Yeah, I like the Grateful Dead. Are they my absolute favorite band? No, but I like them. Don't currently own any of their albums, although at one time I had Skeletons from the Closet: The Best of the Grateful Dead and In the Dark both in my music collection. The Traveling Wilburys kind of reminded me of the Grateful Dead, but on a smaller scale. Kind of a weird thing for me to say perhaps, since the TWs were a super group comprised of rock icons, but as we know they produced far less music as a group than GD. And I guess it's fair to say each of these groups' demise was due at least in part to the passing of key band members. That's always sad when good bands stop what they were put on this earth to do, especially when their music has such lasting impacts for their fans.
