Take that, Grateful Dead! <br /><br />But anyway, McNally's book reports, "On July 20, most of the Dead gathered at Garcia's house, because he had a TV, and watched...the first human steps on the moon." <br /><br />Garcia's TV actually has a small place in Dead history, since it was just two months earlier that watching a late-night movie in Garcia's house inspired Robert Hunter to write Dire Wolf, which in turn kicked off the entire Workingman's Dead cycle of songs. <br /><br />But what intrigues me is the suggestion that in 1969, Garcia may have been the only Dead member who had a TV.
