Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

To me, it's just plain disrespectful.

It is. Half of their audience probably didn't even notice though

As I recall, attendance actually dropped quite a bit for a while. This was about the time they were kinda fucked by yet another manager and were in dire financial straits. They proceeded to bust out a handful of pretty shitty albums and Jerry would check himself into rehab for a heroin addiction. He had a (and this is eighties dollars) a $700 a day habit. So, he did all sorts of other stupid jobs and gigs.

The history of the Grateful Dead is pretty interesting. There are a number of good books on the subject, but I recommend Planet Drum by Mickey Hart as a good starting point.

I know a friend who had a bunch of shrooms, like a whole trunkful and followed the dead around from show to show in the 80's. That's about the extent of my knowledge of the Dead's history
