| The mystery of why I have a Grateful Dead sticker on the back of my Cherokee goes back to my first car. When I was sixteen my Great Uncle Cliff sold me a 1972 Datsun Pickup. It wasn't a very nice truck, but it ran like a trooper. I completely neglected this truck but it always came through. There was a sticker on the back windshield that I liked. At the time I didn't know it was a Grateful Dead sticker, I just liked the skull motiff. Later in life I bought a 1970 CJ5 with a V-6 engine. In the center top of the windshield was a skull with roses sticker. I later learned that it was Grateful Dead sticker. While rebuilding my Jeeps engine a year later, I was given a 1975 Opal Manta. Quite Possibly the ugliest car on the planet. On the rear windshield, you guessed it, was the dancing bears Grateful Dead sticker. Since every vehichle I have owned seems to come with a Grateful Dead sticker I felt that in order to call this Jeep mine, I needed to put a sticker on her too. The funny thing is I don't even listen to the Grateful Dead. |
