Ronald McDonald is such a good clown name. You wouldn't have thought of it. You would have given him something obvious like Bloopers McBurger, the name of a clown. They gave him the name of a man.

In the episode I mentioned a letter I wrote to Garth Hudson in 2022 (at the encouragement of @harryhew.bsky.social) when he was in the hospital. Kind of sums up how I feel about the man.

There is only one extant show from this day in Dead history, and it includes a sweet LL Rain, Candyman, and Stagger Lee in the first set. The second half is highlighted by a rocking Scarlet which finally gives way to a relentless, searching Fire. Enjoy it all! gratefuldeadoftheday.com/12-22-1978

Apropos of absolutely nothing, a good holiday watch this year would be the Station Eleven miniseries (on Max in the States). Moving and surprisingly life-affirming, I promise it’s not just about a deadly pandemic.
