You know I’ve really gotten into the Grateful Dead.

I was looking for some good music to listen to on vacation while smoking pot, and I knew my stoner friend from years ago was a big fan of Grateful Dead. We used to listen a lot in his car, he had Sirus XM Radio with the Grateful Dead channel.

The thing is I’ve gotten to like the Grateful Dead even when I’m stone cold sober. It’s not clear if it’s because my brain has been permanently rewired or if just good music bringing me back to those days of yore – both on vacation and listening to the records in his car. Or a logical progression of musical tastes. But the Grateful Dead is just such good music.
