An Early Clue to the New Direction: Special "Oh Wow!" Edition

From 1970 or so, please enjoy legendary hippies The Grateful Dead and a live version of a song that eventually turns into their tribute to John Carpenter, the celebrated "Dark Star." Or so I'm told -- I frankly didn't have the patience to listen all the way through.



In any case, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

    So some of my tastes are decidedly twee.

    Does that make me a bad person?

    Well, yes, but that's besides the point.
