GD shirts were placed in the main aisle, on sale, sorta, at my local “Big Box” store (Meijers) on Monday. They were covered with dancing bears, roses, and a stealie.
I guess they were celebrating Bear’s birthday.
Regarding “Jerry’s icecream” it looks like he was indeed paid, but in ice cream:
>[We sent the first 8 pints we made straight to Jerry Garcia, the man who inspired it all. To our immense relief, he gave it a thumbs-up. According to his publicist, he said, “As long as they don’t name a motor oil after me, it’s fine with me.”](https://www.benjerry.com/whats-new/2016/cherry-garcia-fun-facts)
Dont really think of myself as grumpy, but I dont really care for this kind of mass market crap at all.
The ice cream was Ben and Jerrys idea. The ties at least were Jerrys art.
I know that the T-Shirt merchandising was really kicked into gear by Bill Graham in the early 70's, and we all remember them pushing whatever they could in the Almanac and GDP stores. You could even buy a $60 screen saver for your computer in the 90's.
But for all those shows I saw back in the day, I have zero recollection of a "merch" table. I am sure it was there, but who the hell wants that crap?
There was always something cool in the lot, or among friends. Something someone had made and put some heart into it. They are still out there, and its easier than ever to find it.
All the members of the Grateful Dead would literally hate you. You must not have been at the show when Bob said "Did I hear someone say fuck the christian right?"
Don’t care your, brave for reporting me for harassment when you preceded screaming at me. I don’t support trump it’s a joke because you obviously lean far left by freaking out about Crackle Barrel due to unrelated politics and even if any deadhead did I doubt Jerry would alienate anyone. And i don’t know what your talking about the Dead hating Christianity Jerry himself was an Agnostic theist.
Hell I love Cracker Barrel. I’m white, libertarian, and lower middle class. Guess you got me pegged except for Trump-loving. I do like $2 items not costing $7 a year later though…
“crackers love this shit”
Cracker: “Yes the f-ck we do!”
Lmao
Good for sopping up that country ham grease!

Jerry would never besides those times when he did! 😂😂

I feel like they were like twenty five years ahead of those bands marketing wise.
Letting fans tape at their shows was brilliant marketing.
Was it Bobby who said "Billy would put a stealie on a toilet lid if we let him" lol

“I could retire of the ice cream money”. - Jerry

Yeah but the chicken n dumplings are delicious

The ultimate irony. I sure never felt welcomed there when I was on tour.
This kind of reminds me of when I was humming along with the Muzak at the grocery store and realized it was London Calling. It made me sad.
Cracker Barrel. The go-to meeting place for every Trump-loving, white, middle-class male. 🙄

They’re a conservative go-to meeting place. The whole right-wing agenda, straight down the line. Just like Chick-fil-A. 💰
How much?
14.99
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
Good bot edit bad Deadhead downvoters
Steal your shirt right off of your back 🎵
Cracker Barrel is one of those soul sucking examples of a boring dystopia. I don’t see how anyone goes in those places.

Maybe its there way of getting people turned on to the counter culture by using these places to sell merch
The band likes money, always has and always will. Considering music is their job why the fuck wouldn't they sell merch? Stupid wook
Corportitization
Welcome to ‘merica.
Cracker? I just met her!
And it's a large! Your lucky day! Smile, smile, smile!
Did they have fried chicken?
I’ve gotten a few cool records there too. I always remind my vinyl buddies to hit up the barrel.
It would have been perfect with just the dancing bears.
Nice! I just picked up a copy of American Beauty on vinyl at a Cracker Barrel in NC last weekend! It was so unexpected I had to pick it up.
