Country & Western



Years ago some fool said "I thought the Grateful Dead would be cool, but they were just Country and Western."

Yes, fool.

If I owned a Cadillac, I'd put a Deadhead sticker on it just because.

Actually a lot of the 'rock' being recorded around the year 2000? was really C&W. Since then it's devolved into just talentless garbage recorded by people who can neither sing or play instruments.

Jerry Garcia was rather fond of country and regularly performed bluegrass notably with a band he formed, Old And In The Way. That band had superior musicians including fiddler Vassar Clements, mandolinist David Grisman, and guitarist-vocalist Peter Rowan. Garcia himself played banjo. Great stuff.

The Grateful Dead were so much more. But let's say for argument's sake there were just "western and country."

What in God's name is wrong with that?

May the fool who said that be cursed with a lifetime supply of Bob Weir's shorts.

Dear God, Infidel, that's a TERRIFYING curse.

Nice one, WWW. BJS is value.
