The writer is probably a 20 something who grew up on Britney Spears. Psychedelic “Friend of the Devil” — that’s to laugh out loud. Right up there with “psychedelic” Uncle John’s Band and Sugar Magnolia. That was the peak of the Dead for me.

Saw them a bunch of times and a great stoner-country band they wuz. RIP Marmaduke.

Back in 1966-67 I used to go to the free Grateful Dead concerts every Sunday in Golden Gate park. Crazy dazes...
