Fun fact: President Jimmy Carter secured permission for the rock band The Grateful Dead to play in front of The Great Pyramids in Giza Egypt in 1978

Never knew that. He's prolly the 2nd coolest POTUS ever. Think he was a big Allman Brother Band fan too. Believe the band helped raise money for his campaign.

Not intended as an offensive comment: isn’t it rather insensitive to do that?! Why go to the Pyramids and play loud, rock and roll music so utterly foreign to Egyptian culture? Not to mention the drugs etc.! It’s like having a drag show in front of St. Peter’s.

They were welcomed by the locals most of whom joined Mickey hart on stage during drums.
Couldn’t have been nearly as loud as the Nazis taking pot shots at the sphinx during WWII
