p2pnet news Politics:- The Dead will Rise for Barack Obama.

Or a least three of them will.

Grateful Dead surviving members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart will reunite for a February fundraiser in San Francisco, says Billboard, quoting Hart as stating:

“We’re not making plans, but I think we stand at the ready to be of service. We’re all deeply into this, into Barack Obama and the thought of taking this country back in some shape or form, what’s left of it - it’s probably one thing we can all agree on!

” So, you bet, I would spend a night with my brothers for that any time, any place.”

Hart says that he and the other Dead alumni have exchanged “a few friendly e-mails” about doing something more for the campaign, but no firm details have been set,” says the story.

EFF co-founder and ex-Dead lyricist John Perry Barlow wasn’t among them.

“This is worse than the RIAA suing their customers.”

That was Barlow back in 2005 when he learned Archive.org had been forced to take down more than 1,000 soundboard recordings of the Grateful Dead, “by Jerry’s wife and a few (perhaps one) remaining member of the band,” Jerry being the late Jerry Garcia
