Though the Grateful Dead were involved in a commercial enterprise with an entrepreneur named Owsley, I can guarantee you they weren't selling deodorant in the 60's and 70's. What's next, a Grateful Dead chain of hairstylists? "With only two visits a month, you'll look like a real Haight-Ashbury freak!" Jeez, we blew our minds so today's kids wouldn't have to (not that I was in Haight-Ashbury, but I was freakin').
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
