Grateful Dead, ungrateful recipients - 06/13/2008 - MiamiHerald.com: "The University of California, Santa Cruz recently landed one of the great prizes in college fundraising: a treasure trove of Grateful Dead memorabilia. The collection spans 30 years, from 1965 when the band was formed, to 1995, when Jerry Garcia, the band's lead guitarist, vocalist and spiritual leader, died.
The gift, as the Wall Street Journal noted, is expected by many to turn the Silicon Valley campus into 'a mecca for scholars and . . . `Deadhead' fans.'' And, of course, it should generate additional contributions."
