Steve Silberman's tribute to Jerry Garcia, 1942-1995

Skeleton Key:A Dictionary for Deadheads is 400 pages of lore,

history, interviews, and thoughts on the Meaning of It All, from

what guitarist Jerry Garcia calls "the Grateful Dead outback" - the

diverse global community that is nourished by the music of the

Grateful Dead and the shared experience of Dead shows.

Skeleton Key is a labor of love and "deadication" by Deadheads

David Shenk and Steve Silberman, published by Doubleday/Main Street

Books in 1994.Skeleton Key celebrates the magic, humor, and

significance of the Deadhead community, while it investigates the

history of the Long Strange Trip - from the days of be-bop jazz and

the Beat Generation writers whose literary adventures inspired many

Deadheads' own on-the-road journeys, to now, when Deadheads swap

tapes and tales around the virtual campfires of Deadhead

cyberspace.

1995 marks the 30th year of the Dead's experiment in

improvisational telepathy.Skeleton Key is the first detailed road

map of the culture and lifeways of Deadheads, featuring interviews

with hundreds of fans and family, including Elvis Costello and Bill

Walton, and thoughts on the music and community by people like Dead

lyricist Robert Hunter, mythographer Joseph Campbell, and Grateful

Dead Hour host David Gans.

Skeleton Key features a foreword by John Perry Barlow, Dead

lyricist and co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.The

psychedelic lettering on the cover is by Alton Kelley, one of the

original San Francisco poster artists, who also designed the covers

for the Dead albums American Beauty and Europe '72.The icon on the

cover of Skeleton Key is a 200-year-old Tibetan thangka used for

meditation, of skeletons dancing in a cloud of fire, an image of

enlightened consciousness awakening even in the midst of

death.

We hope that whether you are a committed Deadhead, or just a

curious Websurfer, you'll poke around this site and get a taste of

the beauty, joy, humor, and mystery of Deadhead life.Feel free to

pop on a tape and make yourself comfortable as the first notes sing

your blues away, and you enter the Skeleton Zone...

A Word from the Authors

Since the publication of Skeleton Key last fall, Steve and I have

been overwhelmed and overjoyed by the nice reviews from fellow

Deadheads and from the press. To me, the best compliments have been

along the lines of, "I can't wait to show this to my Pop - now

maybe he'll understand!"I wanted to help articulate why we all love

this music so much, and report to the world about the generous

spirit of the community which has formed around it.If you haven't

yet, I hope you'll get a chance to check out the entire book

sometime soon.We'd love to hear what you think.Drop us a line at

Skeleton1@aol.com.

Howdy folks!After spending 20 years of my life dancing happily in

the Phil Zone at Dead shows, I'm deeply thankful I was given the

chance to offer something back to the community which has given me

more joy and meaning than any other:a deep picture of our extended

family.I hope you enjoy it, and you may learn a few things along

the way, whether you're an old-time tourhead or a newbie who just

got on the bus.Be well. See you in the Zone! - Steve
