GRATEFUL DEAD MAY LIVE AGAIN FOR OBAMA: Surviving members of 60s group consider reuniting for another fundraiser.
*Sen. Barack Obama has been praised for many things during the campaign season, among them offering hope and inspiration to millions of Americans, galvanizing the nation's youth, and yes, even raising The Dead.
In February, Grateful Dead's surviving members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart reunited for an Obama fundraiser in San Francisco, and Hart says it could happen again in the coming months.
"We're not making plans, but I think we stand at the ready to be of service," Hart told Billboard.com. "We're all deeply into this, into Barack Obama and the thought of taking this country back in some shape or form, what's left of it -- it's probably one thing we can all agree on! So, you bet, I would spend a night with my brothers for that any time, any place."
Hart said he's been exchanging "a few friendly e-mails" with other Dead members about doing something more for the campaign. The group officially parted ways following the 1995 death of frontman Jerry Garcia.
