Description

Send us a textEpisode 10: The Grateful Dead: Psychedelics, Spies, and Strange TheoriesWhat if the Grateful Dead weren’t just a band? What if the tie-dye, the endless jams, and the devoted Deadhead culture were all tangled up with CIA experiments, LSD-fueled “Acid Tests,” and secret deals with the Hells Angels?In this episode of Don’t Quote Me… It’s Probably Nothing, Kelli peels back the psychedelic curtain on one of the most beloved (and bizarre) bands in American history. From MKUltra conspiracies and the Wall of Sound to dancing bears, skeleton roses, and the nomadic Deadhead tribe, we’ll explore why the Dead became more than music — they became a movement, a myth, and maybe even a cosmic experiment gone sideways.Plus, hear hilarious fan stories from Reddit, and my song of the week — a gorgeous cover of “Box of Rain” by Reno Bo (aka my favorite Dead song).Tune in, trip out, and remember: don’t quote me… it’s probably nothing.Support the show
