who? Frankly, I don't know how anyone could come out of the Haight in 66 and NOT be a liberal. Plus, the group's philanthropic arm, The Rex Foundation, figures here. Only rich people who are also liberal underrstand the need for philanthropy.

The Dead often spoke in interviews about the symbiotic relationship between them and their fans, about how at the "highest" moment during a show, the two groups were inseperable, and that all members were essential to make this happen. Theodore Stugeon's "More than Human" was often referenced by Phil Lesh when he wanted to explain how collectively the Dead concert experience end result was more than the sum of its parts. In libertarianism, the individual is everything, and his needs are placed above the needs of the mob.

These are opposite ideologies, and I can't see how libertarianism could fit into the whole picture.... Of course there's always a diversity of opinion among a group of people.
