The Legacy of the Grateful Dead???

The interviewer asked me, "what is the Grateful Dead's legacy?" And I gave a simple honest answer last April , "it's still being created ... They got so much going on still. Plus people are still interpreting the music and iconic pop worth that has influenced & still influences the fabric of our cultural tapestry." That didn't make it in this clip:

Headline News: from These Americana Blues in 2005 to TheNewEverydayMedia.com in 2015

at this point in 2005 writing the poems for "These Americana Blues" for MyStrawHat and TheNewEverydayMedia was when I started formulating the BIGnewEverydayMedia concept into real life, real time = this poem "Headline News" http://mystrawhat.com/American/Head.htm gave birth to my next "everyday" ‪#‎everyday‬ projects and then to "new media" ‪#‎newmedia‬ projects and then to "everyday new media" ‪#‎everydaynewmedia‬ (and a decade ago bought the domain name TheNewEveryDayMedia.com to use with mystrawhat.com)

Headline News 
it was the worst flood in the city's history
a devastating act of mother nature
and he couldn't cover it
 
he was stuck.
roads were shut down.
- flashing lights; no answers
 
"keep it moving!"
a block away and on this very day
a cult leader had 22 babies -
he claimed he was about to kill
if he didn't get his way.
the fanatical leader felt he needed to
decree that all cell phones be smashed
- as they were jamming his transmission -
he couldn't reach the mother ship and
holding the babies for captive was 
all he could - all he could to focus
 
the 33 year old newscaster sniffed it out
as he was a block or two away 
and was on the scene in no time
- there to capture this live.
 
and it was the flood of biblical proportions
and one of the fanatical spaceship cults
which occupied my headline news
- live from today - these americana blues
