no offense to deadheads alright, the greatful dead are a great band and they are very talented musicians but do not worship these men they arent gods just good musicians
i am not trying to be a jerk man i was just saying they are not gods alright, they are good musicians and i like them and just because someone doesnt believe in something that you do u do not need to tell them to shut up!!!!!!
sorry man, i just don't see the point in saying it man, some people watching this will be like old school hippie trippin beards man, they know the shit
well people believe that those gods are immortal. nobody knows for sure. just like nobody knows if the grateful dead are immortal. some have died, but who knows if their spirits as gods are watching over us? religion is such a puzzling concept...
I remember when this was released in I think 1987 and hearing it on the radio and saying to myself "Wow, I really like this new George Harrison song" only to find out it was the Dead. It sounds just like George's voice from his Dark Horse period and the guitar solo has him written all over it. Great song.
You are correct. The overplay causes some Dead fans to ignore this song. Too bad....I think Jerry's best lyrics are in this song. They are biting and directed at someone or possibly everyone.
I am glad that I liked the song before I knew it was overplayed. That may have tainted my view of it. I'm not even that much of a "Dead" fan, but they do have some really good songs, including this one.
good song i love the dead check it out i made a better version of candyman in my head i need someone with a studio to make the song come to life can u help me i live in orlando
Grateful Dead Kidde bubblegum music. Once I was in the front row center. They started with this song. I looked at Gerry and mouthed the words "I hate this". He nodded his head and laughed as he continued on. And the music video they made was the worst vid in MTV history. Pretty damn sad for the finest band in the universe.
Yeah, I'm so sure Gerry [sic] actually saw you mouthing some bullshit and gave enough of a shit to nod his head and smile at you. Give it a rest, tool. No one cares about the stories you have to make up in order to get attention.
Well the thing is that people would buy into anything he did because of who Jerry was. I can remember times when he was playing complete crap and nodding out on stage. But everyone just ate it up. They did not know the difference. People heart what they want to hear and see what they want to se. Like I saw him in a small venue one time and he was smoking on stage. Of course he was smoking cigarettes but every time he lit up people cheered believing it was a joint. Love is strange...
Oh no I am not. Anyone who followed the band years ago and went to concerts knows I am right. If they saw him live at the worst times. I mean the Touch of Gray deal was not bad muscic. But is was prety much a low point for the band. And the MTV video was designed to hit on a totally different audience. The teeny bopper bubble gum crowd. Just look at the audience in the video. The album and video amounted to the band allowing a bunch of teenagers to ass rape them. Slipknot this is not.

That is exactly the point. They constructed the song with the Bubble Gum teenage sound to get a hit. Being a top ten hit just means that it is a catchy tune. Not that it is good music. I mean there is nothing wrong with it. But is is a song for little junior high school kids that still wear diapers at nights so they won't pee in the bed . These kid's would not know a hit of acid if it was right in front of their face.

what are you talking about..you make no sense...he was playing crap and nodding cuz he was fucked up on some lsd and so was everyone else everything sound bad ass on cid
I was the Flower Child, I love my parents for being hippies and raising me in that enviorment, and raising me listening to the dead. They have always brightened my day.
As a fan of the Dead I'm really gald they did this song becasue, as these messages point out, a lot of people who didn't normally dig on the Dead really liked this song. I would ask these folks to check out more of the bands stuff, becasue there is a lot in there.
I was never a big Grateful Dead fan...but this song is really great (or should I say Grate). Makes me smile and feel good! I bought this tape (before CDs were the thing) and think I wore it out! Thanks for the memories!
YamTost, my foot has your asshole's name on it. You would be honored to pay Jerry Garcia a million dollars just to blow him for 5 seconds. Go listen to your indy shit, Hitler lover.
I don't understand how I hate jews, disabled, gays, etc. by not liking the song. I'm actually really offended because I am jewish. Okay, but I'm not gonna be stupid and call you names because you have different views than I do. I don't know how yopu could get so upset over a comment.
great song. i remember hearing it on pbs after Jerry died. i was like 7 and my dad let me stay up all night watching the special. i always think of that night when i hear it.
I was at the monterey show when they filmed this video, I wish i could go back to that time in my life, it was beautiful...and seldomseen, you are the worst sorry excuse for a deadhead with that shitty attitude, just dig it and shut up.
maybe not to you seldom233 i listen to alot of music and lots of diff kind this is my fav grateful dead song and i hope this doesnt make you respond like a complete moron its also the only dead song ive ever liked
