| Grateful Dead – Estimated Prophet Lyrics | 15 years ago |

According to Weir while on the road they would skip through the Bibles that were in hotel rooms. One night Garcia called Weir and told him to check out the books of Ezekiel and Daniel, they thought it was a reference to aliens visiting earth and other interesting strange things, so the song was wrote about that and people that would meet them after shows and share their spaced out trip experiences. Some of these people were so persistent it got annoying, so part of what Weir is singing is "I have heard it all before so please keep your mouth shut" There's a book about what each dead song means but I can't remember the name, that is my source for info, as well as interviews. |
