Definitely doesn't feel like it's supposed to be the target demographic. Is it just hippies who went on to become professionals and hold on to their whimsical days by listening to a band?
Edit: Thanks for the thoughtful replies.

May 22, 1977. Hollywood Sportatorium. Pembroke Pines, Florida.
The Morning Dew that stops time. The Terrapin Station that built to something almost unbearable. The show Dick Latvala signed on the Dick's Picks Vol. 3 insert declaring it a uniquely "magical show."
"5-22-77 tears apart Ithaca. It rips it to shreds." — Dick Latvala
The Sportatorium is gone. A Sedano's supermarket now stands at 17171 Pines Blvd, Pembroke Pines where legends played. But May 22, 2027 marks exactly 50 years.
If someone organized a proper 50th anniversary celebration at the Sporto in South Florida — back in the city where it happened — would you travel for it?
And if you came, who would be your dream lineup?
— A beloved national artist sitting in with a top-tier local Dead band performing the complete 5/22/77 setlist?
— Someone specific who would get you to buy a plane or bus ticket?
— Warren Haynes? Oteil? John Kadlecik? Melvin Seals? DSO? An all-star jam?
This community's voice genuinely matters. Who would bring you home to Pembroke Pines?
We love Grateful Pembroke Pines 🤍
I have always wanted a space to talk to people and share ideas on the pages found within Wikipedia. There is the Talk page for Wikipedians, but I have always found it clunky and not really a space to discuss pages within Wikipedia. So I started to build this site a few weeks ago.
Hey friends! Something a little different this week. Looking at an interview I did with mandolin legend David Grisman, I found a great clip about his first meeting the great Jethro Burns. Dawg says another future mandolin legend was waiting in the wings. Watch the full interview on my channel Rock Pop Mandolin.
It’s wild to think that exactly 62 years ago today, they were essentially a bar band playing mid-sixties rock and roll and R&B covers.
The Scene at Magoo's
Located at 639 Santa Cruz Avenue, it was a popular hangout for the local college crowd and teenagers.
Phil Lesh had only just joined the band (learning bass on the fly), and they played every Wednesday night for a month to sharpen their sound.
It wasn't long after these Magoo's residency shows that they encountered Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, eventually changing their name to the Grateful Dead, by the end of 1965.
While Magoo's is no longer a pizza parlor (it has been several different businesses over the decades), a plaque was placed at the site to commemorate it as the birthplace of one of the most influential bands in history.
I am going to be playing 50 Dead songs in one evening (guitar and vocals), to commemorate my 50th orbit around the sun. I am inviting you to come by and listen to a few songs, or all fifty if you like. There is no fee, I am just a guy playing guitar in a park.
Come by on Friday July 3rd from 6pm to 9:30 or 10. At the GreenUp ecology park pavilion. Parking available at Beavermead park (Ashburnham and Marsdale)
You are welcome to sing along, but keep in mind I will be playing these songs quicker than you are used to. Also, no ten minute guitar solos. There are five picnic tables, I will need one for my stuff.
See you there!
I’m so happy for a remastered version of this song. Been waiting for so long. Enjoy!
