  We analyse mesons at finite temperature in a chiral, confining string dual.
The temperature dependence of low-spin as well as high-spin meson masses is
shown to exhibit a pattern familiar from the lattice. Furthermore, we find the
dissociation temperature of mesons as a function of their spin, showing that at
a fixed quark mass, mesons with larger spins dissociate at lower temperatures.
The Goldstone bosons associated with chiral symmetry breaking are shown to
disappear above the chiral symmetry restoration temperature. Finally, we show
that holographic consideration imply that large-spin mesons do not experience
drag effects when moving through the quark gluon plasma. They do, however, have
a maximum velocity for fixed spin, beyond which they dissociate.
