Sun King said: I first saw the grateful dead in 1984 and the whole second set was space and other weird shit. I was like WTF? this shit sucks. I like the 1972 stuff and that's about it.
I liked them best when they were pretending to be a country band. Merle Haggard and Marty Robbins covers. Fuck yeah. The Eep Hour stuff not so much

Agreed
The stuff they're playing in Festival Express is actually really good
As a blues/country band they were great.
Friend of the Devil is still one of my favorite songs

If you don't choose bands by their politics it means that if Keith Richards was a Nazi you would still dig them...
Music is the most exploited form of art, it's actually not even art any more, it's background for a cookie-cutter image, and people confuse their personal identity with the music they like, so when I say "the stones suck" you get upset because you think these bands create an image of who you as a person are, so when people say "the stones suck" you hear "you suck"
A true individual doesn't think that the art of others somehow creates an image of themselves...
I don't give a fuck about a 60s radical image as you claim, I do however appreciate the art of those who were able to look at the world, interpret it for themselves, and act based on their personal interpretations, and not based on the expectations of the culture that surrounds them, I appreciate the work of true individuals, freethinkers, and freaks ...I think the fact that I like music from that era but can still go against what the majority of people think about the music from that times proves that rather than conform to a set of standards or a set image, I was able to sit down, listen to these bands, and decide on my own what I think about them, regardless of what anybody says ...and when I see artists who are true individuals, real freaks, I can often dig what they are doing...When I see selfish, greedy , FAKE, excuses for some form of rebellion I can call them like I see them, a bunch of up-tight stuffy conservatives in costumes, selling an image to anyone who will buy it, pseudo-rebellious pseudo-art preformed by conservative dousche-bags in costumes...
There's no way you can change a person's personal preference, so in the mean, try to take it easy when others don't agree with you, it's not an attack on you in any way.
-E. Borodin
What a bunch of bullshit. Almost every single musician is a politically ignorant, uninformed jerkoff pandering to their audience for money. Like Jon Stewart. Shut up and sing. The Stones and the Who wisely eschewed much political expression because it would effect their bottom line. Remember what happened with the Dixie Chicks? And Abbie Hoffman was a moron who had no business being on the stage. Aside from that I suspect your political views are incredibly vapid. If you aren't a conservative yoyu are uptight? Fuck off with your bigotry.

They kicked the door in for the Grunge Era, which was the last time any decent music was made. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots...the Seattle sound. That was in the 1990s & there hasn't been anything worthwhile since. What has happened to the guitar gods? The garage rock? Nowadays, all I ever hear about is Bieber & Miley. What a joke.

Plenty of decent music is still being made. You have to dig a bit deeper than the radio these days is all.
