I recently found a couple of Al's Dead related videos on youtube. Personally I wouldn't have thought of him to be a Deadhead.

There are a few more vids I have on my page from this night. One with Bill Murray and Paul Schaffer and the other is an interview with rock promoter Bill Graham.

I'm sure Al was connected through his SNL cast members. It's interesting to see his interest in politics is alive and well at this point in his life. That's what made SNL special in the early days. Franken's writing also helped to keep the show afloat through the 80s and early 90s.
