Thread Name: Origin: Deadheads and Suckers
Subject: RE: 'Deadheads and suckers' History
Over 35 years ago I heard Art Rosenbaum and Allan Block sing this at a concert in CT; it made an impression (had never heard of Crockett or Fields Ward or Wade Ward at the time!) and Art said "I dedicate this song to my landlord." Definitely preceded the Grateful Dead, just as Joyce had little or no influence on Shakespeare.
