Dennis McNally is former publicist of for the Grateful Dead, a dream job if there ever was one. He has written several books inluding On Highway 61: Music, Race, and the Evolution of Cultural Freedom, Jerry on Jerry: the Unpublished Jerry Garcia Interviews and A Long Strange Trip: the Inside History of the Grateful Dead.

Today we discussed life in quarantine, Jerry’s healthy relationship with Bluegrass and his unhealthy relationship with the gym. Dennis even tells a great Donna Jean story. Enjoy!

This is the second time Dennis has appeared on the show. The song you heard at the during the interview was “Trouble in Mind” by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garica. It comes off the collection Before the Dead.
