My smile broadened as I reflected on the last 4+ years of renewal, particularly all that happened in 2005, and what these experiences signify for the future. Furthering a Tradition of Grassroots Giving Since December 2001, when we launched the renewal of the Rex Foundation BOARD OF DIRECTORS with The Healing Power of Music at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco, we Bob Weir have raised $1.1 million and granted $676,000 to 109 grassroots programs across Cameron Sears Sage Scully the U.S. and internationally.

    Preview: Gathering of the Vibes 2008 Chad Berndtson July 29, 2008 Having recently finished an enterprise feature for another publication on the glut of national music festivals and what role that glut creates for regional festivals with a lot more personality, I’m more excited this year for the Gathering of the Vibes than I have been in quite some time. As the man said, “He’d have to be one charming motherfuckin pig”…er, sorry, “Personality goes a long way.” Compared to the Roo- and Coachella-sized behemoths, and a lot of the sexy new kids with names both playful and official-sounding—Rothbury might be a bit of both, and allegedly, it was quite the time—the Vibes is a creakier, more elegant dinosaur. A glorious, humble triceratops of a festival, yes, secure in its size, pleasant in its modest ambition and its abilities, not ostentatious, and kindly manageable. And damn isn’t it great to have it back in New England proper (it returned in 2007 after several years of renovation to Bridgeport’s Seaside Park and a few years at various upstate New York locales)? For this born/bred New Englander, it’s not only in a New England/Tri-State area happy medium, but it fills a still-felt void left by the big Phish festivals of yore and especially the can’t-believe-it’s-been-five-years-now departed Berkshire Mountain Music Festival (1997-2003). (For Berkfest alums from those heady days, monsoon conditions and all, have a scoop of nostalgia on the house) The Vibes doesn’t have the gaudy cache of some festivals, or some of the nationally dazzling headliners.

Stepping out and passing through the pillared porticoes was a Who's Who of Swiss society-the head of state, national sports icons, former ministers and army generals-all of whom had come to celebrate the sixty-fifth birthday of Werner Spross, the owner of a huge horticultural business empire. As one of Zurich's wealthiest and best-connected men, it was perhaps fitting that 650 of his "close friends" had been invited to attend the event, a lavish banquet followed by a performance of Romeo and Juliet. Defiantly greeting the guests were 200 demonstrators standing in the square in front of the opera house. Mostly young, wearing scruffy clothes and sporting punky haircuts, they whistled and booed, angry that the opera house had been sold out, allowing itself for the first time to be taken over by a rich patron. They were also chanting slogans about the inequity of Swiss society and the wealth of Spross's guests. The glittering horde did its very best to ignore the disturbance. The protest had the added significance of being held on the tenth anniversary of the first spark of the city's most explosive youth revolt of recent years, The Movement.

  • To Read John Perry's Full Introduction
    John Perry Barlow, former Wyoming rancher, lyricist for the Grateful Dead, cofounder and vice-chair of the Electronic Frontier Foundation Following is John Perry Barlow's most excellent overview of the experience of the Sixties in his introduction t o Birth of a Psychedelic Culture: Conversations about Leary, the Harvard Experiments, Millbrook and the Sixties by Ram Dass and Ralph Metzner, with Gary Bravo Published by Synergetic Press http://www.synergeticpress.com/shop/birth-of-a- psychedelic-culture/ eBook now available. Foreword In the Beginning … by John Perry Barlow LSD is a drug that produces fear in people who don’t take it. Timothy Leary It’s now almost half a century since that day in September 1961 when a mysterious fellow named Michael Hollingshead made an appointment to meet Professor Timothy Leary over lunch at the Harvard Faculty Club. When they met in the foyer, Hollingshead was carrying with him a quart jar of sugar paste into which he had infused a gram of Sandoz LSD. He had smeared this goo all over his own increasingly abstract conscious- ness and it still contained, by his own reckoning, 4,975 strong (200 mcg) doses of LSD. And the mouth of that jar became perhaps the most sig- nificant of the fumaroles from which the ‘60s blew forth. Everybody who continues to obsess on the hilariously terrifying cultural epoch known as the ‘60s – which is to say, most everybody from “my ge- ge-generation,” the post-War demographic bulge that achieved perma- nent adolescence during that era – has his or her own sense of when the ‘60s really began.

  • 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.

  • DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC (Biography)
    DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC (biography) ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME MEMBER CHRIS HILLMAN AND THE DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC TO PERFORM IN A RARE APPEARANCE Joining Chris Hillman in this acoustic appearance are John Jorgenson on guitar/mandolin, Herb Pedersen on guitar and Bill Bryson on bass. Chris Hillman was one of the original members of The Byrds, which also included Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke. The Byrds were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. After his departure from the Byrds, Hillman, along with collaborator Gram Parsons, was a key figure in the development of country-rock. Hillman virtually defined the genre through his seminal work with the Byrds and later bands, The Flying Burrito Brothers and Manassas with Steven Stills. In addition to his work as a musician, Hillman is also a successful songwriter and his songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as; Emmylou Harris, Patti Smith, The Oak Ridge Boys, Beck, Steve Earl, Peter Yorn,Tom Petty, and Dwight Yoakam. In the 1980s Chris formed The Desert Rose Band which became one of country music’s most successful acts throughout the 1980s and 1990s, earning numerous ‘Top 10’ and ‘Number 1’ hits. The band’s success lead to three Country Music Association Awards, and two Grammy nominations. Although the Desert Rose Band disbanded in the early 1990s, they performed a reunion concert in 2008 and have since played a few shows together in select venues. Herb Pedersen began his career in Berkeley, California in the early 1960′s playing 5 string banjo and acoustic guitar with artists such as Jerry Garcia, The Dillards, Old and in the Way, David Grisman and David Nelson.
