I’m Not Feeling You

I got really excited when I read the headline: “Grateful Dead Original Line-up to Reunite for Obama Fundraiser.” Then I read on and realized it was the surviving members of the Grateful Dead who plan to reunite this October for an Obama benefit, which makes more sense but was also immediately less impressive, both for the obvious reasons and because, on balance, the surviving members of The Grateful Dead are just way less impressive than the nonsurviving members of The Grateful Dead… unless the reunion raises those non-surviving members from the dead and zombie Jerry Garcia stabs Sarah Palin to death with Karl Rove’s spine.
