This reboot is features a controversial topic within Lost Beat 6. The Grateful Dead. Known amongst most as the ultimate standard-bearer for the psychedelic jam band, the Dead have been called a number of epithets and have blended into various subgenres of rock music some have made them famous, others notorious. However one genre they have never been associated with is progressive rock. This category has been reserved for the acts that had developed out of the British psychedelia movements of the late Sixties. It the opinion of this writer and podcast host that not only are The Grateful Dead a progressive rock band, but the greatest of the American progressives. Such a bold stance behooves this case to be brought before the committe of a dude named Sean.

We discuss what are the tenants of British progressive rock and how that applies to the Dead's own creative universe.

We are starting up another edition of Making The Scene. The focus this time is on the Beat Generation as we take a present day perspective on what the Beats did as well as the movements that followed in their wake.

The first of this recurring series will be with historian and writer Dennis McNally. Dennis is probably most well known for his work as the biographer and publicist for the Grateful Dead. You can see him prominently featured in the six part documentary series Long Strange Trip which is based on McNally’s book of the same name. Prior to his tenure working for The Dead, Dennis wrote one of the earliest biographies on Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation titled Desolate Angel, which was influential in establishing his relationship with Jerry Garcia. His chronicling of both the Beats and Grateful Dead allows Dennis with the unique perspective to help us examine the cultural foundations to which these scenes could develop. Which is why he is our first guest to help us dive in to our exploration and celebration of the Beat Generation.

In this conversation, Stephen and Dennis discuss the conceptual foundations of both the Beats and countercultural movements at large, American definitions of freedom, Henry David Thoreau, and leadership qualities found in reluctant or egoless leaders. Much of this conversation covers material from his most recent publication, On Highway 61: Music, Race and the Evolution of Cultural Freedom.
