It is sad that people can't understand that from some hearing the Dead play is something you can't explain. I truly understand that you don't like their music, and I'm OK with that. Please understand that for those of us who "get it", and really like it there is nothing in the world that can compare. There is a certain engery exchange that happens between the band and their fans. It is truly a special thing, I wish you could feel what I feel.
...and if you think the band sang about drugs you are wrong. I don't deny that a lot of the fans where on them, but the majority of the songs never touch that subject.
