    You have no idea what youre talking about if you say Janis Joplin and Airplane were influential. The Grateful Dead were influenced by Airplane, they were basically mentored by them in the beginning

    Starship didnt suck in the beginning, they had one decent album. Then it was miserable and downhill after that.

    *throws hands in the air* OH MI GAWD BECKY did you know that people weren't always raised around hippies? UGH come on just because she didn't know that Garcia died dosen't mean shes any less of a hippy, shes just in training. I didn't know who he was until I bought a tie because I had some spiffyed up thing to go to. I listen to The Clash, Anti Flag, Cruxshadows, APC, Skinny Puppy does that really matter? I mean I was raised around AC/DC, Sknyrd, Eagles, Pink Floyd and the like my whole life and I just here recently heard of Phish and such bands. Is the music you listen to really that important? If it is that important then the hippie culture is nothing more the a media hype for jam bands.

    What did Morrison do that was amazing.

    He talked about his dick and rambled on about nothing.

    Oh he's such a great poet. NOT the Lizaed King what an f'ing joke.

    The Door's were the biggest joke in the psychedelic scene in the 60's.

    But to each their own and music is opinion (yours is wrong j/k)

    For some real american poetry try Robert Hunter.

    Govt Mule is music for your ASS. If you don't get the mule fine, more room for me on the rail.

    Does the music you listen to make you some greater being then the rest of us? If so please tell me what it is so I also to may become god like. Just like the god like punks with GG Allin and the god like goths with the Bahuahas and the god like hippies with Greatful Dead and Moe. I can also be like the god like american teen with Good Charroleet and other such crappy bands.

    Ok now that hopefully everyone has harshed out on someone here,
    if someone withg Cobain in the handle wants to learn about "hippie" music (now that's wide open) here are some mid-school suggestions from a kid of the 70s:
    Dead eras: Europe 72 (Friend of mine was born on that tour)
    Terrapin Station and ensuing tours.
    Lots of free Dead out there, search for trade AND Grateful Dead.
    I don't download much, I'm an old trader who lost it all, but eTree.com and I think nugs.net are good.
    If you go for the country-esque stuff:
    Flying Burrito Brothers
    New Riders of the Purple Sage and Dave NELSON Band today
    old Telluride tapes

    more psychedelic, heavy studio and distortion stuff is kinda out of my league, but
    Can
    Some Yes
    some Pink Floyd
    Focus -for grins and giggles
    Hendrix's Band of Gypsies
    Zeppelin, esp Houses of the Holy, and four/ZoSo/Led Zeppelin (whatever the actual name was)

    for the 70 easy mellow sound
    Bread
    Joni Mitchell
    Sweet Honey in the Rock

    Protest
    Dylan, excepting the jesus years
    Arlo (who is very much alive, check out daughter Sarah, too)
    Phil Ochs
    Billy Bragg
    Some Elvis Costello
    Jackson Browne (overlaps with mellow, above)
    some Springsteen


    C'mon, we are loving folk who can help a sister out...
    what do you see as a "textbook" of the sound?

    I sent her an offer for an open B&P

    I'll send her some David Nelson Band from a couple months ago.

    now THIS is what community is about!
    Please don't send her "Kick In The Head." that song deserves a LONG quiet retirement.

    The Grateful Deads Lyrics are about so much more than sex drugs and rock & roll (altough they do rock) They wrote songs about Love not Sex and heart wrenching ballads. I'll give ya drinkin referances but it's because it's Americana.
    Robert Hunter is on par with Dylan as far as song writing goes

    Black Peter
    Workingman's Dead
    (Garcia/Hunter)

    All of my friends come to see me last night
    I was layin' in my bed and dyin'
    Annie Bonneau, from Saint Angel,
    Say the weather down here, so fine

    Just then the wind came squalling through the dark
    But who can the weather command
    Just want to have a little peace to die
    And a friend or two I love at hand
    Fever roll up to a hundred and five
    Roll on up, gonna roll back down
    One more day, I find myself alive
    Tomorrow, maybe go beneath the ground

    See here how everything lead up to this day
    And it's just like any other day that's ever been
    Sun goin' up and then, the sun, it goin' down
    Shine through my window and my friends they come around
    Come around, come around

    The people might know, but the people don't care
    That a man can be as poor as me
    Take a look at poor Peter, he's lyin' in pain
    Now, let's go run and see
    Run and see.


    Days Between
    (Garcia/Hunter)

    There were days
    and there were days
    and there were days between
    Summer flies and August dies
    the world grows dark and mean
    Comes the shimmer of the moon
    on black infested trees
    the singing man is at his song
    the holy on their knees
    The reckless are out wrecking
    The timid plead their pleas
    No one knows much more of this
    than anyone can see anyone can see
    There were days
    and there were days
    and there were days besides
    when phantom ships with phantom sails
    set to sea on phantom tides
    Comes the lightning of the sun
    on bright unfocused eyes
    the blue of yet another day
    a springtime wet with sighs
    a hopeful candle lingers
    in the land of lullabies
    where headless horsemen vanish
    with wild and lonely cries lonely cries
    There were days
    and there were days
    and there were days I know
    when all we ever wanted
    was to learn and love and grow
    Once we grew into our shoes
    we told them where to go
    Walked halfway around the world
    on promise of the glow
    Stood upon a mountain top
    Walked barefoot in the snow
    Gave the best we had to give
    How much we'll never know we'll never know
    There were days
    and there were days
    and there were days between
    polished like a golden bowl
    The finest ever seen
    Hearts of Summer held in trust
    still tender, young and green
    left on shelves collecting dust
    not knowing what they mean
    Valentines of flesh and blood
    as soft as velveteen
    hoping love would not forsake
    the days that lie between lie between


    Rubin & Cherise
    Cats Under The Stars
    (Garcia/Hunter)

    Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down
    It was the afternoon of carnival as she brushes it gently down
    Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin
    It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade
    Played in the carnival parade
    Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white
    When a fatal vision gripped her tight Cherise beware tonight
    Rubin, Rubin tell me truly true
    I feel afraid and I don't know why I do, Is there another girl for you?

    If you could see in my heart you would know it's true
    There's none Cherise, except for you,
    Except for you
    I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, may I fall down cold

    When Rubin played on his painted mandolin
    The breeze would pause to listen in before going its way again
    Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke
    Like waves against the bandstand, dancers broke to the painted mandolin
    Looking out on the crowd who was standing there
    Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared
    She was dressed as Pirouette in red
    And her hair hung gently down
    The crowd pressed round, Ruby stood as though alone
    Rubin's song took on a different tone and he played it just for her
    The song that he played was the carnival parade
    Each note cut a thread of Cherise's fate it cut through like a blade
    Rubin was playing his painted mandolin
    When Ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings played all alone
    The voice of Cherise from the face of the mandolin
    Singing Rubin, Rubin tell me true for I have no one but you
    If you could see in my heart you would know it true
    There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you
    I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, may I fall down cold
    The truth of love an unsung song must tell
    The course of love must follow blind without a look behind
    Rubin walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn
    Cherise so lightly in his arms and her hair hung gently down

    No I agree...I was just making the point that the doors did so much more then have Jim wave his penis around. I totally agree GD is so much more. :)

    I met a girl last week who said she "hated" Bob Marley...it boggles the mind...hell I know folks who hate jambands and even Grateful Dead but still at least "like" Bob Marley....he appeals to so many musical tastes...how can you hate Bob? Good lord it's been a week and I'm still trying to figure that one out.
