A peace-and-love movement that began with itinerants living hand to mouth at the fringes of society and referring to one another as brother and sister continues to flourish decades after the death of its leader. This book explores the ways in which that description applies equally well to the early days of the Jesus movement, as recorded in Scripture, and to the current stage of the Deadhead movement, which, with the recent successful tours by Dead and Company, is as robust as ever, thirty years after the last concert by the Grateful Dead. This book is about the common attributes of Deadheads; it is not about the music they love nor the band that created that music. Its purpose is to invite people of faith to judge whether something of the same divine Spirit that animated the early Church is at work today among the Deadheads.
