The financial world snapped to attention in June 2023, when someone snapped a blurry picture of a man who fit Powell’s description – think of a sharply dressed high-school math teacher in the Eisenhower era – at a Dead & Company show in Virginia.

Upon subsequent questioning, Powell revealed that he is a lifelong fan of the Grateful Dead.

“I saw them a bunch of times,” Powell told an audience at a recent journalism conference. “I know every note on every song from that era.”

By “that era,” Powell referred to the classic Dead years of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Among Dead albums, Powell avowed a preference for the 1970 masterpiece “American Beauty” to the weaker late-‘70s entry, “Terrapin Station.” He chided his questioner for posing a choice between two records of such divergent quality.

Powell's not wrong on his preferred album. I'm a Workingman's Dead booster myself. Terrapin, Blues for Allah: blegh.
