A couple of days ago when the alarm clock went off, the song playing was "Friend of the Devil". Wow.. blast from the past. Even more surprising is that my alarm clock is set to the local college radio station (it's one of the few stations I can listen to without throwing up. 99% of new major label music blows chunks). This means that somewhere out there there is at least 1 college student who
A. Has heard of the Grateful Dead (keep in mind today's college students were born in the early to mid 80's and probably don't even remember the horrifiic Tough of Grey nightmare - something that caused ridiculous fashion trends during my school years. Co-ed Naked Lacross with dancing bears? What does that mean?)
B. Likes the Dead enough to play them on her radio show.
Could it be that just like the clothes I wore in middle school, the Dead will come back into style? I was recently in Haight Ashbury and I saw few signs of this, but why not? Every 20 years or so, they return. All I know is the song has been running through my head for 2 days now. Got 2 reasons why I cry away the lonely night....
