Merriam - Webster Word of the day * ‘Deadhead’ *
[size=31]‘Deadhead’[/size]
Deadhead saw a rise in lookups following the death of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh at the age of 84.We define several senses of the noun deadhead, including “one who has not paid for a ticket,” “a partially submerged log,” and “a faded blossom on a flowering plant.” The sense in question, capitalized as Deadhead, refers to a devoted fan of the rock group Grateful Dead.Lesh wrote (with Robert Hunter) and sang lead on one of the Dead’s finest existential benedictions, “Box of Rain.” Another Lesh song rightly beloved by Deadheads is “Unbroken Chain,” which he wrote with his friend Bobby Petersen. It begins in folky contemplation, but unfolds with [size=19]musicianly surprises: unexpected meter shifts, jazzy interludes and shivery electronic tones. Lesh sings thoughtfully about solitude, natural beauty and the idea that “forgiveness is the key to every door.”
