...reaction to The Grateful Dead Movie must ultimately depend on one's opinion of the Dead themselves. Deadheads all over the United States will love this film and see it as many times as they can, preferably while: a) stoned out, or b) tripping. For a non-rock enthusiast, forget it, and for the average rock fan, well, this is just a very average rock movie, and on the long side at that...
When she is thwarted, Ray's mouth clenches as stubbornly as John Bull's, the engaging twinkle vanishes from her amber eyes, and she lasers her opponent with a lethal stare. Says one of the state's top Democrats: "She's unwilling to forgive and forget, and that's one of the cardinal rules of politics...
...think, and how could a film starring Burt Reynolds be any other way? This is unfair; Reynolds saves Semi-Tough, and the fault lies not with him but with Ritchie.

It quite literally has everything--a musical hook that won't quit; a lyric tag you won't be able to forget; strong, simple orchestration; and best of all, a sly and casual vocal with Scaggs fitting his voice to the lyrics as well as he's ever done. The song is fully within the "Silk Degrees" style, but it shows a sure touch, a confidence and sense of command that's nowhere in evidence...
