Sacrifice for the Dead














My pal Chris who lives in Houston wants to go to the Grateful Dead's "Fare Thee Well" show(s) in Chicago.

He's one of the many who have been aced out in the primary market for tickets to the concert, which sold out Soldiers' Field in a heartbeat.

I was never a huge fan myself, but Dead Heads are in heat, it seems, and this final tour for the old geezers, band and fans alike, is must-see programming.

If he goes, Chris will have to pay big.  He is a lifelong fan, having followed the band around the U.S. and Europe in the past.

The Dead aren't what they used to be without Garcia, of course, but the times have changed as well.

Where do hippies get their money these days?  Wow...
