The Grateful Dead - and Post-Dead - heading off-road...

A Requiem for the Dead

Dead and Company—the most successful and longest-running post-Jerry configuration of Grateful Dead members—has purportedly given up the road. We took one last trip to Shakedown Street to make sense of what it all meant and what it means if they’re done.

Prince Eugene and his Palaces - Pt 2/2 - "Upper Belvedere"

By the mid 1720's, the legendary prince had moved into the newly completed "Upper Belvedere", palace,, higher up on the hill looking down at the first Palace he'd built a decade earlier, the "Lower Belvedere" (so called once there was an upper). While the reflecting pond regretfully refused to reflect for me - be it time of day/angle of sun, clouds, or water level (given European drought) elsewhere) - whatever. The reflection gods seem to have remained back at Freud's house.

So Prince Eugene got to enjoy some 13 years here with his garden view, before passing on, and - heirless - passing on his palaces back to his beloved Austria, where he devoted himself after initially being raised as nobility in France's court of King Louis XiV.

Not by design, but I paired a post yesterday (Lower Belvedere) with "Lucky Man", a little bit relevant (nobleman off fighting for country) but without a sudden tragic ending. In real life the Prince was fragile in his final years, but died at home in his sleep. And this palace is stunningly beautiful - and I should add that the two palaces now comprise museums with some of the world's finest art, including the biggest/best collection of Klimt. Nothing broke-down about this palace, though it lost its creator, reborn as an art treasure.

Brokedown Palace

Here's a song totally un-related (at least obviously) to this gorgeous palace, which has been but is not now broke down. Well... life,
simply a twist of #fate, or i-Ching.... thinking of "Palace" songs this sprang to mind. A powerful song about passings, actually, a beautiful song with which the Grateful Dead sometimes ended sets , and which many have chosen as a funeral tribute since.
(Check out the tear-jerker comments on YT if you go there; it is truly a great song, and for some very powerful, hopefully better now.

There are many castle songs which are great ("Castles Made of Sand" comes to mind, guess JH had a thins: "Spanish Castle Magic")
Anyway, I really spent years without hearing/thinking (Grateful) Dead, and now they're popping up. Fate. #Castles

Lower Belvedere

So yeah, long live the Prince (in legacy), long live the King (of England now)... plus the Kings/Queens of Music.

And 'they don't make Palaces like they used to!' ;)

One or two tabs keep taking me back to the Dead!

To clarify: browser tabs! Though one or two tabs of anything might do it.
I've only recently re-listened to some long-ago favorites, and long-form gems I've not heard for years.
Realizing half the social universe was not born yet much less at this concert, still... it may be new to some, refreshing to old friends.

Touch Of Grey / Greatest Story Ever Told - Grateful Dead Live, July 1990

A sort of snappy song which caught my free ear just now. Some interesting history in the description.

A good day for reflecting on things,

Under Eternity

This is cued up to the refrain, "Under eternity", which was the topic of a conversation or two today, between some photos of medieval churches, some Grateful Dead, and not least of all, the funeral of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth.

It's a long, trippy Dead song.... scroll back to hear the whole thing. But this refrain... have not heard in years and years. Eerie...>
