- Pigpen’s tune Mr. Charlie is actually about Charlie Miller.
- Ironically, Front Street was used as a front by several major narcotics smugglers.
- The Yanomami people are unfamiliar with not only the Dead, but also the very concept of jamming.

What the fuck is this?
Dude, I’ve warned you about this. Next time you interrupt me when I’m in the Bullet Points, you’re getting your dick punched.
I don’t believe your threats. Again: What the fuck is this?
Well, I noticed that even though this site advertises itself as being about the Grateful Dead, there has been little-to-no Grateful Dead content in weeks, if not months.
And so you decided to rectify that with…this?
Yes.
Drinking again?
Yes.
Pathetic.
Yes.
No wonder I like TC so much!!
I work with performers / public speakers who often use Countryman microphones and always end up lecturing people and colleagues about Carl Countryman.
You are right on all of those!
Except for Cobain – behind the equipment boxes.
