你追过星吗？什么，没有？那就看看他们是如何追的呢？见过如此痴迷的追星族吗？什么,没有？你会像他们一样吗？

America is full of groupies who will follow their favourite band all around the country to watch them perform. The most famous and dedicated groupies are fans of a band called the Grateful Dead.

Thousands of young college students spend their parents` money to travel to distant cities just to see a Grateful Dead gig. Often young people would lie to their parents by telling them that they needed money for school, but in fact the students would skip class and spend their money on concert tickets. Tickets to some Dead gigs cost as much as 100-150 USD per ticket! The Grateful Dead also had many old Hippie groupies who lived on the road with the band. Wherever the Grateful Dead had a gig, that was the groupies` home. Even though they were never very clean, they always seemed to have fun. The Grateful Dead had a famous chubby (a little fat) lead guitarist named Jerry. He looked life Santa Claus. Jerry jammed on both acoustic and electrical guitars. The band also had at least two percussionists.Phil, the electric bass player, was very tall. Most of the Grateful Dead`slyrics were about peace and love. Though not a Heavy Metal band, most of their groupies had long hair, even the boys.
