From San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury to Woodstock to their record breaking concerts in their last ten years, the Dead had a radical message and created a bohemian community that lasts through today. In our latest, we talk with former Los Angeles times journalist and author of “Here Beside the Rising Tide: Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, and an American Awakening" Jim Newton (@newton_jim) about the political and cultural legacy of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead. We talk about the Merry Pranksters, the music, the Dead vs. Ronald Reagan in the 1960s and the 1980s (when the Dead championed AIDs and rainforest advocacy), Tucker Carlson, Phish, Burning Man and that Scott was a secret Deadhead in his youth.

The U.S. and Israel have attacked Iran and killing some of the Islamic Republic's top leaders, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has responded with attacks on Israel, U.S. bases in the Gulf Region, oil infrastructure and by closing the Strait of Hormuz. There is a long history of Iranian and U.S. relations and this war is another part of it.

Russia invade Ukraine four years ago and has resulted in a bloody conflict that has bled both countries and scrambled global politics. Donald Trump campaigned in 2016 on a platform of ending America's "forever wars" and in 2024, he and J.D. Vance said they were the "most pro-peace" campaign in history. We now know neither of those things are true as Trump attacked the Islamic Republic with Israel sparking a quickly escalating war that will last many years. In our latest, we talk about the recent history of forever wars and how Ukraine and Iran are the latest in these never ending conflicts. -------------------------🎸 Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody🔗 Links🌐 G&R: Deep Background on Ukraine and Russia (https://bit.ly/4bwEyxx)🌐 G&R: Trump’s Aggression Against Iran Continues, w/ Professor Eskandar Sadeghi (https://bit.ly/4tW5he0)🎙️ Follow Green and Red🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 Website: https://greenandredpodcast.org💬 Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/uuP6yVQr📰 Follow us on Substack: https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com🌌 Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast🎉 Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast☕ One-time donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR🌍 Our Networks🎧 Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork📻 Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org🎬 A Green and Red Podcast production👨‍🏫 Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)✂️ Edited by Scott🔔 Subscribe for more analysis on U.S. politics, leftist strategy, and anti-establishment resistance.
