Article: Why are so many Grateful Dead fans being murdered?

I think I'm out. You getting back in, when covid's done?

Has Eric Clapton beaten his sugar addiction?

Hmmm. Possibly the work of the first serial killer motivated by good taste.

...in the 90's i bought a rescue ferret off a homeless dead head on haight street in SF and gave him to a vet who got him another home in a state where they were legal .

I gotta say, the Grateful Dead ruined me for all other jam bands that came afterwards. I know I should "open my mind", and that there's a lot of good music out there, but... I just can't!

I'm slowly working my way through the free GD archives, trying to listen to all ~3700 shows that were recorded between 1966-1995.

If I can do that, before I'll die, I will be a happy puppy.

I've seen so much, it's good to be seen, still recovering.

Wait, what? That's gotta be slang, right?

I know he had a serious heroin problem in the 70s and 80s, and I think cocaine too from the late 60s onward.

If that's what you're referring to, I think he got sober...Or at least he started "Crossroads", a free rehab place for poor/struggling musicians. Which, even if The Clap isn't still clean, is a nice gesture on his part.

You definitely should try.

The dead used to send out a fan letter. That was some cool stuff to read.

It [the pattern of addiction] started with sugar. When I was 5 or 6 years old I was cramming sugar down my throat as fast as I could get it down. Sweets, you know, sugar on bread and butter…I became addicted to sugar because it changed the way I felt.

You're seen baby!!! And you're beautiful!

i'm addicted to very cold whole milk

this thread needs a laugh

My dad once told me " the world doesn't care if you become a bum and live under a bridge and in many ways prefers it.."

Most deadheads I met overall were way more woke about the gov ment and CT than the normies.

Think what you want with that info.

I almost cried for The Grateful Dead. Thanks for snapping me out of it.

it's just a personal joke. i say about all of rock n roll

ween is the best band in the history of history

its hard to convince me other wise

ween ruins all other music, nothing is that good

Interesting story...

If the premise is true, I'd say there are a multiple of factors, not limited to the obvious:

1) We are generally naive, and trusting of strangers
2) Generally non-violent
3) Lots of drugs, leading to bad judgement and character discernment

I hope that doesn't sound harsh, and my list certainly doesn't apply to every Dead Head, but... a lot of them.

But since this is GLP, I'm assuming some of you will say this is due to a purported Satantic/CIA/Mk Ultra connection.

Yes, Bobby and Micky have attended BoGrove, reportedly.

Anyway, food for thought. Interesting artcile. Have at it, GLP

You're GD right about that, buddy

It's easy to lump Dead fans together as "liberals", when in fact they are, in many respects -- or were, anyway -- the cutting edge of the true Counter-culture.

Yeah, I know the hippies were manipulated by CIA and project whats-its-face, but I agree with you Patagonians-- we're more than meets the eye. A lot of us see through the veil, the illusions of power/politics.

That's what makes us (somewhat) dangerous to the power structure.
