Loved. You can't use it in the past tense. Death does not stop that love at all.

I've been to too many Dead concerts. There've been smokin' holes where my memory used to be.

When you're around the whole Dead scene, they're there as a tribal thing; they're there as part of a rendezvous and a pow-wow.
