Are you a fan of calling Jerry's birthday to Jerry's death "Days Between"?

I know I am probably asking about 3 people, since this community is pretty small, but posts make growth hopefully.

What do you think?

I find it rather silly. Seems like a very recent notion, and frankly feels more like a Rhino/Warner marketing campaign to me.

But I could be wrong, maybe it grew organically and is just part of the culture today.

How do you feel about it?

I'm a newcomer on the bus, so I have no idea how old it is. But, I kind of like the idea of taking some time and just remembering Jerry and listening to his work.

That being said, it of course begs the question of when we have a Weir week or a Lesh week or...

But, it does feel kind interesting that there's a song called Days Between and Jerry's birthday and death being so close with just a few days between. I guess it's just the classic Grateful Dead synchronicity.

I guess I shouldn't have said very recent. More just somewhat recent. But at least only in the last 20 years. Wow a lot of time has passed...

A community for Deadheads on Lemmy.

Feel free to post music, discussion, memes, articles and anything else related to the Grateful Dead or the band members' side projects.

Only a couple quick rules, I think most should be obvious anyway:

  1. Stay on topic - keep posts Dead related
  2. Keep disagreements civil
  3. No NSFW (pornographic) content
  4. No racist, sexist, bigoted or violent content
  5. No politics (unless something is directly related to the band or its members) or other deliberately divisive topics
  6. Above all else, be kind, ain't no time to hate
