From: "James B. Hofmann" (RAMD) <hofmann@AMSAA.ARPA> Two recent messages on SF-LOVERS inspired me to write with the news that the Dead will continue to be associated with Science Fiction. Seems they have been hired to write the music for the upcoming Twilight Zone series. This includes music for separate segments as well as the theme music. The Dead have been weaving Science Fiction themes into their 'Space' sequence in the last few years. I personally have heard traces of 'Close Encounters' as well as the original Twilight Zone theme. Also their head guru, Mr. Jerry Garcia provided the sound effects for the baby robot in 'Heartbleeps(?)', definitely the high point of the whole movie. I would appreciate hearing any other comments on the relation of the Dead with SF or for that matter any rock groups' connection with SF.

Well, it seems there will be a novel out at the end of the year called BROKEDOWN PALACE. Does that count? -- SKZB

From: Greg Goodknight <GOOD@ACC> How can one overlook the animation at the beginning of The Grateful Dead Movie? It starts with an astronaut plunking a quarter into a giant 3D space pinball machine. Very cosmic gameplay. Maybe some money could be pried from some of NASA's lesser projects to do a feasability study for the real thing.
