Happy Earth Day, Earthlings
Well, it’s the only planet like it (unless you listen to NASA), so we might as well celebrate it. Happy Earth Day, Earthlings. Here are a few of my favorite Earth-related treasures: (click on the underlined, hyperlinked words to see more) These photos of Earth from space over at Nat Geo. Any one of these […]
The Epic Tour: A Grateful Dead… Video Game?
December 19, 2011
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 […]
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, […]
Psychedelic Readings for the Psychedelic Curious
November 28, 2010
A few days ago I finished reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson. I’ve seen the movie by the same name countless times, but never without smoking a bowl or ten prior. In later [pot free] years I would on several occasions start to put on the DVD – and in […]
Bob Weir on Economics and the End of Time
August 11, 2010
A few months ago I wrote about the business of the Grateful Dead as inspired by my visit to the NY Historical Society’s Dead exhibit. Today I stumbled upon two interviews with Bob Weir from different economic resources that discuss everything from his personal finances and business decisions to the 2012 prophecy of the end […]
