Naming the Living.

The news of Michael Jackson's death this past week reminded me of another departed pop (of a sort) icon, Jerry Garcia. Indeed, the surviving members of Garcia's band, The Grateful Dead, have recently reunited. The curious thing is that this new, er, reincarnation of the band is called The Dead. Wouldn't The Grateful have been more appropriate? (Like, aren't ``the dead'' exactly who are not in the new band?)
