The Grateful Dead - Dark Star (single - mp3)

I seem to remember really liking The Grateful Dead a whole lot for about an entire year way back in the mid-1990s - I really liked the early Dead especially (1965-1973) and even more especially really liked the Anthem of the Sun and AOXOMOXOA albums a lot (still do) - and like I said, this "really liking" took place for about an entire year in the mid-1990s...

And then all the "really liking" stopped and then I became just
a casual, lazy fan of The Grateful Dead and their music...

I never saw them, never cared too much for the whole obsessive fan-base taping and trading system. When I got on the internet I was grossed-out and sickened by the almost perverse and sad number of Grateful Dead-oriented websites devoted to microscopic degrees of detail regarding the band and their music...

See the misguided Archive.Org for some real grotesque Grateful Dead fan obsessing...it's enough to make even a jaded and opinionated baby cry.

Anyway, this is the single version of The Dead's classic "Dark Star" -
it's very short, but it isn't long...and it's even brief (see above) and (as they say) brevity is next to bronchitis...
