Stardust

This song means absolutely nothing to me

It must have meant a lot to a lot of people at one time

It was huge, I don't know how many hotels and other establishments had "Stardust" for their name in the 1960's, but there were a LOT. Weird trivia that I picked up from a recent read. The lyrics to Stardust were written by Mitchell Parish, who was the uncle of Steve Parish the leader of the roadies for the Dead. And it turned out that Jerry Garcia was a huge fan of the song and asked to meet the uncle. They were introduced and became friends. Mitchell Parish attended shows and became a fan of the Dead, 40+ years after writing the lyrics to Stardust.
