Summary: 

[ "We can share what we got of yours, 'cause we done shared all of mine... " ]

I support net.music.dead for 4 reasons:

	(1)  Net.music needs subgroups to keep it readable 
	(2)  The Deadheads post in reasonably high volume AND have
		 done so for a long time (unlike, say, the 3 Stooges fans 
		 or the Prisoner fans on net.tv)
	(3)  This material is not of general interest
	(4)  The subgroup is well defined enough that people can reasonably
		 be expected to decide whether an article goes in the subgroup
		 or the parent group.

Note that reason #2 explains why this is not (yet) going to make 
net.music a mass of net.music.beatles, net.music.duranduran, etc.
The Deadheads are ALREADY active.
