Lucky Bobby
by thoughtsonthedead
Today, Bobby apologized for beating that lady and leaving it out of his semi-biographical movie.
This is, of course, just silliness. The truth is so much better: the lady Bobby is pretending to punch is named Felicity Seidel, who apparently dated Bobby in the 80’s and has now written a play about it. You can read more about the play, entitled Lucky Chick, here.
TotD is launching a Kickstarter to get Ms. Seidel to perform the piece South Florida, more specifically in my home. Or, she could just send a video. Script would be okay, I guess.
I NEED TO SEE THIS.
Settle down, Beavis.
Ex-girlfriend stories about Bobby! Ex-girlfriend stories are always fun, and Bobby stories are always fun: this should be twice as much fun.
Good math.
Thank you.
…
I kinda don’t wanna know what Ginsberg is looking for.
Well, he’s not making a pass at Ms. Seidel.
No.
Thoughts on the Dead 
Follow her on twitter and see what happens
also when did Bobby start dating his wife?
this is just
wow she is so PRETTY?????? HOW OLD WAS SHE WHEN THEY DATED THIS IS WEIRD
moondog’s makin’ a play here with bobby cock-blocking. ginsy’s like “ohhmm, my dear elise cowen or joan vollmer you are not”
whoaaaaaaa! WWF. a battle royale tilt cousin junior v moondog the drummer. cage match.
That is a great photo. Every person’s face is telling a story. hahaha
“She is plucked from the crowd of a Grateful Dead show by Bob Weir and the chance meeting is the start of what becomes an incredible ten-year romance.
Throughout her relationship with Weir, Felicity finds herself in the most unimaginable situations – touring with the legendar Grateful Dead, encounters with the Hells Angels, and exploits with an angry drug-kingpin (on-the-side) boyfriend. Hers is a raucous story of drugs, sex and overall craziness that most people don’t even imagine let alone get to experience.”
dude…you have got to see if you can get an interview with her
you’re media now, right?
Yes. I am media. I am totally media.
Okay, here’s what I see wrong with this. (I’m sure y’all don’t want to hear my two cents, but I’m going to say it anyway, because fuck it.)
I AM JEALOUS. Who doesn’t want to be personally picked out by a gorgeous older rock star of one of the coolest bands to ever exist? I bet it was pretty damn fun for both of them.
I know for sure that I wouldn’t have been picked out. Not that it should matter, because of what I’m about to say next.
Why the fuck did they take so much interest in teenage girls? It’s something I’ll never understand. I KNOW teenage girls are hot and I get that a lot of it’s got to do with the fact that teenage girls are inexperienced and a lot of them have very low self-esteem and have felt this way for all of history, but these men were (hopefully?) grown enough to realize that it’s probably not served a ton of these girls well in their later lives. Teenage girls have no idea what’s going on and will go to drastic measures for approval, but I don’t think that they should have been gaining it through dating guys like Weir. What would you guys think if I ran off with some guy in a few years who was nearing his 40’s or 50’s that I met at a concert? It’s fucked up, right? I don’t know. I know it totally doesn’t happen like this much nowadays, but it’s been going on for centuries. Can’t you just date hot chicks your own age with compatible intelligence?
I know this was how things were and that none of you would condone it in real life but I JUST HAD 2 SAY IT. NO APOLOGIES #NOTALLCOMMENTATORS
lol why am i even here
stay
i dont know
I hope Maggie comes back.
She reminded me of a smarter young me. The young me I wished I was. Finding the dead and everything in the early 80’s late 70’s and being so psyched that the thing I had read about was still alive, still living breathing and touring.
If I was too sassy as an old man here in the comments, I meant no harm.
She was and hopefully will return to be the heart and soul of the self aware comments section.
As for the whole teen banging Bobby thing, yeah it is fucked up.
Easy to laugh about, somewhat harder to think about.
We are dinosaurs, but we are the slow moving, plant eating kind. Come back Maggs, place won’t be the same without you.
Spencer, that made my day. you’re all sweethearts. I’ve no doubt about that. And I really like being your friend. 🙂 Everyone plays a part here in making the comments section self-aware and it’s awesome.
Tor, you’re too kind too, friend. Blushing right now, not going to lie. It’s not your fault. You keep doing you. 🙂
The teen bangin’ thing is what set me off yesterday. I’m obviously going to be a lot more responsive and hotheaded about such things as that. Don’t you worry.
Its probably worth noting that the age of consent in Alaska is 16.
Just saying…..
PISS OFF
I’ll be 16 on Friday. Should I move to Alaska and kick somebody’s ass instead?
Can’t you just date hot chick’s your own age and intelligence?http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/wcfcourier.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/8/55/85557488-7750-11e1-8849-001871e3ce6c/4f707e183d6a4.preview-620.jpg
Who is this?
Deborah koons
Didn’t recognize her.
Are you holding up Garcia as a model for relationships? Interesting angle.
Looks like Deborah Koons?
Oh dear where is this argument against teen banging going? The dark choice between being evil or dating evil..
Symphony of the Soiled
Men fear death.
That was for Maggie’s question. Ended up down here, for some reason.
I enjoyed it as a non sequitur.
Can you hashtag that please..

She was 15 when it started with Bobby.
The Bobby stuff starts at 4:00 goes till 6:00 maybe more later.
There are seven people in that audience.
She is listed as an inventor on a meyer sound patent ?

Her bio says she’s got a degree in physics.
Her voice…….captivating
Where is in my NERRRD gif? I’ll even take a still image at this point.
Sorry, I’m slipping.
Composed by the Robert De Niro lookin guy beside Bobby
Wut?
Im not defending or accusing anybody, just trying to figure out the story.
She says they met in Alaska.
The Dead played an Anchorage Alaska high school auditorium for three straight days in 1980.
If the age of consent was 16 at the time, then half the high school could have slept with the band.
WAY late to the thread, but I can provide context for the picture, as I was mere feet away when it was taken. It was at an opening night gala for the New Music America Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1969, which explains the presence of Moondog and Steve Reich, who both were featured composers during the festival. Ginsberg and Weir were, I recall, part of some kind of honorary host committee for the gala.
Sorry, I meant to type 1989, not ’69!
