One of the issues that individuals typically discover stunning about me is that I take pleasure in listening to and watching outdated Grateful Dead exhibits. One of my all-time favorites is this October 31, 1980 efficiency of Ripple. I used to be watching it for concerning the hundredth time final week once I was struck by the pictures that seem from concerning the 1:26 mark to the 1:36 mark. In that body we see a younger couple (I’d guess their age to be mid-20’s) swaying with their arms round one another. I started to marvel about them. My questioning ideas may very well be the start of some writing prompts.
Here’s what I questioned about that couple:
- Did they meet that evening?
- What have been they excited about one another?
- Did they proceed to comply with the Dead?
- Did they develop up collectively, get married, and have youngsters?
- If they’d youngsters, did they take them to any Grateful Dead exhibits?
- Are they nonetheless alive?
- Were they as joyful as I believe they’re in that scene?
Of course, you’ll be able to play this “what if? what occurred?” sport with any image or video clip of a few folks. I simply selected this one as a result of it stands out to me and it gave me an excuse to put in writing about one in all my favourite Grateful songs.
