“Um, thanks, but no thanks.” or why I couldn’t be a political candidate

“Grateful Dead”[1] apparently reunited last night at the Warfield for Barack Obama. Here’s one extensive review.

If I was a political candidate and that happened to support me, I’d probably say, diplomatically, “Nah, don’t worry about it. I got it covered. Thanks anyway.”

If you haven’t guessed from reading this blog, I’m quite particular about my music. I’m not saying you can’t like or be associated with the Grateful Dead, just that I’d have an issue with being associated with them. I mean, I’m viewing Obama differently already.

[1]How they call themselves that without Jerry Garcia, I don’t know. I don’t see Nirvana being able to reunite with Kurt Cobain, do you?
