Dark Stars & Anti-Matter: 40 Years of Loving, Leaving and Making Up with the Music of the Grateful Dead

By Gene Sculatti

Dark Stars & Anti-Matter: 40 Years of Loving, Leaving and Making Up with the Music of the Grateful Dead is a memoir about growing up, music-obsessed, in the Bay Area in the Sixties, about growing older in the world ever since and ceaselessly connecting and reconnecting with American pop. The piece is personal and frank, and should strike a chord with anyone who’s ever fallen hard for what their ears took in.
