Deadheads Everywhere !!! Offered here is the Very-Rare ! 1985-1986 " New Year's Eve ! " Grateful Dead Shirt !! - Featuring an Amazing Art Design by Tim Harris ( aka. " FLD " ) ! You know, think back now - this is the one that features both and Hour Glass, and a Winged-Father Time ... holding a Scythe !! In my opinion, one of the truly quintessential G.D. T-Shirt images of the Mid-1980's ! Fabulous ... And as for " Father-Time " ? Well, we all know the story there - but ( not to sound like a Red Bull commercial ... ) this one has Wings !! And naturally ... a Scythe ! I mean how Grateful Deadie ( is that a word ? ) - I don't know ... but I like this ring it gives. Ha ! So yes ... Father Time ! Looking into it, it appears he is generally depicted as an elderly bearded man - dressed in a robe ( as we know ) - usually carrying an Hour Glass ( or other timekeeping device ) and/or Scythe ( both present in this image ). But as for the Wings ?! Well, his image comes from a various mix of historic sources coming from both " Chronus " ( the Greek God of Time ) - and - " The Grim Reaper ". Wow ... we won't go there, but how Grateful Deadie - once again !! So, I suppose the " Wings " are derived from the " Chronus " side, as there is really no better way to ' fly ' into one year to the next ... as time slowly ( or even quickly ! ) passes. Not to get too deep here. Fact is, as that calendar flips really any-year from 1966 to 1992 ... is there any better way to spend it, than seeing the Grateful Dead !?! This is a " New Year's Eve " G.D. Treasure ! here fellow fans, no doubt about it. One of those top-shelf designs from the '80's, and one that Mickey even choose to stage wear ? Didn't he ? If ... my memory serves me correctly. Usually ... it's pretty good. And last, but definitely not least ... New ! Put this one in your cherished collection, in a frame ... or on your body ! Father Time's got Wings !!! -- Enjoy !!!!!
