Casey Jones better, watch your speed. Riding that train....

A fog of marijuana hung over the crowd, the Reuters news agency reported.

Makes sense - you would need to be high to vote for this guy.......

[Miss Didi]

Like wow man...Jerry Garcia endorsement.

[Dr. Sivana]

Brilliant move by Obama, this cuts into Clintons base of elderly voters.

[Slapshot68]

“A fog of marijuana hung over the crowd, the Reuters news agency reported.”

But no one inhaled.

[A_Former_Democrat]

A decent human being would reject this “endorsement.”

[Revolting cat!]

Is that groovy or what?

[bigfootbob]

Where was the concert...New Orleans?

[Disturbin]

"Wowwwwwwwwwwww, man!"

[cowboyway]

"If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are," Cooper also remarked. "Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal."---Alice Cooper

Remember the good old days, back before the Grateful Dead even got sick?

[joebuck]

"probably the most prolific and enduring psychedelic rock band"

I believe Pink Floyd would take exception to that.

[I_like_good_things_too]

I love the Dead & all, but I wouldn’t look to them for advice on who to vote for (or anything else in life). Anyone for whom this would have an impact is already firmly in the democrat column.

But then again, they’ll probably be too baked to go vote.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I always thought this band was totally lame! And now, they continue to be lame!

[MarineBrat]

The Dead are dead! Long die the dead!

[dfwgator]

Well I guess that pretty much means Ann Coulter is going to vote for Obama if McCain is the nominee.

[I still care]

“But when it came to leading the multitudes, Garcia was unambiguous: “Our trip was never to go out and change the world. I mean, what would we change it to? Whatever we did would probably be worse than the way it is now.”

Actually, Obama voters should ask themselves the same thing.

He’s the candidate of “change” but what does he want to change America TO?

[ichabod1]

Oh, gag me. Only reason I used to like the dead was they kept their opinions to themselves about things like this.

[BansheeBill]

The usually apolitical group waded into the presidential campaign Monday in a press conference...

Bob Weir in an interview on "The Grateful Dead Hour" radio program last year:

The only difference between George Bush and Hitler, is that Hitler was actually elected."

I saw over 100 shows back in the 80's and early 90's, and had a blast. I was an on-the-road drummer myself at the time. What can I say ...... I partied bigtime, and I enjoyed it. Even though I don't share the same political or social philosophies now as the musicians themselves, I still consider myself a Deadhead. We still crank up old shows on the weekends at home. Can't say that I agree with their little endorsement, but that's the beauty of America. I doubt if Jerry were still around that he'd be doing this. He was a real anti-politically active guy.

This is from a show at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin in '87. Me(on the right) with my (late)girlfriend from at the time.
