Hey, I'll bet you just couldn't wait to be flamed for this
one! What other reason could you have had for posting this
garbage, other than that you knew you would grab some attention
by pissing off some Deadheads? Certainly you're not the
kind of person who goes around making ridiculous statements
about things you know nothing about. 

Or are you?

I used to go to Dead concerts because I loved the music and the
people and the atmosphere and the ideals represented there. But
I've grown up, too. Now I go to Dead concerts because I love the music
and the people and the atmosphere and the ideals represented there.
How about you?
