...Free spirit" is the label often applied to young Hall. It is an image he cultivates, showing up at meets in leather motorcycle pants and cruising around in a customized 1962 purple microbus. When the Dead's Jerry Garcia died, Hall swam his next meet with a black band traced on his arm in felt-tip pen. His devil-may-care attitude, however, masks a troubled past. As an adolescent, Hall was an indifferent student who clashed with his parents and took refuge at friends' homes. But Hall idolized his maternal grandfather, Charles Keating Jr., a one-time NCAA swimming...
Three have already hit the road. Lollapalooza, the five-year-old alternative-rock extravaganza, defied expectations this time around by booking Metallica, a mainstream metal band, as its headliner. (Says Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich: "We wanted to throw this concert for a loop.")

Fortunately, Furthur isn't the only venue to slake this thirst. Many Deadheads are following some of the Dead's spiritual heirs, like the group Phish, the Dave Matthews Band or the H.O.R.D.E. tour. And there's new--or sorta new--Dead merchandise due soon and often: mandolinist David Grisman, who recorded several sessions with Garcia, plans to release a CD every August for the next few years featuring portions of those recordings. First...
...appalling shortage of genuine blues artists the organization presents at its clubs. If, however, as you state, the company has managed to resurrect the legendary Muddy Waters, who passed away in 1983, please inform it that all is forgiven. And a table for two, please, close to the band. RICH and SHARON SCHNEIDER Blues Beat Lewiston, New York...
