"Scarlet Begonias" by The Grateful Dead

Gary Sibio @garysibi (702) • Chicago, Illinois 12 Oct 18

This is one of my favorite songs by Grateful Dead. It describes the first time Jerry Garcia met Janis Joplin. The best line in the song, IMO, goes "Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at...

The Horse almost arrested on gluttony and hedonism charges

The Horse @TheHorse (238298) • Walnut Creek, California 19 Oct 16

I admit it. I deserved to be harassed by the police today. It occurred in the "elite" (Martin, Taylor, Gibson) guitar room of Guitar Center Concord CA at about 5:45 PM. I had stopped at Stevie Coyle's guitar store, called Might...

Discovering and Rediscovering Music

Sherry @norcal (4889) • Franklinton, North Carolina 30 Apr 16

I am not a musician, but I have loved music all of my life. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for "classic rock," the psychedelic rock and blues-rock of the 1960s. I had the privilege of attending live performances of many...

KidKarma @KidKarma (46) • United States 19 Apr 09

The Grateful Dead are playing near my town this weekend. I've been a Dead fan for years now but I'm not sure how I feel about the Dead without Jerry. I still think it would be an amazing experience to go regardless, but my husband...
