Father

[edit]

Was it Mickey Hart's father (himself a champion military drummer) who managed the Dead for awhile and stole all their money? The event, whoever's father it was, was a key moment in the history and solidarity of the band, although it almost killed them.

Yes, sadly. Mickey Hart wrote about it in Drumming at the Edge of Magic (pp. 144-145). It drove him to stop touring with the band from 1971-74.Crafins (talk) 21:07, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Question of what Mickey's father was and why Mickey left the Grateful dead?
My mother Leah never told me Lenny was military nor a military drummer, IDK if he was but he certainly had "colors than ran" when it came to his son. Also the fac of Lenny embexeling money IS NOT why Mickey laft the Band! Read Source Bill Kruetmanns auto-biography and you will know what my mother never told me! It seems like Mickey was in and out of drug rehabs and he was canned by the original founder Bill Kruetzmann (hope I spelled it right). but nonetheless Leah never told me of Mickey's rehab's to protect him, I am sure she knew.

Lenny, i don't think my mom Leah told me that...lol! Dont think so I was not told that he was a champion drummer.posdibly manufacturered. Leah was, our mother. World class rudimentary drummer. Lenny owned a music shop. Yes he embezzled money from the dead and caused my brother so much embarrassment he left for a few years. Hollyjill Gray (talk) 14:02, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Olympics

[edit]

Another item not mentioned is Mickey Hart's contribution to the 1996(?) Olympic ceremonies.

TV

[edit]

Is there a Micky Hart TV show coming out? www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhDFhuiewVw —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.47.128.202 (talk) 21:15, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Children

[edit]

Does he have children? There are mentions of Creek Hart and Taro Hart who have performed with him, but it's unclear who they are. Badagnani (talk) 11:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I could find no information on Taro, aside from his heartbeat being recorded and used in the album "music to be born by" (from liner notes). i added this to article. (unsourced, potentially libelous comments from disruptive IP removed)(mercurywoodrose)66.80.6.163 (talk) 17:26, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it is my personal knowledge that I met Creek and his sister Christina. It was never verified to my knowledge that they were Mickey's children. To the best of my knowledge not legally anyway, their mother, "Cookie", I never knew her last name, sorry... I did meet her, I was very young like 5 or 6, Gerilyn Brandelius spoke of them, who was a well published AUTHOR of many of the BOOKS about the band and also his 2nd wife-girlfriend, writes about "Deluxe mixed nuts" as it referes to the band's families, which btw, only Mickey's and my grandmother is mentioned, not our mother? funny isn't it.

Bohemian Club

[edit]

Why is it that someone keeps putting on Mickey Hart's article that he and Bob Weir are members of the Bohemian Grove? This is not true by any stretch of the imagination. I will continue to delete it as whomever keeps adding it. Let's try and keep Wikipedia honest and save the Alex Jones conspiracy bullshit for your blogs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.83.139.25 (talk) 01:26, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't add the original paragraph about Hart being a member of the Bohemian Club, but I've added it back a few times, because it has a reliable reference, in the form of a footnote that links to this article from the Los Angeles Times: http://articles.latimes.com/2006/aug/21/local/me-bohemian21 So, I guess it is true, and should be put back into the article. I would encourage you to reply here. Thanks. — Mudwater (Talk) 02:06, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Citation needed?

[edit]

In the article it says he was the "author of several books [citation needed]" and yet further down it lists the books he wrote. So what sort of citation is needed? A quick search on Amazon shows several of his books available for sale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.196.91.38 (talk) 16:39, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I've removed the tag. — Mudwater (Talk) 00:22, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

World record

[edit]

Hello,

I am staggered, because I couldn't find any information about Mickey Hart's world record from 2004:

> He followed that speech with Rhythm For Life, a 2000 person drum circle at the College of Marin, where he was joined by Carlos Santana, Shiela E, Hamza El Din, Airto, and Flora Purim, and in the Fall of 2004, broke the Guinness World Record: Largest Drum Ensemble for his 5000 person drum circle, also in Northern California.

Found here: https://mickeyhart.net/bio?destination=Pages/senspeech.html

Shouldn't this be in the Wikipedia Article??

Regards Ghagerer (talk) 07:38, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the fact that he has a sister be mentioned in Wikipedia? Hollyjill Gray (talk) 14:03, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yep he has a sister and she should be mentioned. I need to find someone to make a statement and do it for me since Wiki has made it near impossible. I have nothing to gain. Just the fact we share a mother. (source: Hollyjill Gray) Mustangtamer (talk) 14:45, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to be replying to yourself. In any case, as you've been told elsewhere, find a reliable source which mentions your connection to the article subject, then make an edit request based on the information in that source. Use {{Edit COI}} or the Edit request wizard. Someone without a conflict of interest will decide whether to add the information. 57.140.16.27 (talk) 18:05, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

[edit]

I don't think it's necessary to add categories for every type of percussion instrument that Mr. Hart has played, like this. It's not like he spent a lot of his career gaining fame as a player of castanets or tubular bells. "American rock drummer" and "American rock percussionist" cover things nicely, in my view, along with the many other categories already included. — Mudwater (Talk) 11:46, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I added these categories is because, according to allmusic, Mickey has played them and if he didn't play a certain instrument, then I wouldn't add the category.
