David Perlis argues that a small, isolated county on the other side of the Golden Gate from San Francisco quietly helped invent modern America. Zen thinkers, the Grateful Dead, Star Wars, the loosening of the American mind, he says in his new book "Morning in Marin," ran through its foggy hills before reaching the rest of us. Then the outsiders became insiders.
Ed Rosenthal wrote the grow book that changed everything. Then the feds arrested him. This is the full story.Ed Rosenthal has been in this longer than the modern cannabis industry has existed. He wrote his first grow book in 1973, co-founded High Times, and watched the New York Times review the guide that taught a generation how to grow. Then, in 2002, the federal government arrested him for doing exactly what the city of Oakland had officially asked him to do: grow cannabis for medical patients. The trial that followed became one of the most extraordinary legal moments in cannabis history, and Ed has never stopped since.In this episode, Ed walks through the full arc: growing up in the Bronx with no clear direction, discovering cannabis at 21 and knowing immediately it was going to be a lifelong relationship, building the first grow tents, co-founding High Times, and writing the books that shaped how American growers think about cultivation. He goes deep on his 2002 federal trial, including why the jury was never allowed to hear that Oakland had deputized him, and what happened when nine of those jurors came back three days after the verdict to hold a press conference saying they were duped, slimed, and felt dirty. He then shifts to where the plant is going: breeding cultivars specifically designed for the coming consumption lounge era, preserving landrace genetics in the Arunachal Pradesh region of India, and the science of transferring THC-producing genes directly to yeast for industrial concentrate production.Good PizzZa episode 200 exists to document the real history of cannabis culture. There is no more fitting guest for that than the man who has been in it longer than almost anyone alive.Chapters below.Follow Good PizzZa:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GoodPizzzaInstagram: @_goodpizzza_ | @goodpizzzapodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2HHXF0ijATYi8eHIq0rDToApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-pizzza-podcast/id1622059263#EdRosenthal #GoodPizzZa #CannabisHistoryCHAPTERS00:00 Ed Rosenthal on Good PizzZa Episode 20006:09 Ed Rosenthal's Origin Story: From the Bronx to Cannabis11:04 Writing the First Cannabis Grow Book in 197314:44 Co-Founding High Times and the Yippie Movement19:17 Oakland Deputized Him.

Dave Glass's Polish parents met at a displaced persons camp in Europe after World War II. In this Season 9 inaugural episode, meet and get to know Dave. A born-and-raised San Francisco, Dave joined me back in August in the SF Public Press office/studio at Warfield Commons to record the first-ever Storied: San Francisco live episode. Our talk that night comprises this episode. Dave's mom and dad got married at that camp in Germany and had their first kid, Dave's sister, there. The young couple wanted to come to the US, but had to wait another five years in Europe for that to materialize. Finally, they made it, via the port of New Orleans. Their American sponsor lived in Stockton, which they made their way to by trains and buses. Dave's dad later told him that when they arrived in California, Stockton looked to him like all cowboys and Mexicans. The family's sponsor owned a ranch, and the arrangement was that Dave's mom and dad would work there. One day, his dad's boss sent him to San Francisco, an hour or so away, for supplies. One taste of The City, and his dad knew he had to move his family here. It was early 1951 and Dave's mom was already pregnant with him. The family made the move to the big city regardless. They settled in the Western Addition on the corner of Webster and Fulton. This was before redevelopment, mind you. In addition to its sizable Black population, there were also a significant number of European refugees in the neighborhood, too. Dave fondly remembers being a little boy and going to the Ukrainian bakery at the corner of Webster and McAllister. Other memories from Dave's early days include vague visions of the Acme beer brewery across from his house. Dave lets us know that today, there are remnants of that building still standing. Around the time Dave started school, his family moved to the Sunset District. This is when his memories really get going. He went to Parkside Elementary, which is today known as Dianne Feinstein. Dave rewinds a little to share the story of when Eisenhower visited SF as president. Dave's mom got him, his sister, and herself dressed up. They walked down to Van Ness, where the presidential motorcade was set to pass by. He recalls the president sitting, not in the car's seat, but above it, in open air, riding down the avenue waving at folks. So much about this would never happen today. When he was 10, Dave got his first camera. At our live event, he shared a photo he took with that camera at his sister's birthday party, seen in a gallery on this page. It's one of the oldest photos he has that he took himself. At that time, Dave was just a "kid with a camera," not serious about the art whatsoever. But his dad had a Leica camera and did take photography more seriously, at least when it came to family photos. He had bartered for the camera when he lived in the displaced persons camp in Europe, and had photos from that time. Dave still has some of those pictures. We go on a bit of a sidebar here, thanks to my question about how folks got their camera film developed back in the day. We also chat about the nature of film vs. digital. When he was in high school, Dave joined the photo club and developed in a darkroom for his first time. He says it was around this time that he started to have an affection for photography. We have to mention that he went to Lowell, which came after time at Herbert Hoover Junior High School. Dave points out that, even back then, "smart" kids went to Lowell, including his sister. Dave says he more or less got in on legacy, not good grades. He brought that with him through high school, and chose to go to City College when he wasn't able to get into four-year schools. In 1969, City College's photography program was a serious one. Dave considers it blue-collar, in fact, aimed at turning students into professional photographers. Dave ended up taking photos for the school paper, something he loved doing. I ask Dave about the late-Sixties in SF, and he obliges. He was 16 when the Summer of Love happened, and living just a few neighborhoods away from the Haight/Ashbury, his eyes were opened. He and his friends would visit the Haight every couple of days. He says it got so crowded with tourist buses and people that The City made Haight a one-way street. Still, they saw bands like Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Country Joe and the Fish at small venues or outdoors in the park. We go on a sidebar here to talk about The Fillmore back in the day. Dave's first job, which he had while still in high school, was selling shoes at Kinny Shoes (IYKYK) at Serramonte, which had just opened. Dave shares a family photo and talks a little about it, also available here in the gallery. Eventually, relatives moved to San Francisco and lived nearby Dave's family, so he grew up with cousins and aunts and uncles. Dave confirms that it was the case that he and his friends, like many folks I talk with who grew up back then, pretty much did whatever they wanted after school, with the understanding that you go home when it gets dark out. His stories include building skateboards out of wooden 2×4s and roller skates. Then we talk about a significant turn in Dave's life. It was the late-Sixties and the war in Vietnam was heating up. The draft was in effect, and the number of units Dave was taking at City College had fallen below the threshold for deferment. That year, 1969, had seen more US casualties than any year prior. His parents, having escaped war-torn Europe earlier in their lives, did not want their son serving in the military in any capacity. Some of his dad's relatives had settled in Paris after WWII. They helped arrange for Dave to live there for about six months starting in the fall of 1970. Check back tomorrow for Part 2 and the rest of Dave Glass's life story.

This round of BONUS TRAX starts with a bang as a couple of hot takes from the end of Surface Noise threaten to unravel the panel at the seams. Then we build the Band/Artist Merch Mount Rushmore. From endless reissues, remasters and deluxe box sets to T-shirts, toys, collectibles, coffee, liquor, sneakers, action figures, cruises—and just about anything else you can slap a logo on—which artists have turned their music, image and intellectual property into full-blown merchandising machines? But this isn't just about who sells the most T-shirts. Which artists have been the smartest at extending their brand beyond the music? Who has created an instantly recognizable visual identity that can sell almost anything? Who keeps finding new ways to repackage the same catalog for another generation of fans—and convince longtime collectors to buy it all over again? We'll nominate, debate and ultimately rank the artists and bands that represent the gold standard of maximizing their brand and extracting every possible dollar from their fanbase. KISS? The Rolling Stones? The Beatles? Grateful Dead? Taylor Swift? Metallica? Elvis? Who deserves one of only four spots on the Merch Mount Rushmore—and who gets left off the mountain? A spirited debate. A passionate fandom. Who wins...or loses?

What comes to mind if I say San Francisco–the hippies and Grateful Dead of the 1960’s, the locus of the AIDS epidemic of the 1980’s, the Internet revolution of the 1990’s, the urban decay of the pandemic era or the AI revolution that is clearly upon us? Well, I think the best answer is all of the above. The city is a complicated mix of culture, technology, business and a growing class divide. There may be no better chronicler of the city than Jonathan Weber who has been covering this beat for different media outlets since the early 1990’s. All of his knowledge and sense of place are married in his great new book, “City on the Edge: Technology, Politics, and the Fight for the Soul of San Francisco.” He dispels the notion that many of us have had that San Francisco and Silicon Valley are interchangeable. They are very different places. Both have been crucial to modern-day America. When you think San Francisco remember that e-publishing, social media, video streaming, cloud software and the sharing economy really came to life there. Enjoy this fascinating conversation.

The Crazy Tale of Quicksilver Messenger Service is an audio documentary series that was crafted to act as the ultimate assemblage of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. This 8-episode series is built around a 2 1/2 hour interview with The Patti Smith Group's Lenny Kaye, and the main event: an unprecedentedly detailed five-hour interview with last man standing David Freiberg, a very special experience that—regardless of how you feel about the group—will absolutely blow your mind with its unique twists and turns. There's in-depth commentary on their history, a slew of endlessly wild stories, and star ratings for every release. Prepare yourselves: Lenny Kaye's the wind up, and David Freiberg is very much the pitch. This is Part 4 of the series—and part 1 of my discussion with David—in which we cover the completely insane early days of Quicksilver Messenger Service, packed with stories that seem more like mythical tall tales than true events. Here are just a few of the many things that David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: His early jobs actually working for the railroad; A rundown of his three distinct pot bust arrests; How he met Dino Valenti, which led directly to his involvement with Quicksilver; Trying to get the band off the ground while both Dino and David were behind bars; The period when the band lived together on a soon-to-be-condemned series of quasi-houseboats; The period when the band lived in what they described as a “Victorian insane asylum”; The cowboy period when the band lived out on a horse-filled ranch while The Grateful Dead lived nearby and got into an Indian trip; And the derivation of their crazy name.

Aaron Raitiere has been compared to legends from John Prine to Shel Silverstein for his eccentric, anything-goes approach to songwriting. But the Kentucky native also knows his way around writing a hit: Ella Langley, Miranda Lambert, and Lady Gaga have all covered his songs. In this rambunctious, irreverent conversation in the Nashville Now cabin, Raitiere lets us into his songwriting process and also shares some behind-the-scenes tales of his friendship with the late Bob Weir and the lost project they were working on before the Grateful Dead icon's death.

Doug Schmell is back for a deep dive into an essential 1972 Grateful Dead performance.,,Set two is sublime, a set for the ages.
Send us Fan MailIn this episode we explore the life and music of Texas Songster and Bluesman Mance Lipscomb. Though he was relatively unheard of, outside of Washington County for most of his life, Mance found fame in his 60s when he was "discovered" by Arhoolie Record owner Chris Strawkowitz and his friend Mack McCormick in 1960. After a harsh life as a Texas Sharecropper, Mance found himself in the middle of the folk music revival of the early 60s and on the stage with Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, Muddy Waters, Janis Joplin, and even Willie Nelson. His story is as powerful as his music and his legacy is that of a master musician finally getting the recognition he deserves.
As lead guitar for Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, Jorma Kaukonen performed at Woodstock, Altamont, the Monterey Pop Festival and on some of the most legendary concert bills of the psychedelic rock era, sharing the stage with everyone from the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin to B.B. King and Muddy Waters. Along the way, he not only lived cannabis history, he inhaled it. As you're about to hear… For the past three decades, Jorma has been happily living a sober life, but when a lifetime of non-stop guitar playing finally caught up with him in the form of joint and muscle pain, he recently rediscovered the medicinal power of cannabis. And so he's now the proud proprietor of Jorma's Choice full-spectrum CBD oil muscle balm, touted as providing all natural relief for fingerpicking' hands and sore muscles.

“On my headstone, it would say: I was always right. I never lied, and no one paid any attention to me.” — Paulina Borsook A quarter of a century ago, the tech journalist Paulina Borsook published Cyberselfish, one of the earliest critiques of Silicon Valley's libertarian culture. While the heretical book got widely reviewed, it not only didn't sell but cursed her writing career, Borsook claiming she couldn't get published again on any subject. Used copies of Cyberselfish could be had for a few dollars and she became just another forgotten tech dissenter. Then, last year, Borsook was magically resurrected. The New York Times (re)discovered her as “the writer who dared criticize Silicon Valley” and the price of secondhand copies of Cyberselfish jumped to over a thousand dollars. The world caught up with her tech scepticism. Like an AI startup, Borsook is now hot. So hot, in fact, that the original Cyberselfish is now being republished not only in the US and UK, but also in France. So hot, that we now have a new word: “Borsookian,” to describe Silicon Valley libertarianism. The funny thing is that nothing much has changed over the last quarter century since Borsook's original book came out. Not tech's libertarian hostility to government. Not the Silicon Valley boys-only club. And certainly not Paulina Borsook, who retains what the Grateful Dead lyricist and digital utopian John Perry Barlow half-lovingly called her “dyspeptic” manner. “On my headstone, it would say: I was always right,” Paulina Borsook confides with dyspeptic glee. “I never lied, and no one paid any attention to me.” How delicious to be so fully resurrected. What fun for the heretic to help transform the original orthodoxy into the new heresy. Five Takeaways • Back from the Dead. The resurrection required no publicist: used copies of Cyberselfish drifted from $4 toward $1,000; graduate students begged her for copies she couldn't supply; a stranger she's never met posted on LinkedIn that she'd gotten everything right and been forgotten — and it went viral. That led to Gil Duran, whose furious Bluesky post (after a Wired mea-culpa writer interviewed him about her for forty-five minutes and cited neither of them) alerted The New York Times, whose November feature — “The Writer Who Dared Criticize Silicon Valley” — brought her agent's immortal email: “we always knew you were right.” Tin House is reissuing the book on September 15 with a Duran foreword and her new afterword, changing not a word. Younger readers, she's told, like that it doesn't read like a TED Talk. Her headstone joke covers the whole arc: always right, never lied, no one paid attention.• Why Are They So Mad? The book's core observation remains undefeated: “no sector of society has benefited more and suffered less from the government than people in Silicon Valley. So why are they acting like this, and why are they so mad?” “Libertarian” was simply her shorthand for a subculture violently anti-government, totally anti-regulation, and drunk on Ayn Rand — or, in the book's reframe, the mind-set of adolescents craving total rampaging autonomy while someone else does the laundry. She wrote it from inside: a Wired freelancer under Louis Rossetto (who handed new writers The New Journalism), perpetually paired point-counterpoint against John Perry Barlow, whose Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace made her snort and whose “dyspeptic” label she wears as a compliment. Kevin Kelly, she insists, is not Sam Altman — they almost never agreed, but she doesn't demonize — “except that they have a belief in everything that tech wants to do is fine.” The book, she says now, is a Guide for the Perplexed: the metaphors and framing to decode everything the current crop is spewing.• That Damn Book. She calls it TDB — That Damn Book — because it wrecked her. A strong media arc and worldwide reviews, then no sales and a career that “came to a crashing halt”: for twenty-five years she could not get published again, on tech or anything else; a finalist for four fellowships, winner of none; no one — blacklist theorists, gender theorists — could ever explain it. “I have PTSD from twenty-five years of never being able to be published again.” The lost years: seven of nasty elder care, an eviction that put everything she owned in storage, six years as an Airbnb superhost in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and the art project My Life as a Ghost — about the traumatic brain injury she's carried since a friend accidentally shot her with a Colt 45 at fourteen. She resists the redemptive reading that the TBI explains her outsider eye (“I'm a package deal”), and values tech precisely as the utility — word processing, BBSs for the housebound — that made a writing life possible. Using is not worshiping.• AI Is the Inevitable Result of Cyberselfishness. “Was anybody asking for this? Not really.” AI, on her reading, is the financial play the culture was always building toward — there's little real innovation left, “except for surveillance capitalism” and, in her Shakespearean phrase, the current crop “borrowing the robes of the tech culture of another era.” Her oldest fascination has become the newest: since ELIZA in the sixties, people have preferred confessing to machines over talking to humans — AI boyfriends included — and “it gets so much stuff wrong that people wanna rely on this” bewilders her still. Andrew's question about Anthropic's calls for regulation drew the hour's driest line: “isn't that just sort of the lipstick on a pig issue? I'll believe it when I see it” — nobody, she notes, will do anything that touches the stock price. Her counter-example is the late Peter Neumann, the computer scientist who gave $4 million to the San Francisco Symphony's chorus: “we will not see his like again.”• The Blue of Tahoe. Asked what freedom means, she calls the word too abused to define — a card-carrying ACLU member since high school who believes just as firmly in regulation, and whose answer to Sergey Brin's California-as-Soviet-Union hissy fit is the episode's keeper: “what do you think keeps the water of Tahoe so very blue except for government regulation and environmental scientists? Who do you think regulates the use of the term organic?” The regulation-freedom dynamic, she argues, is healthy — it's the worship that isn't. Her San Francisco test: The Crucible, the beloved East Bay institution that taught Burning Man its metalwork, gets nothing from the boom, while art nonprofits die weekly and the winners insist they owe nothing because they pay taxes — “which they try very much not to do.” Burning Man itself she reads via Brave New World: the violent passion surrogate, a scheduled space for disorder before returning to lives spent “creating nonsense and ruining a lot of things that we hold dear.” A California writer to the end — and, per Glengarry Glen Ross, always be closing.

Errl Hill built one of California's last craft BHO live resin operations out of Humboldt. Here's what it actually took.Scott and Harry of Errl Hill came up through the legacy market before most people had heard the word legalization. Scott started in Humboldt in 2006, running grow teardowns every 90 days to beat landlord walkthroughs. Harry left Atlanta at 16 and found his footing on Grateful Dead tour before spending two decades in the California underground. The brand they built together is one of the few craft BHO live resin operations left in the state that is doing it right, and this conversation is the unfiltered version of how that happened.They break down why BHO live resin still produces a more flavorful extract than live rosin for certain strains, how CRC color remediation chromatography strips terpenes and passes off adulterated product as quality hash, and why fake terpenes added back into low-grade extract have quietly damaged the entire live resin category. They also explain how the Blueberry Muffin strain from Humboldt Seed Company became the product Errl Hill is known for, and why some cultivars simply do not wash well but shine under BHO.The conversation goes deep into what the 2021 California cannabis market crash cost the Humboldt community, how Prop 64 shuttered more farms than any law enforcement raid ever did, and what it means for a legacy operator to build a branded product instead of wholesaling into a broken market. This is the part of the California cannabis story that almost never gets told from the inside.Chapters below.CHAPTERS00:00 Good PizzZa Podcast Errl Hill Introduction04:50 Scott's Origin Story: Sacramento, SoCal Dealing, Glass Blowing09:20 Scott's Dad Gets Busted Under Prop 215 in 199611:29 Moving to Humboldt: The Rental House Grow Teardown Game13:54 First Outdoor Busts, Trinity Partnership, Fresh Frozen Begins17:40 Compliance Letters, Four Years to Go Legal, Building Errl Hill26:15 Harry's Story: Atlanta, Military School, Grateful Dead Tour at 1633:10 Oakland Indoor Grows, Everything Falls Apart, Finding Errl Hill42:20 Blueberry Muffin: Meeting Nat from Humboldt Seed Company1:08:30 BHO vs Rosin: CRC Explained and Fake Terpene Fraud1:25:00 Howard Buffett's Private Helicopters Over Humboldt1:30:50 Top Strains, Dream Cypher, Advice, and Where to Find Errl HillConnect with Errl Hill:Website: errlhill.comInstagram: @errlhillhumboldtFollow Good PizzZa:YouTube: goodpizzza.comInstagram: @_goodpizzza_ | @goodpizzzapodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2HHXF0ijATYi8eHIq0rDToApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-pizzza-podcast/id1622059263#goodpizzza #errlhill #humboldtY'all know what time it is…Roll ‘em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants—do what you gotta do because we're about to take this journey with Scott and Harry (Errl Hill)!JP⸻ Big up my sponsors!@grovebags@buckmountaincannabis@cadre.verde@bambinas.sac@OCB@flowermillusa@dr.dabber Get a DISCOUNT at:http://www.grovebags.comPROMO CODE: GOODPIZZZA Grab a Flower Mill with the Good PizzZa discount:https://www.flowermillusa.com/discount/GOODPIZZZA?ref=GOODPIZZZAPromo Code: GOODPIZZZA Dr Dabber Discounthttp://www.drdabber.comPROMO CODE: GOODPIZZZA15 GRAB SOME SWAGhttp://www.goodpizzza.comSupport the showShop Merch: goodpizzza.comInstagram: @_goodpizzza_Instagram: @goodpizzzapodcastShow some love: patreon.com/goodpizzza

What do the Grateful Dead, punk rock, philosophy, sobriety and a great neighborhood tavern have in common? For Sean Kelly, quite a lot.The Philadelphia-born musician, restaurateur and new steward of Ojai's historic Deer Lodge, who has also relaunched with Angie Edelsen the legendary Ranch House, joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about the music that shaped him, the philosophers who challenged him, the strange alchemy of live performance, and what decades in the restaurant business have taught him about people. We also explore community, reinvention, what Ojai needs more — and less — of, and the question running beneath it all: What makes for a life well lived?We did not talk about Yo La Tengo, annatto paste or Bowie knives.You can catch up to Sean and his plans for the Deer Lodge and Ranch House at DeerLodgeOjai.com.
YUH 270 - WOR - Our friend Jeff Demaree was last on YUH 203 episodes ago! So it was long overdue to have him back to promote his memoir, "Escape from the Killing Floor Stumbling toward the Dhamma". While much of the story was discussed back in the day, we get real with Jef about such heady subjects as public education and the Grateful Dead. The discussion got off the rails a little bit at one point (who? us?) but we recovered and topped off the lively hour with some sage advice from our guest. #dhamma #kahns #doe #education # #phis #gratefuldead #transcendentalmeditation #teacherYUH Theme by David T and Mojo 3https://www.amazon.com/Insanity-Sobri...Anti Social Network on Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1NrDN795E7qwmKL5wS6z7wPurchase Escape The Killing Floor Stumbling Towards the Dhamma on Amazon Primehttps://www.amazon.com/Escape-Kill-Floor-Stumbling-Towards-ebook/dp/B0CMP2ZCHVEric Jay Sonnenschein Officialhttps://www.ericsonnenschein.com/Yeah Uh Huh Social Stuff:Yeah Uh Huh on TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@yeahuhhuhpodYeah Uh Huh on Facebookhttps://facebook.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l716ljEQLeMMxwihoS?si=27bd15fb26ed46aaYeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611Yeah Uh Huh Website:https://yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com/yeahuhhuhpodhttps://youtu.be/ipWX5E_BKV8?si=nF1NEH3hTE6KS3MG
The Kimmer and listeners remember Dolly Parton with heartfelt stories from her career, including personal encounters, Dollywood memories, her relationship with Porter Wagoner, and her impact on country music. Plus, stories from the Grand Ole Opry, a Dolly illustration that looked like a Grateful Dead album cover, and a memorable 1981 roadside encounter.
In 1964, Oregon author Ken Kesey and a group of friends, known as the Merry Pranksters, embarked on a cross-country road trip from California to New York aboard a 1939 customized school bus. They painted the bus in psychedelic colors, added a rooftop platform and made other modifications. The bus known as Furthur became a symbol of the countercultural ethos of the ‘60s, from protesting the Vietnam War to ushering in the LSD-tinged anthems of the Grateful Dead in San Francisco. And now, for the first time since 1969, Furthur has left its home at the Kesey family farm outside Eugene to open a new generation of hearts and minds. As first reported by the New York Times earlier this month, the bus is returning to San Francisco as the centerpiece of “Forever Grateful, Golden Gate Park,” a Grateful Dead-themed exhibition in San Francisco opening on Sep. 5. The Oregon nonprofit Furthur Down the Road Foundation has been working for years to raise funds to restore the bus, which it hopes to start after the exhibit ends in late October. Ken Kesey’s son, Zane, joins us to discuss Furthur’s legacy, the plans for its restoration and what lessons he thinks this countercultural icon can offer us today.
What was supposed to be a conversation about the Grateful Dead quickly becomes something else entirely when photographer Jay Blakesberg and singer-songwriter Steve Poltz join us at High Sierra.The two give us a preview of Working Man's Dead, their wonderfully unpredictable live collaboration combining Jay's iconic Grateful Dead photography and storytelling with Steve's music — including songs he writes spontaneously in response to stories and images he hasn't seen coming.They talk about Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and the strange magic of improvisation. Jay also recounts watching an all-white-clad Steve Poltz make his way toward the rail at the Sphere as the crowd seemingly parted for him “like Moses” — leading Jay to describe Steve as “a cross between Bob Dylan and Moses.”And then things go completely off the rails.Charlton Heston. Planet of the Apes. Paper routes. Behind the Green Door. A mysterious bag of vintage magazines. And several moments when we completely lose control of our own interview.Underneath the insanity, though, is a friendship between two gifted storytellers and a shared love of the Grateful Dead, spontaneity and the kind of live experience that can never happen exactly the same way twice.This is Steve Poltz and Jay Blakesberg — unfiltered, unscripted and very much Only in the Green Room.Steve Poltz, Jay Blakesberg, Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead stories, Bob Weir, Jerry Garcia, Workingman's Dead, Grateful Dead photography, High Sierra Music Festival, Only in the Green Room

John checks in fresh off a trip to Maine, where the lobster is great and the golf is classic New England. Jeff counters with his time teaching at the ultra‑exclusive Yellowstone Club in Montana — mountain golf, thin air, and views that make you forget you just chunked a wedge. Donald Ross & The Art of Greens That Make You Cry The guys dive into Donald Ross's legendary greens — the ones that look innocent until your ball starts rolling like it's late for a meeting. They compare Ross's style with Pete Dye's “I dare you” intimidation and McKenzie's artistic, flowing layouts. Jeff previews his upcoming West Coast McKenzie tour, which John immediately tries to invite himself on. Renovations, Reconstructions & Golden Age Reboots Jeff talks Spyglass renovations and a reconstructed McKenzie course in Wisconsin. John wonders what it would be like to play a 1920s design built with modern machinery — old strategy meets new bulldozers. The Lido, Sand Valley & Modern Classics The guys geek out over the original Lido — a C.B. MacDonald/McKenzie/Raynor masterpiece — and its modern recreation at Sand Valley. They hit on courses that became famous fast: Bandon Dunes Whistling Straits Payne's Valley (aka “Tiger's scenic roller coaster”) The Tillinghast Tour Idea Jeff rattles off Tillinghast courses like he's reading from a phone book. John suggests a “Tillinghast Tour,” the golf‑nerd equivalent of following the Grateful Dead around the country. They compare it to Dye, Palmer, and Norman tours and swap favorite designer quotes — including Rocco Mediate's classic Dye jab. Design Philosophy & How Not to Get Tricked Jeff breaks down fairway bunkering, hidden landing zones, and greens that wiggle like a toddler on sugar. They talk about how caddies can save your round on visually deceptive layouts — assuming you actually listen to them. Mountain Golf & Wildlife Cameos Jeff shares stories from Pine Canyon in Flagstaff, where the scenery is gorgeous and the wildlife occasionally decides it owns the fairway. The Big Idea: East‑to‑West Golf Trip John pitches an October RV golf adventure from the East Coast to the West Coast. Jeff pretends to think about it. John invites Chris Mascaro to join a future show, because every good golf trip needs at least one guy who brings snacks. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this episode of the Moisture Festival Podcast, we finish up our conversation with Karamazov Brother Paul Magid. We dive into stories about living with Ken Kesey, opening for the Grateful Dead, crashing their bus into Jerry Garcia’s car, and how they ended up on an episode of Seinfeld. Paul talks about some of his favorite achievements and shares some of his most memorable bad shows. We also learn about how one of their most famous routines, “the gamble,” was created. A great wrap-up for one of the most famous modern vaudevillians.

At the outset of The Ripple Effect, NPR Music's series on the Grateful Dead, we asked fans to share stories about how they fell in love with the band. The response was overwhelming: wry, emotional and personal. It was overflowing with shared experiences that underline exactly how crucial the community that surrounds the Dead is to the band's legacy.Now that we've reached the end of Days Between, we're closing The Ripple Effect by listening to voice memos from you: Deadheads and people who love Deadheads, lifelong fans and late converts.

Every year from August 1st to August 9th, Deadheads mark the “Days Between" — the span between Jerry Garcia's birth and death. In this bonus episode of the Behind The Song podcast, Janda digs into how a deep-cut song title that was only played 41 times by the band became the name of what has evolved into a high holy week for an entire community of Grateful Dead fans.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Death never stopped the Grateful Dead before.Since Jerry Garcia's death in 1995, a sprawling collection of musicians and fans across generations have kept the band's legacy alive in different ways. But without members Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, Deadheads are experiencing their first summer where there's no clear inheritor of the Grateful Dead's mantle.Where does the music, and the dedicated community that has grown up around it, go from here? NPR Music's resident Deadheads Felix Contreras and Isabella Gomez Sarmiento took a cue from the Dead itself: They hit the road, interviewing musicians, fans and archivists to learn how the band and its fans built a legacy that has spanned generations, and to find out what's next.For more podcast episodes and stories about the future of the Grateful Dead, check out our series Dead After Death.This episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.

This week on the Deadpod we head back to the Family Dog at the Great Highway in San Francisco for a superb show from August 3, 1969. This is the kind of set that reminds us just how quickly the Grateful Dead were evolving in that remarkable year, moving from the raw energy of their early material into the open-ended exploration that would define so much of what followed. The set opens with a fine run of songs including "Hard To Handle," "Beat It On Down The Line," "Hi-Heel Sneakers," "High Time," and "Mama Tried." From there the show opens up beautifully with a long and searching "Dark Star," followed by the powerful sequence of "Alligator," "Drums," "The Other One," and "Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)," before closing with "And We Bid You Goodnight." There are two guest artists - an unknown sax player and David LaFlame from 'It's A Beautiful Day', and they add a rich extra dimension to the sound that I really dig. There's a lot to enjoy here: the contrast between the concise song-based first half and the expanded improvisational stretch that follows, the relaxed confidence of the band, and the sense that they are really finding their collective voice in real time. It's a strong late-summer 1969 performance and a great listen for anyone who loves this transitional era of the Dead.

In this episode the guys sit down with Nick Hexum, lead singer and co-founder of 311, just hours before a live show. Nick opens up about how the band has stayed together for 35 years, his path to sobriety in 2005-06 and how the band stuck by him through it, bringing weights on the road since 1993 and having a full gym dressing room on every tour, and why exercise was his earliest tool for managing anxiety and depression. He covers the study showing dance and exercise outperform SSRIs for depression by one and a half times, how he syncs his workouts to BPM-specific playlists, working with a vocal coach who saved his career, losing his youngest brother to an overdose and finally writing a song about it, Shaq showing up to their music video during the NBA playoffs with two left shoes and a siren on his SUV, meeting Joe Strummer of The Clash and finding a 311 sticker on his boom box, the Rick Rubin creativity principle of audience coming last, and his new Americana solo project with mandolin and fiddle. He also shares his thoughts on AI in the music industry, how the Grateful Dead touring model saved them from the Napster collapse, and why he surfed ten-foot Santa Cruz waves the day before this interview.
