A rock band from the time when rock was real and pure.
Hippies who encouraged drug use that, although they did not encourage hippie movement, obviously moved it down the right path.
Their name originates with a mid-southern European belief in the grateful dead-- Men whose spirits were ill-at-ease until someone buried them properly. The spirits often rewarded their helper with wishes, money, and worldly goods.
Rock on, Jerry!

Get the Grateful Dead mug.And so what if it isn't a real definition? You can't define them.
If my agnostic\athiestic ass worshipped something, it would most definitely be the Grateful Dead. For all you hippie-haters, I say, DAMN YOU. So what if they were stoners and whatnot? They produced some damn good music, and you'd probably agree if you'd actually listen to it.

Get the Grateful Dead mug.A band that actually worked for a living. They usually toured at least seven months out of a given year. They only released records to make enough money to cover their excessent touring. They are from a bygone era when music was fun and represented freedom, and even though became multi-millionaires, they were never into it for the money or they would have released more polished, accessible albums.

Grateful Dead was "a band out on the highway"..
"they high stepped into town"..
"it was a rainbow full of sound"..
"they're a band beyond discription"......
it was "just a box of rain"..
they were "drivin that train, high on cocaine"..
then jerry garcia decided to "leave this brokedown palace"..
and the rest of the group said "fare you well"
