Bootlegs recordings of the Grateful Dead through a stack of Schiit with Meze 109pro open back headphones. In the 90s the dead would show up in Las Vegas in June and the heads would travel from miles around to fry in two ways with desert heat. Bootleg cassette tapes would show up like crazy as the heads needed money to follow the band. Some say the Dead was the greatest band on earth but Jerry was a world renowned a-hole in real life and the Warlocks could never play a song twice the same way to save their souls. The Grateful Dead are going to be Recognized at the Kennedy honors. |

He was great, but I wonder why I never heard him on the radio when I was a kid. I never knew about him until I was in my 50s. |

He was Shawnee and claimed that he wasn’t always welcome as a result. I don’t know. I also seem to remember that the song was banned in many places because of the name. |

My dad hid his Indian heritage his whole life while his brother moved to Oklahoma and lived as a Cherokee. My paternal grandmother, who’s been gone a long time, was full blooded Blackfoot. I wouldn’t have even known that if she hadn’t told my aunt at one point, my father, her son didn’t even know. She would not talk about her heritage at all. She lived as just another white person in Michigan where she moved to when she married my grandfather. I can only surmise that where she came from wasn’t the best place to be an Indian outside of the reservation. |

My great great grandmother was a Chickasaw went to reform school in Arkansas and was a mail order bride circa 1890. the wife's grand father was a Cherokee also went to reform school in Arkansas circa 1910. Expansion of the country integrated many Indians through reform schools and absorbed them into the population.

Interesting discussion. My great grandmother’s maiden name was Crow, and family lore was that she was Native American. Doing a little research on my part revealed her true name was Kroh, and that she was solidly of German descent. At some point the name was Anglicized to Crow. Her husband’s family was descended from New England Yankees who eventually settled in Iowa, and she wasn’t popular with the family, so I can only imagine the family lore was a slur that eventually softened to a family story.

My great-grandmother always said she was a quarter Cherokee. Genetic tests indicate, however, that I have no Native American ancestry. What I do have is some Sub-Saharan African. For a long time in the South, claiming to be part Indian was a way a nominally white person covered for their skin tone showing African-American influence.

For a long time in the South, claiming to be part Indian was a way a nominally white person covered for their skin tone showing African-American influence. I don't see how that would be an improvement. In some places Indians were treated worse than blacks. I was never told that my grandmother was Indian. I always wondered why her profile looked like the guy on the Buffalo nickel. I found out on Ancestry. DNA is no good for determining the 5 tribes ancestry. They lived at peace with the Europeans for almost 300 years so they are pretty blended. Two of my great great grandmothers walked the Trail of Tears and my Scotch-Irish ancestors followed. It's hard to tell exactly when the intermarrying began in my family, but it was probably before 1800. |

I saw the Flaming Lips live two years ago. They had a giant pink robot on stage with them, it was anatomically correct. Great show. |

Still a favorite song of mine and I will never grow tired of Frank Frazetta album covers. I was and am still a huge fan of his art. Makes me almost feel 16 again listening to this and looking at the cover.
