wore this to Dead & Co at Wrigley. Iā€™ve never had so many people comment on a shirt before.

I mean people were making it sound like BB is somehow objectively a better singer than any of those other guys.

I was excluding Jerry and Bobby because they said jam scene and I figured those two would be excluded due to their success.

I also still think saying Bayliss is objectively better than any of those other folks is a stretch.

Thatā€™s because there is no such thing as objectivity from within the confines of our human perceptual experience.

I love Baylissā€™s voice when he actually hits the notes. UM is a nostalgia band for me now and I get warm and fuzzies when I listen to songs like august, divisions, etc.

The Grateful Dead is iconic is because every time a keyboardist dropped out and they needed to make a payment by the next Monday they made it happen.

This has nothing to do with this argument anymore, but some of you have really never heard the Grateful Dead on the radio?

Like I am from rural ass Illinois and we had it on our radios. Arent some of you from big cities like DC/Boston?

Rarely if ever heard them on classic rock radio in Chicago, Cincy, or Cleveland. Maybe XRT in Chicago

that is surprising to me as well. maybe XRT is heady (they sponsor jam shows like SCI and UM played at their studios back in the day) but thereā€™s 5/6 songs I hear on the radio. Multiple times I walk out into the shop and hear the Dead and start grooving a bit as Iā€™m walking.

When I worked in the shop Iā€™d hear it all the time.

I turned on a classic rock radio station in the past 10 years and heard Pearl Jam. So smashed my radio with a hammer and it doesnā€™t work anymore.

That is wild to me. Did you listen to a lot of classic rock radio in general?
