i've never been much of a deadhead... but i've gotst say that i think "american beauty" is one of the finest albums ever made.  beautiful lyrics like "attics of my life" or "ripple"-- there's a serious amount of prayerful eloquence. i never gave either of these songs much thought beyond being nice little happy- hippy tunes until i went to learn the lyrics. then i saw this:     robert hunter ............wow man
