The original reason to get into porn was it seemed like a much easier way to pay for following the Grateful Dead than making tie-dyes and selling sandwiches.

Go ahead - I know what you are all thinking - So what if I am a dirty damn hippy? I got to see the best parking lots in the country and I learned some very valuable lessons that have served us well in business - regarding grassroots marketing and community branding. The Dead were making money with "free" content for years and growing their legion of fans. Plus I borrowed a line that promoter bill graham used to say of the Dead, "They aren't the best at what they do, they are the only ones who do what they do".
