Dead & Company’s last stand: Is the Bay Area band’s legacy built to last?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:07:34 GMT

The Grateful Dead’s legacy is carved in stone.The legendary outfit — which formed in 1965 in Palo Alto — will always be remembered as one of the most influential and important bands in rock ‘n’ roll history.It helped define a specific era of music — ‘60s psychedelic rock — yet the group also continued to win over new fans during its entire 30-year run.Now, more than 25 years after the band called it quits following the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995, the Grateful Dead’s music remains as popular as ever.So, really, there’s not much point in discussing whether the group has earned its spot in the pantheon of music greats, alongside the likes of Chuck Berry, Aretha Franklin and R.E.M. That case was closed when the Grateful Dead was rightfully inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.What is up for debate, however, is the lasting significance of the band’s best-known offshoot.In other words, what will be the legacy of Dead & Company?With the group ...

By Chris Megerian, Seung Min Kim and Karl Ritter | Associated PressVILNIUS, Lithuania — NATO leaders agreed Tuesday to allow Ukraine to join “when allies agree and conditions are met,” hours after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blasted the organization’s failure to set a timetable for his country as “absurd.”“We reaffirmed Ukraine will become a member of NATO and agreed to remove the requirement for a membership action plan,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters, referring to a key step in joining the alliance.“This will change Ukraine’s membership path from a two-step path to a one-step path,” he said.Although many NATO members have funneled arms and ammunition to Zelenskyy’s forces, there is no consensus among the 31 allies for admitting Ukraine into NATO’s ranks. Instead, the alliance leaders decided to remove obstacles on Ukraine’s membership path so that it can join more quickly once ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:07:34 GMT

By Lisa Rathke and John Minchillo | Associated PressANDOVER, Vt. — A storm that dumped up to two months of rain in two days in Vermont and other parts of the Northeast brought more flooding Tuesday to communities marooned by water, including the state capital, where a dam just upstream was threatening to overflow.The flooding has already caused tens of millions of dollars in damage, officials said, with more to come: If water pours over the dam on the Winooski River that flows through Montpelier, it could surge through downtown blocks where the floods were already waist-high.“Floodwaters continue to rise in some places, like our capital city, and have surpassed the levels seen during Tropical Storm Irene,” Vermont Gov. Phil Scott said. Irene killed six people in Vermont in August 2011, washing homes off their foundations and damaging or destroying more than 200 bridges and 500 miles (805 kilometers) of highway.The sun was out Tuesday and more sunshine was expected Wednes...
