different layers; below the Deadheads are the Pranksterites. Every Pranksterite knows who Leary was, but not many Deadheads do. But when you ask a Pranksterite what Leary was into, outside of the usual clichés, none can tell you. There once was an east coast tribe and a west coast tribe. The west coast tribe never knew what the east coast tribe was doing. Curious observation. Why are you linking Pranksterites with Timothy Leary? By Pranksterites I assume you mean fans and followers of Ken Kesey, like the Pranksters? The Pranksters and Leary were not at all on the same page. Leary saw LSD as a tool for further study of mental capacirty and functionality while the Pranksters were more light hearted and simply enjoying the experience. To say that deadheads don't know who Leary was makes no sense. Are all your deadhead acquaintances 15 years old or something? |

Me, I drove my own psychedelic bus, thanks, and it wasn't all that terrific—although a multi-hued August dawn somewhere on I-80 E in Iowa with 'Trane blaring was an unforgettable sight akin to a daytime aurora borealis. I quickly discovered I preferred Dr. Tim's approach, given that—when in Rome—I find lyres, baths, frescos, wine and (lack of) togas far more appealing than chariots, lions, and senatorial assassinations. |

I was never a Dead Head though I've been to several of their concerts. I think much of their music (this song, Bertha, many others) are terrific and some are trite and boring.

its like the joke goes; Q: what did one Deadhead say to the other when they ran out of acid? A: Man! this music BLOWS! For me, it is not about Deadheads. It is about the music. Yes, perhaps there was a great community created by the Dead and their tours, but the lasting thing for me is the music. The music, and how it makes me feel. Damien, it sounds like you never got deep into the music or the Deadhead culture. That is fine, that is your choice. It is not mandatory to like the Dead or their music. However, don't trivialize it, because it happened and the Dead's music has endured despite the death of a lot of its members and despite the fact that they were never a big seller of hit records. As for the music. Just listen to it. Really listen. And don't just listen to Touch of Grey or Friend of the Devil. Listen to their American folk background with songs like Deep Ellem. Listen to their amazing melodies like Eyes of the World. I listened to Eyes of the World on my way into the office this morning and it turned my whole mood around. If after you really listen to the deep cuts, and you still don't like the music, then fine. That is ok. But don't judge it until you have given it a chance! |
