    Just wanna make a comment about McCain, we americans are not stupid to know that the only reason a woman is your new pic for VP is because you hope she'll get you the Clinton votes….Cheap Shot, this is politics not a game of who gets the most votes!!!

    He thinks we are too dumb to notice, as it turns out he is the dumbass.

    Are you serious? The man is dead. They have every right to move on with their lives. Jerry would be happy to see his bandmates rally around Obama.

    Is that a fucking kid in the picture with you????

  15. 15

    Interesting!!

  16. 16

    Sorry, but being the offspring of two Deadheads as well as being a fan, the Grateful Dead isn't the Grateful Dead without Jerry Garcia.

  17. 17

    really omg

  18. 18

    Well, I think Nick Carter and Lance Bass should get together, and collectively piss on Obama. How's that for a crazy reunion of boy-banders + 1 Cretin??

    Re: FaithFab – You would vote fer her if she were black….as that is all Obama has to offer…the only change he has to offer is a little, AND I MEAN LITTLE, more color to the white house…..NOTHING ELSE! IF you would have listened to her, and McCain, you would know she is even more qualified than Obama!! She has not only accomplished more in her career, but did it in time to fix dinner and change the diapers!! Wonderful choice….Strenght, know how, and more balls than Obama could dream of having….that liar, talking about how his father believed he would accomplish great things in one breath and then slamming his deadbeat dad for ignoring him and his OVER 20 SIBLINGS, by many many wives and lovers. That is just the brink, communist maternal family and terrorist paternal family….nice roots, OPEN YOUR EYES LIBERAl fools…BRAINWASHED OBAMA CULT VICTIMS NEED HELP!

    DEADHRADS FOR OBAMA BABY!!!!!!! WAVE THAT FLAG!!!!!!!!!!

  22. 22

    Since he is grateful being dead, digging him up for the gigs are out of the question.

    Perez - first off - research before you post now and then.

    The Grateful Dead have been touring on and off as first "The Other Ones" and later as "The Grateful Dead" since 2003.

    They also ran a very successful tour - "The Further Festival" where they took turns playing with other guests.

    This is nothing new for them…. so Jerry is fine.

    And they are helping your Candidate - why knock them ???

    Dumb

  24. 24

    Who is the Greatful Dead?

  25. 25

    Jerry would LOVE IT, Dude! And they made an EXCELLENT choice in Warren Haynes. No one could replace Jerry, but he is pretty dang close. I love it…ROCK ON!!!

  26. 26

    SeriouslyRe: Seriously – I tried to also inform those without knowledge of her that she is more qualified than Obama as well but, you can't change peoples minds. They hear what they want to hear and stay with it. It is true she has done more than him. He didn't pick this women for Hilarys few votes. He did it b/c she is highly qualified. Watch more than CNN and you will learn.

  27. 27

    I totally disagree with this guys!!!!!

    We are Deadheads as well and I am shocked and disappointed!!!!!

    Sorry JerrBear

  28. 28

    NOOOOO!!!!!! The Dead is nothing without Garcia!!!!!!

  29. 29

    He'd say "The Dead Heads have arisen..Pass me some Cherry Garcia!!!"

  30. 30

    The Grateful Dead have always been Democratic Party supporters and have performed countless times in the last 13 years since Jerry Garcia's death under various band names including The Dead and The Other Ones. This isn't blasphemous or offensive at all, esp. to Deadheads all over. Furthermore, the Dave Matthews Band opened up the DNC without LeRoi Moore who passed away just last week and they're sticking with their name. I think it's great. yay Obama.

  31. 31

    Nice!

  32. 32

    Because if they did do it with Jerry, it would probably be awful yucky.

  33. 33

    You obviously know nothing about the Grateful Dead or Jerry Garcia. Every Dead Head AND Garcia fan, and then some, will rally behind them. Sometimes you really need to shut the FLUFF up and stick to your silly worthless celebrity shit (granted funny).
    Keep the real stuff you know nothing about OUT. Let people who appreciate the Grateful Dead make their own decisions.

    Jerry Garcia-

    "I read somewhere that 77 per cent of all the mentally ill live in poverty. Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 per cent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves. "

    "Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us."

    PEACE!

  34. 34

    Sorry Perez but the Grateful Dead still have a huge following and have always been on the political side..democrat side. This is not suprising at all. All you baby boomers, rock the vote! Oh and Bob Weir is the heart of that band!!

  35. 35

    Re: SeeBritty – You must be one of the twelve year olds on this blog. Aren't you suppose to be in school?

  36. 36

    Their The Dead now. Not the Grateful Dead. FYI.

  37. 37

    The Dead have been dead since the summer of 1973.

  38. 38

    they gotten back together since he died and they will again, why would he want them to quit…do you even know anything about the dead? who is pigpen? stick to what you know, which is nothing…

  39. 39

    PEREZ!!! All good deadheads know that jerry would have supported Obama, its not blasphemous at all!

  40. 40

    as many have said, the Dead have been touring for many years since Jerry died! There is a large movement called DEADHEADS FOR OBAMA and back in the spring The Dead played a show in support of Obama. In fact, Barack Obama sent a video message to the fans at the show thanking them for his support. Perez you are really late on this one!

  41. 41

    Is that RUMER potato head next to Demi Lovato?????

  42. 42

    Lame of you to say that it's blasphemous, they are just standing behind their candidate of choice. Besides Bob Wier & Ratdog and Phil & Friends have been touring for many, many years just fine without Jerry. If you were to actually ask Bob, he'd tell you that Jerry is on stage with him every night anyways, so I'm sure he'd be proud of them! :)

    Besides, McCain may keel over before we vote anyways, have you seen him lately? Bleh…

    Go Obama!!

    Re: FaithFab – Wow, I had to read your post 4 times to make sure I was reading it right… what the HELL do you know about politics? It IS about getting the most votes, he (or she) with the most votes WINS!!!!

    Re: Seriously – STFU!

  45. 45

    This is the best news I've heard in a long time.

  46. 46

    ummmmm…dumbass….the grateful dead reunited years ago…they called themselves simply "The Dead"…do your research first for god's sake!!!!

    I'm sure Jerry is smiling. He would come back from the dead and kill everyone if they played for John McCain!!!!

    How is this blasphemy? Glad to see Obama inspired former potheaded rockers of the world.

  49. 49

    Some guys from the Greatful Dead are getting back together for a jam, but that's it. It's not a Dead reunion withouth Jerry.

  50. 50

    Oh, Perez. Like you actually listen to the Dead.
    Still love you though

  51. 51

    personally this by far is the best news ive ever read on this site!!!!
    im already planning my travels around this concert
    ive always wanted to hear the dead live and warren hayes is extremely talented and will do Jerry justice
    keep on truckin obama

  52. 52

    Blasphemous is not the right word. AMAZING, AWESOME, FANTASTIC, PHENOMINAL, GRATE would be more along the right lines. I've seen Bobby and RatDog 7 times in the past 2 years. (Amazing by the way…. ) and Warren Haynes in the 3 times in the past 1 year…, if anything, JERRY would be rejoicing, -dancing if you may- in his grave, knowing that the boys are still keeping it alive, especially for someone like OBAMA who will be so important and special to this country. This country deserves the best, and Jerry would agree that the best for this country right now is OBAMA.

    TAKE IT FROM A DEADHEAD WHO READS PEREZ!!! JERRY WOULD BE PROUD OF HIS FELLOW BANDMATES.

    peace.

  53. 53

    the dead push forward as a group or individuals, they see the light and follow it in their badassery jams. and even me, sometimes dont think music and politics should interesect, melting together like hot wax from cheap candles. i may or may not vote- butdue to a rather blessed geography IF i vote, it goes to barack, no doubt. but whatves, politics are for the college graduate. ha
