I will get by… I will survive.
I know it’s considered hipster canon to hate on The Dead, but they had plenty of bangers. The major problem with The Dead is if you let people know you actually enjoy them, some dude will talk your goddamn ear off about it, every chance he gets. I miss the pre-internet obsessives, who would just randomly be like, “Oh yeah, I have over 300 shows on tape. Hold up, let me go grab my favorite three!” because you knew that dude was deep into his obsession, and had truly – through an ongoing and over-indulgent appreciation – gained insight that was worth hearing. But post-internet, folks can too easily gobble up that information from others and assume it as their own, then talk to my stuck on the same seat of a Greyhound bus ass for far too long. We’ve had artificial intelligence for as long as we’ve had a mainstream internet, to be honest.
By the way, if there are any wealthy beneficiaries out there, please bootleg RFK Stadium, June 14, 1991, and send me a copy. That was a particularly memorable event that I don’t really remember.
