Read the Dead's bassist Phil Lesh's book--the darkness existed within the band as well. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there are two Grateful Deads--the one that appears at first glance all positive and sunshine/peace/love/good vibrations and the other Grateful Dead--dark, hedonistic, drug saturated. I was a huge fan in the early 1980s--saw them 30 times.
I have some thoughts and ideas about this band/phenomenon that are religious in nature and potentially devisive and won't share them in this thread but would gladly talk about it through PM. I'm not a kook, either (at least I hope not)
