Make America Grateful Again
Matt Kibbe attends a Grateful Dead show and explains what makes this iconic band so quintessentially American. The music, the community, and the legacy of the Grateful Dead are a metaphor for liberty and the beautiful chaos that emerges when people are free to work together and create what they’re passionate about.

Nice comments about the Dead. Yeah there was/is a free flowing anarchism emanating from the band but as individuals I doubt they were/are aware of that in a conscious conceptual way. I believe they are pretty much lefty Democrats who haven’t made the connection between the cultural freedom they characterize and its economic corollary – a truly free market.

The Grateful Dead and Kibbe trying to put lipstick on the gratingly extremist society of the anarcho-capitalist pig movement.

What about all the people dead of drug overdoses?
Lybard Hoppe
What about them? Legal drugs would alleviate most of that as knowledge of quality control and dosage amount would be readily available.

No music!
