Listeners respond: remembering the Grateful Dead

The World

We take a journey back in time with Jerry Garcia, 15 years after his death. Takeaway listener, Lauren from New Jersey called in to say:

“While I can’t name Grateful Dead songs, I hear them and it just reminds me of my childhood. My mom was pregnant and went to a concert with mein her belly, and the Grateful Dead are what I grew up on”
