sgrmag2564 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 "The lyrics are worded in such a way, that anybody that hears a Grateful Dead song can interpret it so that it becomes meaningful in their own life...it belongs to you honey, it's yours." Donna Jean Don't think I ever heard it explained quite that way, but I been feelin that way for the better part of 40 years. Peace, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted June 5, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Yup. That was a perfect quote. And i I love Hunter reading the dark star lyrics and saying what do you not understand. Lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP DesertDead Posted June 5, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Agree with both of you - cool stuff. RD, that really is priceless when he reads those abstract, famous lyrics and looks up like "which part don't you understand?" Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Island Bro Posted June 6, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Classic. I also recall a similar quote referring to China Cat along the lines of, "well, with some songs, the meaning is so clear that no explanation is needed". Funny guy besides being a brilliant poet.

Forum MVP Tea Posted June 6, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 At the height of its power and your openness to its possibilities, This music seems to finally help solve an elusive universal puzzle with a piece that's been missing since you started. The irony is that while you get a one-blink glimpse of the solution, other pieces go missing with the next blink. It's cruel but also fitting in a way. A very well done piece with world-class editing and production. It could've been 8 hours and still just scratched the surface. The story about Morning Dew during Europe '72 was just excellent. The ending made me pretty sad with a little ray of hope at the very end. The whole thing together was riveting despite some surprising omissions. It was a bit strange to see a story about something that has been at the core of my life for so long. It feels just like yesterday and 10 lifetimes ago - all at the same time. I'm just thankful for DSO's dedication to this music - it's their life's work. There is no band delivering the expression with the power and energy that they are. It's a sight to behold and a true blessing for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted June 7, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 We'll said ed. Seeing the documentary made me appreciate what we have with DSO even more. Thank god there's some heads out there with extreme musical talent or the end of that last segment would have been more sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
