New Year Dead

Things are all ready getting more interesting in '09, thanks to President-elect Barack Obama — starting with a return to the road with remaining members of the Grateful Dead. Thanks to some warm-up dates in the form of fundraisers for Obama, the band's stretched out its calves and they're ready to rock. The lineup includes original Dead members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart along with Ratdog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and Allman Brothers Band/Gov't Mule guitarist Warren Haynes. They'll hit Chicago May 5th at the Allstate Arena. Start airing out your hemp pants, folks. Tickets go on sale January 13th.

"The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
