Apr 8, 2008 - I am with you on this. I know that its an important election, but what happened to the apolitical nature of the Dead? Its kind of like the separation of church & state. So important.

Apr 18, 2008 - Strange to see comments pining for the "apolitical" Grateful Dead. Remember the Rainforest Benefit? Remember SEVA? Remeber the Mime Troupe Benefits? Remember Bobby and Mickey on Letterman encouraging everyone to vote for Gore? Remember Dylan and the Dead doing "Masters of War" Remember a guy named Garcia playing all over the Airplane's "Volunteers?" C'mon. And Bobby, Phil & Mickey sure ain't apolitical now, either. Yes we can!

May 24, 2008 - Fuck me, I'd better get my arse out and vote for Obama if The Dead say so. Oh shit, I forgot, I'm British, and we're stuck with our current troop of monkeys for another two years.

Jul 13, 2008 - they never said "vote for obama" so why is that the title of the video? seems more like a personel choice to me.

Jul 14, 2008 - The video was shot backstage at the "Deadheads For Obama" concert shortly before the California primary. The point of this web PSA was to encourage fans to vote for the candidate of their choice, but the bandmembers' choice was clear: Barack Obama.

Jul 14, 2008 - ya, i saw that on the next vid after i commented. i havent been following politics much lately, but i think that the members should have kept their personel choice, well, personel. but most elections are like:"do you want the puppet on the left, or the puppet on the right?" we can make a difference, but we really need to make more of a stand to voice our opinions. i say vote for peace.

Jul 27, 2008 - The Dead were always misfit musicians who talked like smart white guys - talking about CD techno and global warming way before others. Obama is a nonwhite that talks like a smart white guy.The other white guys talk like dumb military dictators. Its a no brainer for me.
