There is something absolutely magical and enchanting about Dead-related shows. I went to dead & Company at Citi Field last week and seeing a parking filled with tents, converted buses, hybrid structures, and all sorts of creative mayhem was so refreshing and rejuvenating - it has the same electricity as a carnival. You meet folks from all walks of life, some are selling t-shirts or glass or prints they made, others just having a little stand set up to play singing bowls...I lived the road lifestyle and know its certainly no rose garden, with a not-insignificant amount of people falling into the ditch of drugs and debasement, but it's certainly presents a compelling and inspiring alternative to the world many inhabit.
