The Epic Tour: A Grateful Dead… Video Game?
This morning I checked my Grateful Dead news (from an official, exclusive source that goes by the name of “Google”) and was grabbed by a headline that announced an upcoming Grateful Dead video game titled The Epic Tour, to be released online and for mobile devices. This may not be news to you as it […]
If I were a budding country music flower
June 22, 2011
If I were a budding country music flower, I would sprout from one of Nashville’s towering Magnolia trees. I would overlook Centennial Park’s ode to the Greeks and reach for the wafts of air infused with kettle corn. When the sun became too hot and the air too thick, I would call on the rains […]
UPDATE: The Furthur Experiment @ TRI Studios
June 9, 2011
After server issues during Tuesday night’s Furthur show at http://www.tristudios.com, there has been chatter about how TRI will make it up to all the paying viewers who missed out on part or all of the webcast. Some people complained unforgivably while others waited patiently, certain TRI, Furthur, and Bob Weir would offer a solution. Just […]
The Furthur Experiment @ TRI Studios – 6/07/2011
June 8, 2011
Earlier in the day it felt as if I had made up my mind. I’ve been to concerts before, once seeing Furthur at Coney Island in New York. Hours before I would feel the pre-show buzz all the way from my hands to my feet. The feeling distracts from anything else going on around you […]
At TRI Studios, Weir Keeps On Keepin’ On
June 2, 2011
While it may have been news to me around this time last year, it’s fairly known that the Grateful Dead were business and cultural pioneers of their time – hell, of anyone’s time. They managed to accomplish things that today require a slew of social networking technologies in a time where there were none. Facebook, […]
Monsters and Deadheads
May 31, 2011
As I’ve confessed before, I’m kind of clueless when it comes to new music. It’s not that I don’t like the music of our day; it’s really more that I was taught, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” What comes out of my iPod ain’t broke so I haven’t been too inclined to seek […]
My Steps Alone
March 24, 2011
This morning a lyric popped into my head, relentless in being heard. I don’t know why it happened when it did and I can’t recall anything in particular that inspired it, but it was this: “There is a road, no simple highway between the dawn and the dark of night.” At age 17, it had […]
Truckin': Europe '11
March 13, 2011
It’s been a few months, but I assure you, Becoming Dead is alive and well. Here’s what’s been going on… In late 2010, I discovered an opportunity and decided pretty quickly that I was going to pounce on it. And I did. I quit my job, left New York City, said goodbye to loved ones, […]
Riders on the Storm
August 17, 2010
I hadn’t been caught in a good thunderstorm in a long time and if you had asked me, I didn’t particularly want to be. But for some reason when I left work today, I welcomed the downpour. Seeing as I had a five minute walk in squeaky flip flops to the train, this attitude came […]
