(3rd set because the Allmans had the 1st set-my recollection was that they played a fine set, but it was early on an oppressively hot day, which made their set harder to fully get into (as opposed to the Dead's later in the day sets, particularly this last one, at sundown, which was absolutely killer. Of course, my memory may be notf-so-accurate due to the typical, ahem, mitigating activities common at the time...)

Yes, JJ is an exception. GD distate at WFMU was at its height back in the '90s when I was doing overnights. I once played "Feedback" from Live Dead and TKF (RIP and bless his soul) came rushing in from the record library to ask, excitedly "Who is this?" " I'm not saying" I said. "C'mon man who is it?" "Grateful Dead." With that, he turned and walked away. Many, many of the other personnel at the station would have done the same thing. It was all "bring me the head of Jerry Garcia."

I once had dinner with the British actor Derren Nesbitt, and he told (amazing) tales of working with Sinatra on the film The Naked Runner. They were, by turns, frightening, hilarious and heart warming. If you were on his good side, there was no better acquittance in the world. If you were not...

Nice trumpet duet (or close, flugelhorn is in the family). Saw Faddis many times as part of Dizzy Gillespie's quintet, where he'd out-Dizzy Dizzy (of course, Diz was pretty old by that time).

It was a little painful hearing Bob Weir reaching for the stars, but like Sinatra, The Grateful Dead served up a palliative that went beyond music. As cringe worthy as a lot of their fans were, they obviously enjoyed themselves. What the hell is wrong with that? Frank Sinatra made young women pass out on the floor. I think THAT was looked at as extreme behavior in the 1940's and had disproving oldsters in a huff.

Excuse me for being off topic, but I was asleep during most of The Deadfest earlier.

Haven't read about Oppenheimer, but I might be coaxed to view the movie. I really don't like movies. But I did read a biography of Harvard President James Bryant Conant, which deals with his (and thus Oppenheimer's) part in the race for nuclear weapons: James B.

Looking through a list of drinks names, I thought something w/ that quote from the Bhagavad Gita---"I have become Death, the destroyer of Worlds" would be a top of the pops name for a tipple. W/ GP strength, plus your magic chemistry, wizardry, black arts, what-have-you, the rest would be mere (insane) child's play.

Really "enjoyed" the movie, would recommend it (saw it in one of these "high end' theaters, with incredible wide screen, and seats that reclined and vibrated when bombs went off (thought the theater volume was too high, but otherwise very immersive indeed)

The funny thing with that line is that, according to his brother, who was there with him when the Gadget went off, JRO said nothing of the kind at the time. Instead, he cooked that one up for a interview (on ABC?) later on. So I think the true I Am Become Death recipe is to pass out in a trench after swigging Glen Passaic from the bottle, then make like you were partying with Sinatra, Martin, Davis, and the Basie band when you come round the next day.
