Deadheads of the web gather round.
KPFA is currently streaming its 25th Grateful Dead marathon, which goes till 1 a.m. Sunday. From today's Chronicle article on the Dead-thon:
In his 25th year of Grateful Dead marathons on KPFA, 94.1 FM, David Gans of Oakland hopes to raise $50,000 for the struggling Berkeley radio station. But more important, he hopes to bring joy to millions of Deadheads - a subculture that's bigger now than when lead guitarist Jerry Garcia was alive...Gans will sit in the studio from 9 a.m. today until 1 a.m. Sunday playing live Grateful Dead songs and interviews. There's no advance plan. Like a Dead show itself, the show will evolve spontaneously in tune with the listeners' collective mood.
