This song is absolutely wonderful and hilarious!!! if anyone can provide some insight on "the Grateful Dead" allusion, i'd be nice.

at that time the grateful dead were a broke struggling band while the cowsills were multi millionairs estamated between 10-30 million.sorry for the misspelling.PS.on you tube there is a clip where he gets to that verse then stops and says 'that's before,you know"meaning before the deadhead following.something like that.
