any dead head traders out there? listen to the grateful dead in your hey day? still do? curious because i know a bunch of guys in the finance sector who were / still are. funny because it seems the general ethos of the band (or what i seem to get from them) doesn't seem to correspond with the public's general perception of finance.
Dead Head here - even lived in the Haight in my 20's which was their home. Lots of concerts. Went to Gerry's funeral at the GG park - super cool. This was the sticker on the back of my V.W. van. And yea, I did well over a hundred acid trips in my youth. Steve Jobs and many other of the Internet/high-tech innovators dropped acid and liked the dead.
Dead's music is almost unknown here (in the UK). I'm certain I've never heard a single track they've recorded. I am exploring the great music I missed in the 60's, 70's and 80's - which of their albums would be the best starting point?
Maybe my dad (Board of Trade Observer) will chime in here and discuss how he lost the argument about naming me "August West."
Most definitely: just google, youtube grateful dead europe 72 ...and you will smile, smile, smile......
