Very good copy, text clean --- WHILE MANY OF THEIR PEERS flashed brilliantly across the American scene, the Grateful Dead became one of the counterculture's most distinctive and durable institutions. No Simple Highway is the first book to ask why, drawing on new research, interviews, and a fresh supply of material from the Grateful Dead Archive. It adds new insight into their earliest artistic influences, the creation of their own record label, their daunting personal and organizational challenges, and their massive late- career success during the Age of Reagan. - - Routinely caricatured by the mainstream media, the Grateful Dead are often portrayed as grizzled hippie throwbacks with a cult following of burned-out stoners. No Simple Highway corrects that impression, revealing them to be one of the most popular, versatile, and resilient ensembles in the second half of the twentieth century. At last, this legendary American musical institution is given the serious and enter- taining examination it richly deserves. - - "While Dead devotees will revel in the wealth of biographical details here, every reader interested in music and its social repercussions will find Richardson's work both captivating and instructive." -Booklist - - "[A] far-ranging look at the ultimate jam band in the acid-drenched context of their formative years." -Kirkus Reviews - - PETER RICHARDSON teaches humanities and American studies at San Francisco State University.
