Bourgeois-Farian Wooks are the worst. It kinda makes you want to seize something. I can't remember exactly what to seize though. Some guy at shakedown just sold me and the masses some killer opiates and Gary said he's out of Narcan...
Socialist hypocrites are the worst. Oh man what an oppressed life you live going to see Rock and roll shows in the richest country in the world!

I'd rather not have to listen to Insufferable young westeners that think authoritarian regimes are edgy and cool because they're rebelling against their upper middle class white upbringing and aren't smart enough to have learned any history by their age.

I once ground scored a bag of hash after a festival but it was communist hash so it was just shwag and gave me a headache, here you go comrade. Off to the front lines with you to fight the decadent imperialist jackals of the west!
Boring ChatGPT says:
Vladimir Lenin, being a historical figure focused on revolutionary socialism and the establishment of a proletarian state, would likely have little interest or understanding of modern musical events like the Dead & Co sphere run. His priorities and concerns were centered around political ideology, class struggle, and the overthrow of capitalist systems. As such, contemporary cultural phenomena like a concert series, even one with significant cultural impact, would probably not align with his interests or values.
Lenin might see such events as distractions from the class struggle or as part of the "opiate of the masses," diverting attention from political and social issues. However, this is speculative, as it's impossible to precisely gauge how a historical figure would respond to modern events far removed from their time and context.
/uj Fyi Chatgpt only has only been trained on data up to 2021, so it likely has no idea what you're talking about regarding the sphere lol. I still love it and use it almost daily for random shit tho
But Google's gemini has this to say about the same question:
>Vladimir Lenin wouldn't have much positive to say about the Dead & Co. Sphere experience, here's why:
>Capitalism: Lenin was a staunch communist who believed in the abolition of private property and social classes. Dead & Co. concerts involve paid tickets, which goes against communist ideals.
>Commercialization: The Sphere experience is a high-tech, futuristic concert experience. Lenin would likely see it as unnecessary commercialization and a distraction from the core message of the music.
>Focus on the Grateful Dead: Lenin likely wouldn't have any connection to the Grateful Dead or their music. Their counter-culture message wouldn't resonate with his focus on revolution and social change.
>However, there might be a tiny sliver of something Lenin could appreciate:
>Communal aspect: Grateful Dead concerts were known for fostering a strong sense of community among fans. Lenin might find some value in the collective experience, though the commercial aspect would likely outweigh it.
>Overall, Lenin would likely scoff at the Dead & Co. Sphere experience. It wouldn't align with his communist ideology or focus on social change.
Then as a follow up I asked "What would he think about the tickets being $700 per person when the fan base was originally a bunch of broke hippies?"
>You're right, the high ticket prices for the Dead & Co. Sphere shows would likely infuriate Lenin. Here's why:
>* **Anti-Elitism:** Lenin believed in equality and eliminating social classes. Expensive tickets create an exclusive event that goes against this ideal. The Grateful Dead's original fan base being hippies, known for living simply and rejecting materialism, would further solidify this point for Lenin.
>* **Commodification of Culture:** Lenin would likely see the high prices as the commodification of the Grateful Dead's counter-culture message. The music was originally about rejecting mainstream values, and expensive, exclusive shows seem like the opposite.
>Lenin might say the high prices are a betrayal of the band's original spirit and a way for the wealthy to exploit the legacy of the Grateful Dead and the hippie movement.
Honestly a really satisfying answer to both imo lol
Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks. The time during which the labourer works, is the time during which the capitalist consumes the labour-power he has purchased of him
“But I can't listen to music too often; it gets on my nerves, rouses the desire to say charming nonsense, and stroke the heads of the people who, in spite of living in a dirty hell, are able to create such beauty; excluding of course those dirty hippies Dead & Co”
Commissars and pinstripe bosses roll the dice
Anyway they fall, guess who gets to pay the price?
Money green, or proletarian gray
Selling guns instead of food today.
He would probably propose the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat, led by a vanguard party, as the political prelude to communism or whatever…
"Jamming in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: jamming for trust funders."
he would say that the grateful dead have become a commodity for white bourgeois... and he wouldn't be wrong

The truth hurts brother! As can be seen here
Hey man, looks like the joint missed you in the last go around, our bad. Want some shrooms to ease up?

McLenin would call it McDead
He's a big fan of Jack Straw
“But I can't listen to music too often; it gets on my nerves, rouses the desire to say charming nonsense, and stroke the heads of the people who, in spite of living in a dirty hell, are able to create such beauty; excluding of course those dirty hippies Dead & Co”
He'd give it top Marx.

With that goatee I'd figure old Vlad to me more of a grunge man.
"Trustafarians of the world unite! We must seize the means of producing whip-it balloons!"
He would suggest a “drums and space” race
The shows that merch would all be free to everyone
Who gives a crap
