"[F]or many Deadheads, the band was a medium that facilitated experiencing other planes of consciousness and tapping into deep, spiritual wells that were usually the province of organized religion ..." -- Blair Jackson, qtd, in Wikipedia, s.v. “Deadhead”
The Grateful Dead inspired a cult,
Which led, in turn, to this result;
A group of eager fans arose
Who followed them for many shows,
Where every show would guarantee a
Drug-fueled solo by Garcia,
Which, filtered through their spinning med heads,
Was like Nirvana to the Deadheads.

Benedetto Marcello (24 or 31 July or 1 August 1686 – 24 or 25 July 1739) was an Italian composer, writer, advocate, magistrate, and teacher.
Brothers
Benedetto Marcello could claim
A brother of musical fame,
But if these two dudes
Had musical feuds,
Their music’s exactly the same.
