  • Jerry Garcia's Daughter Says Grateful Dead Considered Hologram for 'Fare Thee Well'

    All the talk surrounding the Grateful Dead's "Fare Thee Well" concerts in hometown Santa Clara was the rainbow that appeared vividly over Levi Stadium over the weekend. Many suggested that the weather event was more than coincidental, and that perhaps the high price of tickets to the show was used to create a miraculous special effect.

    Fans of horse racing finally got the Triple Crown they had been waiting 37 years for when American Pharoah won at Belmont this weekend, capping off a Spring that included wins at the Preakness Stakes and the Kentucky Derby.

Music Times doesn't know much about racing, but we wanted to pay tribute to the last five Triple Crown winners with a comparable musical act, including Michael Jackson, U2 and more.
