"The Dead came through Chapel Hill when I lived there for a year and the streets were filled with deadheads. On the way to a hardcore show I encountered this filthy kid selling grilled cheese sandwiches on the sidewalk for a dollar. I was feeling really real in my steel-toed boots and kicked his sandwich grill pretty hard and loffed and loffed when it skittered into the street. Dude, if you're one of the 3 people who reads this column, just know I still feel bad about that."

Everyone has their own opinion of course, but you’re in a jam band mostly from Vermont looking for a cult following I assume….I guess we could hope for the Spinal Tap bass player effect.
