Tonight's R4 Archive Hour is entitled: The Grateful Dead are More Important than the Beatles. Some folk will know I have no time for Beatles, so I can afford a little smile. A friend on another forum points out that at an hour’s duration the programme is actually shorter than some of their songs…😁 |

Tonight's Archive Hour on radio 4 is entitled: The Grateful Dead are More Important than the Beatles. Well, there we are then . 🙂 No. Just no. Jules The argument is simply that the Dead were the house band of the 70s/80s computer bods (Apple, MS etc etc). Which they sort of were - loads of connections with the foundation of the web etc etc etc. It's not really a musical argument. |

Jules It's just struck me that the statement echoes Mr Lennon's remark that the Beatles were 'More popular than Jesus/' - I hope it doesn't prove as disastrous. |

Tonight's R4 Archive Hour is entitled: The Grateful Dead are More Important than the Beatles. Some folk will know I have no time for Beatles, so I can afford a little smile. Stupid attention gathering headline but it's actually quite an interesting programme I think (or looks like it will be given a news article I was reading about it yesterday). https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0032qmb Here's the article (unpaywalled) https://archive.is/CB3sZ Hopefully, one day, somebody will answer as to why so many (particularly American) Deadheads are right wing. I suspect it's that RW/Utilitarian crossover point, but what do I know... I literally don't know what to do with the "I have no time for the Beatles" bit. It's utterly meaningless to me. I bet a large percentage of the people whose music you have time for had an awful lot of time for the Beatles themselves? Thanks for the article- will definitely read later. I don't understand America, and its politics are equally baffling to me. I have noted reactionary tendencies in elderly hippies in our own country and I can't work it out either. Something to do with extreme individualism in outlook. There are libertarian s of the left and I think I might be one, and there are libertarians of the right. I'll leave it there. The Beatles thing has become my joke on here, and I think I should stop. I know what you mean about the influence- Ian Hunter- now there's a rocker I admire - said people who don't understand Dylan don't understand rock.n roll. He is entitled to say what he likes of course, I shall continue to enjoy my Mott the Hoople records. Dylan i shall not understand/continue to ignore till I feel.like hearing him if ever. |

Just hope he hasn’t come back before he is properly better… and that if it was a virus that it hasn’t been spread to any of the other boys… or audience.
Virus illnesses can be very nasty 😥 |
