- Dave comes thiiiiiiiis close to ranking the months by his personal preference.
- Take a step back, Dave.
- Not because the folks up front are getting kinda squashed, but because the top of your head is cut off.
- Maybe you should have someone help you with these?
- Like your wife, Regina.
- Or one of your children, Gordie, Girl Gordie, Northstar, Jean-Luc, Fleece, and the twins, Billie and Mickie.
- David Lemieüxtleycrüe is too thin.
- Is it Canorexia?
- (Canorexia is the Canadian version of anorexia, in which the sufferer refuses to put maple syrup on anything.)
- Bird.
- I would contribute to a GoFundMe that hired a guy in a Sea Monster suit to lurch out of the water behind DL and attack him while he’s talking about 1973.

Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To
© 2021 Thoughts On The Dead
Theme by Anders Noren — Up ↑
David Lemieux”s infomercials for GD product are exactly what Garcia must have had in mind when he named the grateful dead. These infomercials do not insult my intelligence at all. David L seems so sincere. It’s as if he’s not actually trying to sell anything. He’s just having a nice chat in front of the sea. I love how he bestows equal amounts of love on the 90s GD and the 70s GD. Robert Hunter must have loved these infomercials. I know I love advertisements that are disguised as simple, honest conversation.
When I dispense a piece of gum from my GD gumball machine I like to chew it while David explains to me how I should perceive various GD music. I almost feel like play-acting/dancing like the spinners used to do. Hell, it almost makes me feel like buying a 10 dollar bottle of water after being herded into a parking lot where I was searched for plastic containers which might be filled with refreshing beverages.
These DL infomercials are what the acid tests were all about. I’d even trade my signed copy of Who Shot The Water Buffalo for a dvd compilation containing all of DL’s sales pitches. I actually enjoy these talks with David more than I do the actual music. I enjoy them almost as much as I enjoy drooling over GD show statistics. I don’t know. In fact the only thing I do know is when it’s time to go.
Love, love, love it picks you up and spins you round, and sets you right back down on the beach filming infomercials.
Ken Babbs sucks.

DL; Hey kid. Wanna buy some crack? I love stringing folks out on my product.
kid: I thought Garcia said when the Dead were done with it we could have it.
DL; Garcia is long, long gone, kid. But you can still have it. Think of it…a fully formed Dark Star!
kid: As opposed to what? The Greek ’84 version? The single??
DL: You should subscribe. But if you don’t that’s okay, too.
kid: It’s okay if I don’t subscribe? Gee, that’s awfully nice of you mister.
