The fabulous Bob Weir and how the Grateful Dead invented the internet

A tie-dyed-in-the-wool rock & roll space odyssey to infinity and beyond which stops off this week at …

… why the Dead’s music was “like lighting a match in the wind”

… Ha Ha Harlem! Rebels Without Applause! – Morrissey song or Lenny Bruce comic routine?

… Sting v Sumner & Copeland and what Every Breath You Take makes daily just from streaming

… is Oasis “the biggest exchange of money for old rope in the history of commerce?”

… rock stars in shorts

… John Hartford and his Willie Nelson Sliding Doors moment

… how Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions became the most hi-tech band on the planet

… Rock ‘babes’ in the Bob Weir mould – eg Michael Clarke of the Byrds, Evan Dando and Mark Gardener from Ride

… has anyone made more by doing less than JJ Burnel on Golden Brown?

... plus Warren Zevon song titles, Mary Coughlan in a coracle and the first records we reviewed for money.
