Grateful Dead enter this millenium

Grateful Dead Fan Site Reborn as Social Network

The new version of Dead.net was created on the Drupal content management platform and features extensive archives cataloging Grateful Dead history, songs, photos, memorabilia, and shows, indexed and searchable by tags. Dead users will be able to participate in forums, upload their own photos, and bookmark concerts and shows they have attended. Fans will also be treated to exclusive free mp3 show downloads.

Yes, old skool hippies have found the internet and are using Drupal to be hip. According to Techcrunch this site will be live within 24h's. From what I found it isn't a Sony BMG site . So it seems that the music industry (as well as the printed media -more news from the Netherlands soon!)- are adopting Drupal fast.

Whats next? Abba using Drupal?

Sure, you are young!

Ok. I had to look Clifford up, so you are obviously much brighter than I am. (Don't get too big headed - that's not saying much.)

However, I am 45, so you should respect your elders. Eye-wink

Love your blog! Thanks! ... Amy Smiling

btw, if you are able to get a copy of the cuckoo's egg, do. A bit too sanfran for me, but apart from that it sort of changed my life. I decided to become a nerd.
