On Day 12, the Grateful Dead told us that we’ve got to love one another

2020 has been a difficult year but through their music and their actions, the Grateful Dead have given us the tools we need to persevere through difficult times. Many of their lyrics have a common theme of love and kindness. Here is just a small sampling from the songs that I featured in this year’s playlist…

Love will see you through

Without love in the dream it will never come true

Only love can fill

I love you more than words can tell

Are you kind?

I will give what love I have to give

Words are meaningless if we don’t practice what we preach. Time after time, the Grateful Dead have demonstrated acts of love and kindness by playing benefit concerts for those most in need and by establishing a non-profit foundation to support their numerous charitable endeavors.

On August 13, 1995, thousands of grieving fans flocked to the Polo Field in Golden Gate Park for a public memorial celebration of Jerry Garcia’s life. The band had been such a big part of our lives for so many years and now it had come to an end leaving us feeling alone, sad and rudderless. In a final act of love, members of the band told us to carry on this thing that we’d been involved with all these years. Take all of the joy we had experienced and give it to others to enjoy and benefit from. In other words, continue loving. As Glinda, the good witch in The Wizard of Oz said to Dorothy, “You had the power all along, my dear.”

We know what to do. Let’s do this together. We are only as strong as our community. As I said at the beginning of this project: “Let’s Miracle the world.”

I will leave you with three songs that embody the relationship between the Grateful Dead and its fans – “Not Fade Away,” “Good Lovin’” and “My Brother’s & Sisters.” I realize that the last song was never performed by the Grateful Dead and that I have never featured a JGB song in any of my projects but it seemed more than appropriate to break tradition in this strange year. Besides, the sentiment sums up this entire project…

Through this world of trouble

We gotta love one another

Thank you for following my project. I wish you all much health, peace and love in the New Year…especially the love.
