Hello David,
David, thank you for all you do to share the music, the vibe, the culture of the Grateful Dead. I am old enough to have been on the "Bus" at an early age, but came later: much due to hearing the Grateful Dead Hour. I just reread Carolyn Brightman's insightful book "Sweet Chaos;" and though I sometimes perceive jacket blurbs as overblown, am in accord with your laudatory words. This is a serious book, which places the band in context; and does so in a scholarly and entertaining fashion.
What I am wondering is if you interviewed Ms. Brightman for a Grateful Dead Hour show. If so, would love to hear that show.
Again, David, thank you for all you do.

#539 and #540

These shows feature an interview w/ a Carol Brightman......same person I'd bet.

Golden West, Thank you.

Golden West,
Thank you. I am sure it is the same person. Have "you" read her book? If so: What did you think?
David

you're welcome

I have not. I haven't been sure what to make of it. I think the whole 'scholarly' thing has made me keep it at arm's length. I'm always afraid those folks will miss the point.
But to be fair I haven't given it a chance.
The 'context' you mentioned: What context are you referring to? (.... the one the book does such a good job of placing the band in).

Carol Brightman was very active in radical politics in the '60s. The book tells her story and looks at the Grateful Dead from the perspective of a contemporary who was on a very different cultural path. Carol had access to the GD world through her sister, Candace, who was the Dead's lighting director.

I'll add GD Hours 539 and 540 to the queue. In the meantime, you can read a transcript of the interview here.

David Gans' time is a gift,

I wish that there were more hours in the day for you David - you seem to be so very dedicated to so many fantastic things that the only way you could be more of a blessing to us is if there were 50 hours a day. I don't know how you do it all. But I certainly appreciate what you do!
Best of everything to you!
