This week is a very special Deadpod, as it marks the start of our
Winter pledge drive for our community radio station, KOPN 89.5 FM
as well as for the Deadpod. Musically, we'll continue where we left
off last week - we'll be listening to most of the second set from
RFK Stadium, June 10th, 1973. This is truly classic Grateful Dead -
Eyes of the World into Stella Blue, a Big River, Here Comes
Sunshine and a great Dark Star are some of the highlights of this
fantastic set..
In the second part of the Deadpod I talk to Gary McKinney,
musician, and author of a new novel, Slipknot, a murder mystery whose main
character, Sheriff Gavin Pruitt, is a Deadhead. The novel explores
his philosophy -influcenced by the band of course, and a classic
confrontation of self interest verses the environment..
Best of all I have ten copies of Slipknot to send out to anyone
interested in reading this great novel who makes a contribution to
the Deadpod of $20 or more. Just drop me a note and I'll gladly
send you a copy - this is a really fun read and I know you'll enjoy
it.. (You can find Slipknot on Amazon.com or at http://Kearneystreetbooks.com)
Other premiums for this drive include five copies of Donna Jean and the
Tricksters new cd,
and five concert CDs from Ratdog's summer tour.. I'm also
hoping to get at least five copies of the brand new GD cd,
Road Trips vol. 2 which
features performances from the fall of 1977. If you're interested
in these as a premium for your contribution of $50 or more just
drop me a note and I'll let you know what I have available..
I really count on and value your contributions and want to thank
you in advance for your consideration and your support..
