Happycat comments:
Wow! Bob says alot in this. I dig his tying in the concepts of the dreamtime realities, and the 2012 stuff – and he is talking this on CNBC! He went out there into some wacky stuff, and mostly held it together with coherence.
Intersting comment on the “more personal interchange” old styledeadhead tape trading community where you know “the color of someone’s eyes” vs. just knowing thier online cyberhandle. I hope Deadheadland helps to make the internet a friendlier place where we do get to know some new friends, and grow together over time, be more real and personal! No one wants to download the show and listen to it in isolation – we love to share, and talk about it, and suggest our favorites and even help newbies get going. (note: Deadheadland is not a music download site – we are a channel of information, and sometimes point out where the music is – and we are also very into human connection through online community, )
It is a different time, “Everyday things change” as Bob said, though many of us are also from the time he talked about. The online community does make space change – distance barely matters! Probally all part of building towards that time after time – when was that, 2013? Will we still need calendars? And our cyberspace community does seem to be part of a dreamtime manifestation…
His advice to the audience of “wealthy viewers” about having enough money and having awareness that there are people hurting right now. Wow, thanks for saying all that Bob. See you real soon!
Jerry Moore, original Relix editor found dead – R.I.P.
Original Relix Editor, Jerry Moore, died June 3 in his sleep at his parents home in the Bronx. R.I.P.
Jerry was a well known Taper, one of the originals! This picture is from David Gans on his Flickr page – and was taken in January 2008 when Jerry visited the Sirius studios.
Taper culture was a new thing, an innovation – really it was at the orgins of the ideas behind Open Source, and Filesharing. Another culture trend started by deadheads.
Relix Magazine began as a fanzine about the Grateful dead, and the growing taper and deadhead family. While Relix now covers the greater music scene with a focus on Jambands and Festival culture, it is still tie-dyed to the wool and always acknowledges it’s roots as a magazine for Deadheads.
Would Relix even have come into being without Jerry? I’m talking Moore, not Garcia right now. According to DeadDisc.com:
A US magazine which was originally a California based Grateful Dead fanzine. From the first issue in late 1974 through to the last issue of 1976 the title of the magazine was Dead Relix. From 1977 onward the title was Relix except for a couple of years in the 1980’s when Dead Relix was temporarily reinstated. There have generally been 6 issues each year.
Relix was edited by Jerry Moore from 1974 to 1977, Jeff Tamarkin from 1978 to 1979 and Toni Brown from 1980 to 2002.
Initially the magazine was intended primarily for Grateful Dead taper traders. The musical coverage slowly expanded during the early years to cover other Bay Area music. Hence the change in title in 1977. The range of music continued to expand to take in other genres. From the mid-80’s to mid-90’s a steady balance was achieved with a Grateful Dead focus remaining at the centre of wide ranging music and non-music content.

Deadheadland owes a debt of gratitude to the late Jerry Moore; the love and unlimited devotion of people like Jerry paved the golden road. While I didn’t personally know him, I still feel the loss – especially as I realize the impact he has had seeding this community. An inspiration to move brightly. Do what you love, and love what you do.
