44 - Truckin' With the Grateful Dead
Manage episode 335405672 series 3002419
The Grateful Dead are among the most unlikely stars in the history of rock and roll. They created a culture and became one of the most famous bands in the world on their own terms. They toured relentlessly, made things up as they went and didn’t care about making mistakes. They never cared about being famous, and would probably hate me even calling them stars in this monologue.
In this trippy episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re taking a look at Grateful Dead – the music, the drugs, the bootlegs, the Deadheads, their impact on music, their legacy, and what it’s like seeming in them in concert. Turn on, tune in, and drop out.
