An Open Letter To Kidd Candelario In 1972

Dear Kidd Candelario in 1972,

Hi. How are you? I’m fine, but the future is terrible. You should stay in 1972.

Anyway, when you are recording Dead shows in 1972, could you please turn Keith up? Betty made me Keith really loud, except by the time Betty took over the tape deck, Keith was playing kinda shitty some nights. In 1972, however, Keith was a god; you cannot hear him.

To reiterate: make Keith louder. Also, if this letter reaches you in the first half of 1972, then you need to stop the Olympics. I don’t know how that might be accomplished, but if anyone can get the Olympics cancelled, it’s the Dead. If you are reading this in the latter half of the year, then I am sorry about what happened at the Olympics.

Sincerely,
TotD

Rock The Boat

Garcia had a rule: if you’re on the water, it doesn’t count. And I’m gonna be honest with you and it pains me, this fact, but it needs to be out there: Garcia lured the entire crew onto the boat and forced himself on them in an explicitly gay way. Parrish accepted his fate stoically, but Ramrod struggled and founght and tried to slither away, and he was wiry-strong.

There’s nowhere to run on a boat, though. And nothing counted on the water, according to Garcia.

We need to have a serious discussion and I think the HR person needs to be in the room.
