The Grateful Dead toasts its 60th with concerts at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Fans of the Grateful Dead are pouring into San Francisco for three days of concerts and festivities marking the 60th anniversary of the scruffy jam band that came to embody a city where people wore flowers in their hair and made love, not war. Dead & Company, featuring original Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart, will play Golden Gate Park's Polo Field starting Friday with an estimated 60,000 attendees each day. The last time the band played that part of the park was in 1991 — a free show following the death of concert promoter and longtime Deadhead Bill Graham. A general admissions ticket for all three days is $635 — a shock for many longtime fans who remember when a joint cost more than a Dead concert ticket. But Deadhead David Aberdeen is thrilled anyway. 'This is the spiritual home of the Grateful Dead,' said Aberdeen, who works at Amoeba Music in the bohemian, flower-powered Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. 'It seems very right to me that they celebrate it in this way.' Formed in 1965, the Grateful Dead is synonymous with San Francisco and its counterculture. Members lived in a dirt-cheap Victorian in the Haight and later became a significant part of 1967's Summer of Love. That summer eventually soured into bad acid trips and police raids, and prompted the band's move to Marin County on the other end of the Golden Gate Bridge. But new Deadheads kept cropping up — even after iconic guitarist and singer Jerry Garcia 's 1995 death — aided by cover bands and offshoots like Dead & Company. 'There are 18-year-olds who were obviously not even a twinkle in somebody's eyes when Jerry died, and these 18-year-olds get the values of Deadheads,' said former Grateful Dead publicist and author Dennis McNally. Fitting in, feeling at home Deadheads can reel off why and how, and the moment they fell in love with the music. Fans love that no two shows are the same; the band plays different songs each time. They also embrace the community that comes with a Dead show. Sunshine Powers didn't have friends until age 13, when she stepped off a city bus and into the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. 'I, all of a sudden, felt like I fit in. Or like I didn't have to fit in,' says Powers, now 45 and the owner of tie-dye emporium Love on Haight. 'I don't know which one it was, but I know it was like, OK." Similarly, her friend Taylor Swope, 47, survived a tough freshman year at a new school with the help of a Grateful Dead mixtape. The owner of the Little Hippie gift shop is driving from Brooklyn, New York, to sell merchandise, reconnect with friends and see the shows. 'The sense of, 'I found my people, I didn't fit in anywhere else and then I found this, and I felt at home.' So that's a big part of it,' she said of the allure. Magical live shows Sometimes, becoming a Deadhead is a process. Thor Cromer, 60, had attended several Dead shows, but was ambivalent about the hippies. That changed on March 15, 1990, in Landover, Maryland. 'That show, whatever it was, whatever magic hit,' he said, 'it was injected right into my brain.' Cromer, who worked for the U.S. Senate then, eventually took time off to follow the band on tour and saw an estimated 400 shows from spring 1990 until Garcia's death. Cromer now works in technology and is flying in from Boston to join scores of fellow 'rail riders' who dance in the rows closest to the stage. Aberdeen, 62, saw his first Dead show in 1984. As the only person in his college group with a driver's license, he was tapped to drive a crowded VW Bug from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, to Syracuse, New York. 'I thought it was pretty weird,' he said. 'But I liked it.' He fell in love the following summer, when the Dead played a venue near his college. Aberdeen remembers rain pouring down in the middle of the show and a giant rainbow appearing over the band when they returned for their second act. They played 'Comes a Time,' a rarely played Garcia ballad. 'There is a lot of excitement, and there will be a lot of people here,' Aberdeen said. 'Who knows when we'll have an opportunity to get together like this again?' Fans were able to see Dead & Company in Las Vegas earlier this year, but no new dates have been announced. Guitarist Bob Weir is 77, and drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann are 81 and 79, respectively. Besides Garcia, founding members Ron 'Pigpen' McKernan on keyboards died in 1973 and bassist Phil Lesh died last year at age 84. Multiple events planned for Dead's 60th Mayor Daniel Lurie, who is not a Deadhead but counts 'Sugar Magnolia' as his favorite Dead song, is overjoyed at the economic boost as San Francisco recovers from pandemic-related hits to its tech and tourism sectors. 'They are the reason why so many people know and love San Francisco,' he said. The weekend features parties, shows and celebrations throughout the city. Grahame Lesh & Friends will perform three nights starting Thursday. Lesh is the son of Phil Lesh. On Friday, which would have been Garcia's 83rd birthday, officials will rename a street after the San Francisco native. On Saturday, visitors can celebrate the city's annual Jerry Day at the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater located in a park near Garcia's childhood home.

Tupac Shakur slaying suspect files appeal with Nevada Supreme Court to dismiss charges
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The man charged with ordering the 1996 killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas is asking the Nevada Supreme Court to dismiss his murder charges. Duane 'Keffe D' Davis filed an appeal with the court Tuesday after a lower court judge upheld his charges. Davis, the only man ever to be charged in Shakur's killing, was arrested in September 2023. Other conspirators in the drive-by shooting have since died. The 62-year-old has admitted in interviews and in his 2019 tell-all memoir, 'Compton Street Legend,' that he provided the gun used in the shooting. His attorney, Carl Arnold, said Davis' constitutional rights were being violated. 'Mr. Davis cooperated with law enforcement over the course of more than a decade, relying on repeated assurances that his statements would not be used against him — yet those very statements now form the core of the State's case,' Arnold said in a statement. Arnold first filed a motion to dismiss the case in January of this year, alleging constitutional violations because of a 27-year delay in prosecution. He also said Davis had immunity agreements granted to him by federal and local authorities. A district court judge upheld his charges, saying he was not protected from prosecution because he had not provided proof of those immunity deals and that the decades-long delay was not intentional. According to the appeal, Davis was interviewed in 1998 and 1999 by federal prosecutors under the agreement that his statements would not be used to prosecute him. At the time, he denied knowing who was involved in Shakur's killing. He was interviewed again in 2008 and 2009 under the same conditions that he would not be prosecuted with his statements, according to the appeal. It was then that he described his 'alleged involvement in the murder and identified the alleged shooter,' the appeal said. Arnold said prosecutors had not presented any evidence connecting Davis to the slaying other than his own statements, which is not enough for a trial. He asked the Nevada Supreme Court to grant their motion to dismiss the case, or recognize that he was granted immunity from prosecution for the statements he made during law enforcement interviews. Davis remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center. His trial is scheduled to begin in early February 2026. Shakur's death at 25 came as his fourth solo album, 'All Eyez on Me,' remained on the charts, with about 5 million copies sold. Nominated six times for a Grammy Award, Shakur is still largely considered one of the most influential and versatile rappers of all time.

Daily Horoscope for July 30, 2025
General Daily Insight for July 30, 2025 Scabs must be left alone to heal. The wounded healer Chiron enters its retrograde period in fiery Aries today, tempting us to reopen old wounds and potentially create deeper ones after a period of healing. As loving Venus enters protective Cancer at 11:57 pm EDT, we're reminded that people can't ruin what they don't know about. Only the most trusted and understanding people in our lives should be given the privilege of knowing our innermost selves. Don't risk going backward by oversharing. Aries March 21 – April 19 Your nearest and dearest have an amazing capacity to help you heal. You may have things you don't like about yourself that you're trying to change, but look around you and ask who already loves you, despite your flaws? No one is perfect! Learning how to accept yourself as you are is crucial, as you must heal before attempting to 'upgrade' yourself. There's always going to be room to grow, but for your own mental health, let others love you as you are. Taurus April 20 – May 20 Fear could be keeping you in the dark. Due to hypothetical bad reactions from others, you may be avoiding doing what's truly on your mind. This only keeps you from realizing your truth. Instead of requesting others' approval before you move forward, let them react however they choose to react after you've already taken action. Waiting for everyone to be onboard with your dreams may end up ensuring that they never come to fruition, so make your dreams happen for yourself. Gemini May 21 – June 20 Someone else could trigger memories of the past. They may not notice your sensitivity to the subject when they bring it up, while you might feel as though you're being emotionally transported into the past as they speak. It's important that you remain grounded and let them know when you're not comfortable discussing something. If they push the matter further, it's okay to move on — with or without them. The right person should understand and let it go without much effort. Cancer June 21 – July 22 Your past reputation may rear its head at any moment. You might have moved on from the past, whatever that means for you and your actions. Perhaps negative behavior meant that apologies were given and accepted on all sides. Regardless, someone may mention old issues, either out of ignorance, curiosity, or potentially malice. You're not that person anymore, even though you might have been once. You're allowed to acknowledge the past without having to embody it. Be who you are now. Leo July 23 – August 22 The grass is always greener on the road less traveled. When you don't seize an opportunity, it may linger in your mind for some time. Today, in particular, you're potentially pondering all the ideas whose time has already come and gone. Instead of picturing them as windows that will never open again, look into what you can do to bring similar energies into your current life. Wonderful chances are everywhere, even if they're not exactly the same. Don't miss them by focusing on the past. Virgo August 23 – September 22 Trusting the wrong person can leave emotional scars. You may be regretting letting the wrong person in, spiraling about the naivety in your history. The truth is, it's not on you for being trusting, it's on them for taking advantage of your faith. Continuing to have a kind heart and an open mind in the face of old wounds is the bravest thing you can do at this time. Remember, it's about who you want to be, not how other people react to you. Libra September 23 – October 22 Stepping into the spotlight on your own can be daunting. You may have thought that you were going to be taking this journey with someone else, but at some point, you'll probably have to step into your own power. Your companion might not be out of your life for good, but you could have to stand tall in their absence — something that you're completely capable of. Be strong now, so you can look back on this and remind yourself of what you're capable of. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Not everyone is going to treat you like that one person in your past. You may be looking for flaws in the people in your life, especially newcomers, in order to prevent another heartbreak. This doesn't have to have been a romantic relationship — friendships and professional connections can also cause grief. Trusting another person after being burned can be terrifying, but you'll never forge your true connections without continuing to try with an open heart. The right person will be worth the wait. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 Taking risks isn't usually something your sign is known for, Sag, but even you might be nervous around unfamiliar ideas at the moment. You might be so afraid of repeating past mistakes that you're refusing to step outside of the lines again. Instead of forcing yourself to live the same day over and over again, branch out and see what's beyond your comfort zone. Life is there to be lived! Good and bad things will impact your days either way. Take a chance. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 You might be healing childhood wounds. When you carry baggage for years, it may seem impossible to set down — that's just not true. You deserve a chance to move unburdened. This could mean that you're telling your story to someone else who can relate to you or support your healing journey. You don't have to traverse this path alone, even if you've tried to in the past. The more that you focus on healing your inner child and regaining your spark, the better. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Don't be your own worst enemy. Be wary of focusing on features that you hate about yourself, when, in reality, they may not even exist. Carrying a distorted view of yourself may lead others to share this view or even feel as though you are judging them, especially if they share the 'flaws' that you continually describe seeing in yourself. Speak with positive intentions and pay attention to how it affects you and others. It just might be the glow-up you crave! Pisces February 19 – March 20 Security doesn't always equal happiness. You might have made the safe choice recently, but it may not turn out to be exactly what you wanted. Take some time to ponder the difference between feeling protected and feeling trapped, because it can be a difficult balance at times. Don't heed the temptation to throw it all away because you're starting to feel claustrophobic! Look into how you can inject some fun and freedom into your life without going overboard. You can stay safe without stagnating.
