Bill WaltonI went to my first show [of the Grateful Dead], got right up front and never left. The incredible excitement, the family, the spirit, the hope, the happiness, all the different things I love and live for in life are there.

No band has ever inspired a more loyal following and I'm involved in all of that stuff.
