We're bad friends!
I have a school presentation.
Oh, great. This is exciting.
Oh, yeah, she seems amped about it.
Do you see her face?
Yeah, I can tell that you're down.
Before we do this, can I talk to you?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Get into her heart, man.
Are you sad?
No.
Can I be real with you for a second?
If you ever need to talk to someone about...
Are you on your phone?
I'm gonna do the...
Oh, the presentation.
If you ever need to talk to someone about panic attacks or anxiety,
you know you can always text me.
She will never text you.
You'll text me.
She will never...
I swear to God she'll never text you.
I suffer from anxiety and depression very much,
and I gotta tell you, if you ever want advice...
If Kalilah and I died for some reason, right?
And she was homeless, right?
And she needed a sandwich,
you'd probably be the last person she'd go to.
Last?
Yeah, because there's...
Wow.
Yeah.
And let that seep into your fucking heart.
I mean, all the stuff I've done for you is pretty remarkable.
It's crazy.
I know.
I've done so much nice stuff for you.
Yeah.
Why don't we see your fucking presentation?
Little shit.
Okay.
All right.
What is it?
Oh, I like this.
Oh, The Grateful Dead.
The Grateful Dead by Rudy.
Oh, let's see, Rude.
Let's hear it.
Hello, everyone.
Hello.
I'm Rudy.
And I'm going to be presenting The Grateful Dead.
Wonderful.
Oh, sorry.
No, you don't clap.
Oh.
My bad.
So, as you can see, there are a lot of names.
But the first people that formed The Grateful Dead were Jerry Garcia, Bob Wire,
Phil Lesh, and Bill Krutzman.
And then the other few were when those four, or no, those three left, and then
they replaced them.
Right on.
And then the other names of the band are the other ones.
You don't really have to.
The Dead.
I like it.
Legion of Mary, Dead and Company, and Rat Dog.
Rat Dog, baby.
Rat Dog, baby.
And then the fans' names are called, the fans' name is called Deadhead.
Deadheads.
Exactly, Deadheads, yeah.
And then those are the genres of The Grateful Dead.
Rock, psychedelic rock, blues rock, and et cetera.
Yes.
And you're missing one of the members.
Who's the newest guitar member?
Who's the newest guitar player?
He's not up there.
John Mayer?
John Mayer.
Yeah.
He's not up there.
Why is he not up there?
I forgot.
You forgot.
Is John Mayer playing for The Grateful Dead?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Yeah, he's, yeah.
Okay.
Do you know he's, I won't get it.
It's like probably one of the best modern guitarists of our time.
I'm still presenting.
Can I say this then?
Genuinely.
I know you are, but can I just say that?
Let me interject real quick.
One of the best guitarists of our time.
He's great.
No, no, no.
One of the best guitarists of our time.
I want to say something even more controversial, though.
Oh, boy.
Here it goes.
Okay.
I think that Adam Lambert is better than Freddie Mercury.
Next slide.
That picture of them was the first show that they did.
Oh, cool.
And then they began as the Warlocks and formed early 1965 in Palo Alto, CA.
Palo Alto, California, an extremely wealthy area of Northern California where
Stanford University is.
And then the name Grateful Dead was chosen from a dictionary, and it meant the
soul of a dead person or his angel showing gratitude to someone who arranged
their burial.
Burial.
But yes.
Don't correct her.
Well, it is burial.
In the Philippines, it's called burial.
Burial.
Yeah.
I went to his funeral in burial.
Yeah.
Next slide, please.
Fun fact.
Say no to drugs.
Okay.
In 1970, the band was going to perform at the warehouse in New Orleans.
Yes.
And at the night of January 31, police raided their hotel and arrested 19
people with possession of various drugs.
Now, that's disappointing.
I never thought that band was into that kind of stuff.
That's disgusting.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
During their Europe 72 tour, Pigpen's house, one of the members, deteriorated
to the point where he could no longer tour with the band.
Yep.
He died on March 8, 1973.
That is his picture.
That is his picture.
He is known for his long beard.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That is his picture?
Can you imagine if it was a picture of somebody else?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is a friend of his.
Yeah.
I'm going to be telling, this slide, I'm going to be telling you of the deaths
of the members.
Oh, my God.
This is amazing.
Give us the deaths, baby.
On February 1975, Keith and Donna Jean Godchow.
Just try for it.
Godchow.
They were both like a couple.
No shit.
Two random people with the same fucked up last name?
I'm just telling you because you might not know.
Yeah, you might not know.
When Keith and Donna met, they're like, you're a Godchow too?
They left the band, but then Keith died in 1980 because of a car accident.
Oh, no.
That's right.
Midland, the keyboardist of Grateful Dead for 11 years, died due to narcotics
overdose in 1990.
Then shortly, Jerry Garcia, the main singer.
Garcia's health started to decline, and then Garcia was in a diabetic coma for
several days in July 1986, later died on August 9, 1995.
Wait, wait, wait.
He was in a coma for nine years?
Several days.
No, days.
A few days.
Wait, wait.
Garcia was in a diabetic coma for several days in July of 86.
Okay.
I thought he stayed in a coma for nine years.
And he played the whole time.
He died in 1995.
Next slide, please.
My high school girlfriend's brother had his hand.
You know, he only had four fingers on one of his hands.
Yeah.
And he had, you know, his handprint on a poster in his room, and it always
intimidated me because his hand was so big, and her brother hated me.
Go ahead.
The Grateful Dead performed the last concert on July 9, 1995 at Soldier Field
in Chicago, and that year was when Joey Garcia died.
Joey?
Joey, Jerry.
It doesn't matter.
Jerry Garcia died.
Whoa.
All right, relax.
That's the way she yells.
Okay, and their legacy, the Grateful Dead formed during the era when bands such
as the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Rolling Stones were dominating the airwaves.
That's right.
They were part of the process of establishing what psychedelic music was.
They were the pioneering godfathers of jam band world, and they sold more than
35 million albums worldwide.
That's impressive.
Impressive.
And you can buy their merchandise.
We're plugging their merch on the show?
No, I'm just saying.
Okay.
Is that, what else?
That is all.
Thank you for listening.
Wait, you have to have some kind of ending.
That's what she was just doing.
Thank you for listening.
Go ahead.
I mean...
She has a big thing planned.
Go ahead.
Read the thing.
I mean, say it, what you were going to say.
That is all.
Thank you for listening.
Goodbye.
That was the big thing.
Thank you for listening.
Goodbye.
I thought you had a bigger thing than that.
That's your thing?
You were banking on thank you for listening.
Goodbye.
That was it.
How about this?
Let's add one more piece right now, just to end it.
I want you to give us kind of a summation of what the group is and means to you
and why they're
important to music.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
And without looking at the notes.
Go ahead.
The group is a rock band formed in the 1980s, I think.
And then...
It's your book report.
What the band means to me is their use of drugs.
Because when you see them perform, they are more enjoyable when they use drugs.
That's correct.
I've never had a more accurate description in my life.
Yeah, that's them.
To a T.
That's perfect.
Yeah, just a bunch of drug addicts.
Yeah, just a bunch of drug addicts.
