He's Gone.
In a move calculated to appeal to the aging hippies who now run Silicon Valley, Violin is entering readers of its marketing white paper-type docs into a Grateful Dead concert ticket sweepstake. Marketing head Amy Love said that with "the directional relevance of being 'Grateful that Disk is Dead', we are enabling our customers …
" Grateful Dead fans are still young and old, rich and poor, from all races, genders and proclivities. Some, like myself, are total failures, others have achieved impressive heights. Hard to generalize."
Here's a pretty good generalization: They don't know much about music.
So creative! Are you readying your new version of Pong for global domination?
Deadheads rarely run out of drugs for too long, and even when we do, we don't succumb to mindless pop music. Honestly, the Dead didn't put on shows, they played music. Sometimes, it emphatically sucked, other times, it was transcendent. I could suggest a youtube vid or two if you're interested...
"they played music" - very debatable"
Really? If you play at all, try playing some stuff off American Beauty.
If you can......
Their chording is complex and difficult. The Dead were always excellent musicians - you cant be that sloppy without knowing what you're doing.
"The group is staging a 'Fare Thee Well' concert in Santa Clara, California, on 27 June this year, and Violin will stump up airfares, accommodation and concert tickets to grand prize lottery winners. There are several lesser prizes as well."
No no, there can be no lesser prizes. It's just not possible.
