Oh man... I can't stand the Grateful Dead. I mean, they really bug the shit out of me. I'm not worried about this upsetting friends of mine, who I know love them, they know how I feel. I've had heated discussions with some of them about the Dead. Hey, I have some music in my collection that they can't stand. So why do I have so many Dead records? Well, my godfather was/is a huge fan. He was also someone who took really good care of all his vinyl. When I started getting into records at 13, I noticed the cool records he had, Stevie Wonder etc... Anyway, when he gave me his records to me he made a special point of telling me about his Dead records, and said don't get rid of them. I have such respect for him, and the deal struck that day that I keep these in my collection, even though I don't listen to them. In fact now as I write this, I'm listening to some of them for the first time in a long time, and I'm remembering why I have the loathe in my heart for the Dead. Out of all these albums there's probably only four songs I can stand. So, there you go...my Grateful Dead records.
