- Yes Barb, I know what you are talking about. It's a National Lampoon
- spoof about what happens to the grateful dead, in old age. The
- not-so-dynamic-duo-anymore meet in a park (Golden Gate?). And they talk
- about the "old days". I think they light a joint too, but a cop comes
- by, then some dicussion about how despite the fact that dope is legal in
- this redition of the future, Jerry still doesn't trust the cops...
- Other Hilarious comments are made when the thing degenerates into the
- "cocaine helicoptor bit". It's pretty funny, but i don't recall the
- name of the album. I know that the national Lampoon people put this out
- though. I heard it on WXRT 93.1 chicago, chicago's finest rock!
- I should add, it was about 15 years ago. If anybody has it, the
- transcription would be good to read! Hint hint.
