The Grateful Dead Experience as Literature?

F-yeah! The third story to grace the pages of EXPERIENCED is Tim Weed's "Steal Your Face." It's a short story that would make make Mark Twain proud, as if Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn found themselves on tour with Jerry and the boys and culminated their eventful summers on a head full of acid in Colorado at the Red Rocks amphitheater in Boulder.You have to read it to believe it!

EXPERIENCED Review at Generation A.D.D.

Big thanks to Ed Wagemann for his comprehensive and insightful review of EXPERIENCED on his blog, Generation A.D.D.

Ed writes, "The Rock music world has many different layers, so many different story lines, so much history, technology, innovation, adventure, culture, creative performances and moments that are as complex and beautiful as life itself. Experienced, as the back cover promises, delves into the world of Rock music from all those angles and more."
