It caught a lot of people's ears just now when Obama said, "We are not a deadbeat nation. When marriages fail, the deadbeat dad is the norm in American society, not the exception. In a bizarre twist, the U. S Government has apparently adopted a tactic normally reserved for deadbeat dads on Superbowl Sunday. The sparrow was deadbeat , and was travelling slowly to the north and west on a zigzag course, about two hundred feet high. I knew you looked a deadbeat , but Id no idea I was quite so bad, he said.

  • Stigma and the Inappropriately Stereotyped: the Deadhead Professional By
    Stigma and the Inappropriately Stereotyped: The Deadhead Professional By: Rebecca G. Adams Adams, R. G. 2003. Stigma and the Inappropriately Stereotyped: The Deadhead Professional. Sociation Today. v.1, no.1. Made available courtesy of NC Sociological Association: http://www.ncsociology.org/sociationtoday/deadhead.htm ***Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document The Grateful Dead, a North American rock band that stopped performing in 1995 after thirty years together, was as well known for its fans as it was for its music. Deadheads, as these fans are called, traveled from venue to venue to hear the band play, sometimes staying "on tour" with them for extended periods of time. Although there is still a large concentration of Deadheads in the San Francisco Bay area where the band originally performed, there are now Deadheads everywhere in the United States and in many foreign countries as well. The community claims at least a half million members (Adams & Rosen-Grandon, 2002). It is not only remarkable among music communities because of the length of time it has survived, how geographically dispersed it is, and how large it is, it is also noteworthy because of the length and intensity of involvement of individual fans. When the band stopped playing together as the Grateful Dead, the average Deadhead had been attending their concerts for 10 or 11 years, and more than half of them had traveled at least 800 miles to attend a show (Adams, 1998b). In 2003, almost eight years after the death of Jerry Garcia, the band's lead guitarist, Deadheads remain loyal to the community and continue to attend concerts given by surviving members.

  • This Is a Great Band, and I Had a Great Time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead Founding Member (Guitar/Vocalist)
    “This is a great band, and I had a great time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead founding member (guitar/vocalist) “Inspired and accomplished musical discourse at such a deep and serious level: I had no problem at all believing that this was what the Grateful Dead sounded like 40 years ago.” David Gans, Grateful Dead Hour “I've always been impressed by DSO, but the other night I thought they'd taken it to a new level. It was some of the best Grateful Dead music I've heard in the past 20 years, and that covers some ground. Somehow, Jeff Mattson manages to play Jerry's parts perfectly in the spirit, but without any sense of being imitative. And boy, does the band pick up on this energy. Big fun!” Dennis McNally, Grateful Dead publicist & biographer 1980 – 1995; Author “A Long Strange Trip: The History of the Grateful Dead” “As one who is classically trained, I actually always thought that DSO was very cool, treating Grateful Dead music as repertoire- much as I've tried to do in my various bands.” Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead founding member (bass/vocals) “Playing with Dark Star Orchestra is something that feels just exactly like it felt when I was playing with the Grateful Dead.” Donna Jean Godchaux, Grateful Dead vocalist, frequent DSO guest “There are moments where I can close my eyes and go back 30 years and have it be every bit as rewarding and satisfying. Dark Star is an amazingly legitimate representation of the Dead.” Dan Healy, Grateful Dead sound engineer 1966 -1994 “Thank you for a real good time.” Jon Fishman, Phish drummer after sitting in with DSO “The Dark Star Orchestra re-creates Grateful Dead shows with a flashback-inducing meticulousness.” The New Yorker “...recreates the Dead concert experience with uncanny verisimilitude.

  • The Other Ones the Strange Remain (Arista)
    The Other Ones The Strange Remain (Arista) The recipe for a successful jam-band reunion reads something like this: three parts Grateful Dead, two parts Bruce Hornsby and the Range, a splash of sax, garnish with a couple of guitarists, serve chilled. As the Other Ones' performance at last year's Furthur Festival proved, you can't keep a good band down. Three years after the death of Jerry Garcia, founding members of the Grateful Dead–Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and Mickey Hart–put the act back on the road. Bruce Hornsby, who joined the band temporarily in 1990, played keyboards and brought along longtime drummer John Molo from the Range (and, recently, Hart's Planet Drum). John Ellis of Weir's Ratdog added some brass. Steve Kimock (who played with former Dead members Keith and Donna Godchaux) and Mark Karan filled in on guitars. This project is hardly a Dead rehash; the two-CD set collects recordings made at the Furthur Festival, spotlighting the new, the old and the different. Weir struts his stuff on "Jack Straw," and on the unreleased "Corrina." Hornsby's "White-Wheeled Limousine" and "Rainbow's Cadillac" get the full-out Dead jam treatment. "Only the Strange Remain," an eerie trip, is originally from Mickey Hart's Mystery Box. The bluesy "Banyan Tree," penned by Weir, Hart and Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, debuted just last year. Lesh shines vocally on "Mountains of the Moon," where fans insist his voice sounds better than it has in decades. Jerry is obviously not on this album, and on tunes such as "Friend of the Devil," "St.

  • Understanding ‗It': Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish
    Understanding ‗It‘: Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish Scene By C2010 Elizabeth Anne Yeager Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie J. Tucker ________________________________ Ben Chappell ________________________________ Henry Bial ________________________________ Eric Weisbard ________________________________ Nicole Hodges Persley Date Defended: December 14, 2010 ii The Dissertation Committee for Elizabeth Anne Yeager certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Understanding ‗It‘: Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish Scene ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie J. Tucker Date approved: April 18, 2011 iii Abstract ―Understanding It: Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish Scene‖ is an ethnographic study of ―scene identity‖ around the contemporary rock band Phish. Utilizing data generated from six years of ethnographic fieldwork, including over one hundred and fifty interviews with Phish scene participants, this project explores how the production of space at Phish shows works to form a Phish scene identity. I contend that the identity of the Phish scene, what the band members and fans refer to as ―it‖ and I call a spatial articulation of affective authenticity, is produced and formed by scene members themselves, drawing from the interrelations between the production of space (practices that create a specific environment) at shows and a white, middle and upper-middle class cultural memory of the Grateful Dead scene. I situate this process amidst a cultural backdrop of 1980s and 1990s identity politics and in particular, multiculturalism and suggest that Phish scene identity be analyzed as a middle class performance of resistance that achieves community and meaning without resisting class privilege.
