I thought he was expressing compassion and a desire for peace. I also thought of the Festival Express comparison. People expected those shows to be free. The guys footing the bill for the tour were "the Man" and deserved no filthy lucre to replenish what they had outlaid. This is the economic theory of the parasite.

It's not easy to try and make stuff up as you go along (and it can result in serious backlash), but that is the truth to the world in which we live in. It just is--it's just unfortunate that Bob is so self-confident that he thinks he can be an asshole about it. I guess it’s hard to know–I mean, I can relate to Bob on this (slightly) regarding having rules where no rules existed before.

That image of an angered-to-the-point-of-being-redfaced Weir for me was - after the Danko freakout/jam session - the most surprising scene from the film. As a fan of the band for nearly 20 years now, my view of "Bob Weir: Elder Hippie Statesman" has been blown out of the water by the Festival Express tirade 35 years ago, as well his current archive.org stance. I had always assumed that because of his environmental work, his leadership of the crusade against Ticketmaster, and, well, his beard, too, that he was a voice you could always count on to be raised for "us." But well....I guess this is what happens when Ratdog ticket sales start to get a little sluggish, huh?
