  • How Do the Grateful Dead and Deadheads 'Mean'?
    Matthew Tift University of Wisconsin-Madison “How Do the Grateful Dead and Deadheads ‘Mean’?” 09 March 2001 What exactly is a work of music? Is it the sounds we hear? Is it the sounds we are intended to hear? Is a musical work something that can only be defined using metaphors? Must it be organized sound? Is it beyond definition? About the only acceptable answer to these ontological questions is that the nature of a musical work is not universally understood. Nevertheless, by phrasing questions of musical identity differently, some popular music scholars find answers that are more rewarding. Richard Middleton, a well-respected popular music scholar, points out, “popular music analysis has insisted . on the priority of meaning.”1 One method for discussing meaning is to foreground questions of process, thereby avoiding questions of product. Simon Frith, another doyen of popular music studies, writes, “too often attempts to relate musical forms to social processes ignore the ways in which music is itself a social process.”2 By concentrating on social processes, one can more easily address such issues as musical meaning and social significance. This variety of analysis is sometimes described as process philosophy.3 Christopher Small’s advocation of process philosophy is perhaps the most resonant. Small is concerned with questions that address how musical activities are interconnected. In his 1998 book, Musicking, Christopher Small challenges the dominant Western idea of music as a thing and explores the idea of music as an activity. In fact, he creates a new word specifically for 1 Middleton, Reading Pop, 104.

  • Jerry Garcia Paintings & Drawings: 1961–1995
    ART EXHIBITION Jerry Garcia Paintings & Drawings: 1961–1995 June 12—September 6, 2020 This summer, the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) presents the first survey of legendary musician Jerry Garcia’s lifelong visual art practice. Garcia, born and raised in San Francisco and a lifelong Bay Area resident, was deeply influenced by the city's colorful and diverse cultures. When he was a teenager, Garcia studied visual art at SFAI (then called the California School of Fine Arts) with teachers including Wally Hedrick, a seminal American visual artist of the Bay Area Beat Generation. Garcia's painting and drawing practice continued throughout his life and provided a creative refuge in an extremely public and successful career. The exhibition includes more than 60 works, both figurative and abstract, including ink and charcoal drawings, watercolors, and digital paintings, along with a selection of Garcia’s sketchbooks. It is curated by Andrew McClintock from the collection of Deborah Koons Garcia, Garcia’s widow who received her MFA in film at SFAI. Jerry Garcia was a composer, songwriter, and guitarist who played with The Jerry Garcia Band, the Grateful Dead, and David Grisman. General Information San Francisco Art Institute – Fort Mason’s galleries are open to the public Wednesday - Sunday 11am - 7pm and are located on Pier 2 within Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, 2 Marina Blvd., San Francisco, CA.

It combines an extensive engagement with the music of the Grateful Dead, as well as other related musicians, along with a wide variety of readings from non- musical history, political science, philosophy and cultural studies in order to encourage a deep reflection on what the countercultures of the 1960s meant in their heyday, and what their descendants continue to mean today in both musical and non-musical realms. It aims to be both an introduction to those interested in the Grateful Dead, though largely born after the group’s disbandment in 1995, as well as to appeal to those with a broader interest in recent cultural history. Because the University of California – Santa Cruz is the home of the Grateful Dead Archive, students are encouraged to make use of it. However, given the number of students in the course and limitations of UCSC Special Collections its use will not be required. Readings All texts will be available through UCSC’s online system.

  • From Deadend to Deadhead Marketing: Lessons Learned from an Iconic Band by Nancy Pekala
    From Deadend to Deadhead Marketing: Lessons Learned from an Iconic Band by Nancy Pekala Are you in need of some inspiration to make your brand innovative and iconic? You need look no further than Jerry Garcia and his band of merry music makers. The Grateful Dead, arguably one of the most iconic bands in history, offers marketers a veritable to-do list to attract legions of fans with savvy marketing strategies. To find out how to transition from deadend to deadhead marketing, Marketing Thought Leaders spoke with Brian Halligan, CEO of HubSpot, a marketing software company, and co-author of "Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead" in this exclusive interview. A deadhead himself, having attended nearly 100 Grateful Dead concerts, he shares his insights about ways marketers can mimic the band and become innovative and iconic in their own industries. (For the complete interview, download the podcast.) Marketing Thought Leaders : The title of your book references the Grateful Dead as “the most iconic band in history”. Certainly what earns them that title, in part, is the iconic way they engaged and grew their loyal fan base, known as Deadheads. Given today’s focus on engaging customers via social media, how can brands and companies be iconic in this way? Brian Halligan : The Grateful Dead were very, very smart about how they built a community around their site pre-Facebook, pre-Twitter, pre-LinkedIn. They did a couple of things just spot on right. First, they had a unique product. It’s a very obvious concept but so many companies have me-too products that sound like everybody else.

  • Introduction in Their Thirty Years Together, the Grateful Dead Forever
    Introduction In their thirty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed, and shared. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir took the name Grateful Dead in 1965, after incarnations as Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and The Warlocks. Despite significant changes in the band’s lineup, including the addition of Mickey Hart and the death of Ron McKernan, the band played together until Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. From the beginning, the Grateful Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. Working musicians rather than rock stars, the Dead developed a distinctive sound while performing as latter-day American troubadours, bringing audio precision to their live performances and the spontaneity of live performances to their studio work. Side-stepping the established rules of the recording industry, the Dead took control of the production and distribution of their music. With a similar business savvy, they introduced strategic marketing innovations that strengthened the bond with their fans. This exhibition, the first extensive presentation of materials from the Grateful Dead Archive housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, testifies to the enduring impact of the Grateful Dead and provides a glimpse into the social upheavals and awakenings of the late twentieth century—a transformative period that profoundly shaped our present cultural landscape. Amalie R. Rothschild, Fillmore East Marquee, December 1969. Courtesy Amalie R. Rothschild Beginnings The Grateful Dead began their musical journey in the San Francisco Bay Area at a pivotal time in American history, when the sensibilities of the Beat generation coincided with the spirit of the burgeoning hippie movement.
