I'll Be Grateful When They're Dead, Really Dead
By the time your blog host Krude was 27 years old, I had
practically seen it all. And lived to yell about it. 27 was my age when my son
was born and I was in the delivery room when he took his first breath and
cried. That moment alone sealed my fate. If I was to leave this world by means
none my own, my legacy would live on through him. Lucky me he is cool as fuck
and smart. And handsome. A wicked combo for a man. A dreamy combo for a idealistic
broad. Mahalo
I try not to live in the past. But being born with a
superior memory makes this task nearly impossible. I do what I do without
giving it much thought before I do it. This is because there is very little
that life has to offer that I haven't already seen or experienced. I know what
I like. And I know what hurts me.
blah blah blah...
What Krude really wants to do is beat up on the ongoing, never
ending musical touring act known as the Grateful Dead.
Ever since I can remember being interested in going to live
rock concerts,I remember the Grateful Dead. Seemed like they were this really
big deal because every time they came to the NY/NJ area they would sell out no
less than 3 arena shows in minutes. But I can only recall hearing 3 or 4 Dead
songs on the radio in the late 1970s and onward.Who is going to see this band
and why?
Drugs.
Listening to the Grateful Dead sober is torture for the most
part. They have a few catchy tunes. But for the most part their music is drug
fueled,jam based,meandering musical bullshit. Only tolerated by those prone to
being perpetually stoned. The people I knew in the 1980s that went to Dead
shows were going to the show to score a good buzz. And hear a few tunes.
Party on Garth...
Here we are in 2019. GD leader Jerry Garcia has been dead
since 1995. And something called Dead and Company is touring this
summer. D and C is a few GD members and perpetually tame John Mayer on
guitar. They play long jams built around some old Dead songs. And some
covers. While selling a zillion tickets to their shows. Why do people still go
to see this semblance of a former jam band? Some would say long term, secret
society mind control. Some would say they were chasing that initial 'high'. I
say that people just can't let go of the past for the sake of life drag
boredom. Whatever the reason is, Krude cannot justify sitting in a football
stadium with 60,000 other people while watching 70+ year old great grandpas
noodle their way into my wallet. Fucking lame.
Chasing old memories to relive the good times ain't my idea
of living life. Yet the mass populace of USA lives down to this standard every
waking minute. By choice. Thank you sir May I have another...
