reviewed Grateful Dead Reader on July 03, 2014 Grateful Dead Reader
If you like the Grateful Dead and reading, you'll like this book. Aptly titled!
David Dodd is a blessed servant to contemporary and future Dead fans, those of us who never could have seen the band play live. His compendium of lyrics, myth, and stories about the band will forever give later arrivals like me the ability to learn about the late 20th century fire that was the Grateful Dead scene. Thanks David!
It amazes me to learn about all the 'zines produced by people to share their love of the Dead. The band and their musical experience meant so much to so many, and that feeling inspired entire genres of new art. More than anything, I appreciate Dodd's "The Grateful Dead Reader" for that: giving these small-time writers the platform to speak to future generations. I just can't see myself ever reading through old magazines, but I'm so glad that some of their best writing is preserved.
Also anything Robert Hunter writes/says is worth my attention, and he gets some good cover in here.
