Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

#CoronaCouchTour Drinking/Smoking Game: Grateful Dead Movie Edition

Play along at home with your favorite intoxicant, unless you’re sober, in which case I have no idea what to do with you. I’m certainly not making it through this without some help.

SIP/SMALL TOKE:

  • Phil’s glorious Viking beard makes its first appearance.
  • Happy Hairy Hippy lip syncs to U.S. Blues.
  • Bill Graham yells at someone in Yiddish.
  • Hells Angel spotting.

GULP/LARGE, POWERFUL, AMERICAN BONG HIT

  • Keith gets a close-up.
  • Gas party scene.
  • OSHA regulations are laughed at/ignored/do not exist in 1974.
  • The thought “How the fuck did this animation cost $250,000” enters your head unbidden.

FINISH YOUR DRINK/BOWL

  • Any non-white person is on screen.
  • That guy accuses the Dead of selling out.
  • Stock footage of Pigpen.
  • John Perry Barlow shows up in his cowboy hat.
  • Billy is revealed to be Palpatine’s second cousin by marriage.

    I’ve been seeing a lot of clips from the grateful dead movie lately, they (kudos to whoever it is) have been rolling them out as Spotify canvases- short loops that play while song is playing. Had to laugh when the same clip was used for ripple and scarlet begonias 🙂 Spotify canvases is a neat new art form interesting to see what different artists are doing for theirs.
