    .....not Fair....
    you edited your post goddammmit....one too many m's..... The screen door slams Mary' dress waves Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again Don't run back inside Darling you know just what I'm here for So you're scared and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright with me You can hide 'neath your covers And study your pain Make crosses from your lovers Throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in vain For a saviour to rise from these streets Well now I'm no hero That's understood All the redemption I can offer girl Is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now ? Except roll down the window And let the wind blow Back your hair Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back Heaven's waiting on down the tracks Oh-oh come take my hand We're riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh-oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold Thunder Road Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk And my car's out back If you're ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The door's open but the ride it ain't free And I know you're lonely For words that I ain't spoken But tonight we'll be free All the promises'll be broken There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch they're gone On the wind so Mary climb in It's town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win Later kid.....high to Matt

    Dont look up the band...just read the lyrics. I do not condone listening to the makers of this song... There is no hope for you and me Cause this long drive might be [The last time I take the wheel] You're not sure how you feel I think the spotlight Always gives you stage fright Wish this song would end right Wish that you would stop Makin' my head spin Over and over it's over but what if we... If we just pretend You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star This isn't right you said It takes some time you know Let's try again tonight This fight is getting old I think the spotlight Always gives you stage fright Wish this song would end right Wish that you would stop Makin' my head spin You're young but old enough to build up Falling walls and false love Wish this song would end I wish this song would end You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star We're done tonight We gotta pick it up slowly Can I hear your voice What a perfect story Can I pick you up You can be my star Now the spotlight's on, move close for the final scene You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star good evening to you rrrgrrr...keep on truckin'!!!!!

    .....so bring me back down..... Well the times gettin' hard for you little girl I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over god's world You don't remember when you got your last meal And you forgot just how a woman feels You didn't know what rock n' roll was Until you met a drummer on a greyhound bus I got there in the nick of time Before he got his hands across your state line Well in the middle of the night On the open road And the heater don't work and it's oh-so cold You're gettin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat The music of the street, drive you off your feet You didn't know how rock n' roll looked Until you caught your sister with a guy from the group Half-way home in the parking lot By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got Once bitten twice shy, babe Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep All the blood on my hand and my les paul heat I can't leave you home cos you're runnin' around My best friend told me you're the best trick in town You didn't know that rock n' roll burned So you bought a candle and you loved and you learned You got the rhythm, you got the speed Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet Once bitten twice shy, babe I didn't know ya got a rock n' roll record Until a saw your picture on another guy's jacket You told me I was the only one And look at you now, well it's dark as it's dumb Once bitten twice shy, babe

    Here we come in a cloud stars in our eyesStanding up proud it's the perfect disguise We've got so much to give, so much to gain Just give me your money, and I'll give you my pain It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) Now Tia Maria, she leans on the wall Looks in the mirror and pukes on the floor Tries to remember the cause of it all He just gave her a drink so she gave him a ball It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) But I expect you expect a lot from me I can feel your burning need Your greedy seedy Fantasies are guaranteed To make my young heart bleed For you, and your pubescent blues, yes You and your dancin shoes You... And your sad glad news About your boyfriend Stan He's a dirty flirty man And he'll get you if he can, look out Here I stand in a daze axe in my hand Another fool on the stage with a traveling band There's a space in my heart... Permanent flame Just give me your body and I'll give you my brain It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) Now Venus De Milo a statue of note She lays in the gutter, with a knife in her throat Naked as sin no, not even a coat She gave you a thrill so you gave her a grope It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) Still, I expect you expect a lot from me I know you all The show goes on despite the wrong The strong still rise And the weak still fall This song is up to you All along, you never knew This song Is comin on through To take you for a ride It's tested true and tried Even though it almost lied And we have a merri go round manufacturing plant....go figure... It's a fair exchange...

    not many fair songs...per se I'll ride the rollercoaster or the carousel I like the Spider and the diving bell But since she's gone I don't like so well The ferris wheel I'll ride the Rockoplane or the Tilterwhirl It wasn't on these rides I lost my girl Way up high is where I lost her On a ferris wheel Pretty Ferris Wheel by your colored lights I saw someone steal her kiss from her that ni-ight I'll pay my fair and ride the bumper cars Those turning cars won't make the teardrops start But way up there is where she broke my heart On the ferris wheel On the ferris wheel On the ferris wheel My hometown has a ferris wheel factory, one of just a few in the country. They made Michael Jackson's ferris wheel in his Fantasyland. Big Eli Ferris Wheel Co.

    Bruce, first played live September 2002..... Oh what a thrill.... Every year when summer comes around They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town You can feel somethin' happenin' in the air Well from Carol's house up on Telegraph Hill You can see the lights goin' up out in the soldiers' field Gettin' ready for the county fair County fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, hey, we're goin' down there Hey little girl with the long blond hair Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears Baby down at the county fair Now you'll be hangin' tight when we hit the top And that rollercoaster's ready to drop And you brag, how you wasn't even scared* Well baby you know I just love the sound Of the pipe organ on the merry-go-round Baby down at the county fair** County fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, we're goin', goin' down there Hey little girl with the long blond hair Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears Baby down at the county fair Now at the north end of the field, well they set up a stand And they got a little Rock 'N' Roll band The people dancin', yeah, out in the open air Well it's James Young and the Immortal Ones Just two guitars, baby, bass and drums Just rockin' down at the county fair Well county fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, we're goin' down there Hey little girl with the long blond hair Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears Baby down at the county fair Now it's gettin' late before we head back to town We let the fortune wheel spin around Come on mister, tell me what's waitin' out there On my way out I steal a kiss in the dark Hope I can remember where our car's parked Baby at the county fair Now off down the highway there's the last stream of cars We sit a while in my front yard With the radio playin' soft and low I pull Carol close to my heart And I lean back and stare up at the stars Oh I wish never had to let this moment go

    Well, that about sums it up! I'm somewhere in between the Galleria and "Natural Bridge and Kingshighway" But what about this oldie... When Louis came home to the flat, He hung up his coat and his hat, He gazed all around But no wifey he found So he said "Where can Flossy be at" A note on the table he spied He read it just once then he cried It read 'Louis dear it's toos low for me here So I think I will go for a ride Oh Meet me in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair, Don't tell me the lights are shining Any place but there We will dance the hoochie koochie I will be your tootsie wootsie If you will meet me in st. Louis, Louis, Meet me at the fair (Company) Meet me in st. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair Don't tell me the lights are shining Any place but there We will dance the hoochie koochie I will be your tootsie wootsie If you will meet me in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair Road Trip indeed!

    @ Closer to the Heart
    What part of the Midwest is close to Da Buff? Harry got up Dressed all in black Went down to the station And he never came back They found his clothing Scattered somewhere down the track And he won't be down on Wall Street in the morning He had a home The love of a girl But men get lost sometimes As years unfurl One day he crossed some line And he was too much in this world But I guess it doesn't matter anymore In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute Things can get pretty strange In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute Lying here in the darkness I hear the sirens wail Somebody going to emergency Somebody's going to jail If you find somebody to love in this world You better hang on tooth and nail The wolf is always at the door In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute Things can get a little strange In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute And in these days When darkness falls early And people rush home To the ones they love You better take a fool's advice And take care of your own One day they're here; Next day they're gone I pulled my coat around my shoulders And took a walk down through the park The leaves were falling around me The groaning city in the gathering dark On some solitary rock A desperate lover left his mark, "Baby, I've changed. Please come back." What the head makes cloudy The heart makes very clear The days were so much brighter In the time when she was here But I know there's somebody somewhere Make these dark clouds disappear Until that day, I have to believe I believe, I believe In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute You can get out of the rain In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute

What an amazing, transcendent summer celebration. "Thank You!" to the entire band for getting out there once again and making the magic! And thanks to everyone who was there along the way (or streaming from afar) for sharing the vibe and spreading the kindness with all of us. Maybe another tour after the dust settles? . . . Hope so! Onward! . . . still miss Jerry.

It was two years ago today that we all met up in Chicago for the FTW pic a nic, a lot has transpired since then. I would like to wish all th Daydreamers a Happy Independence Day and to once again thank Tony for brainstorming the idea. Without his hard work and vision it never would have been possible. I have made a number of good friends from that experience who have proven invaluable to me. We have toured together, vacationed together and grow together. Thanks to all who have contributed here, made me think, made me laugh and helped me change as a person. You know who you are. Life goes by oh so quickly, let's not waste a minute of it. Carpe Diem... https://youtu.be/_Mnw9uiYggU

Amazing how the time does fly, huh?? And actually, it's even longer than that given all the pre-FTW planning, logistics, ticket heartburn and spreadsheets we went through. Spreadsheets? OMG, what was I thinking...lol. I could never find the time now to do that over again - seems to be the planets and orbits aligned just right, forming that time vacancy to execute on a plan - and that we did SD'ers!! I have zero intel to confirm this, but I have a really good gut feeling that D&C are not done. I think the music will continue for at least one more tour - who knows, maybe more. Maybe they'll even play in this little state called FLORIDA one day...lol. My only regret, with three consecutive summers of the music, is not taking either of my kids to a show. Many of you have shared the experience with your kids - that is so, so awesome and without question, the #1 item on my bucket-list. Peace, love and HAPPY 4th to all!!

Happy Independence Day to all the lovely Daydreamers everywhere! Glad to have met you all at the Pic a Nic a whole two years ago...and what a fine day it was...the sun was shining and the breeze was blowin', smiling faces all around. I don't think any of us could have imagined that day what a tight band would come out of the remaining crew of Dead members after FTW. I am Grateful Indeed. Here's to many more years of friendship and fun times with fine tunes...

Heard an interview with Bob from backstage after 7/1/17, he was quite pleased with the tour and proud of the bands maturity. With that said, he does not want this to become stale, Oteil has a gig he's getting ready to embark on, Chimenti is going on tour with Kimock, Bob is going back to the range and play Cowboy for a few months, Lil John is getting his inner rock idol dream fulfilled and Mickey has a new LP and band with a fall tour. I am sure this Mayer n Sons gig is not over, but we have to be patient and thankful for the musical gifts they have brought us. Regarding kids, back in the day I took both of my girls to Dead shows, got Scotty on board with Ratdog in 2010 and he and his girl have been in search of the grail ever since. Dead shows are very inclusive and family friendly always have been. Take your boys Tony if you can, the bond that this music brings to us can not be broken. Have a blessed fourth and may Gob be with us all ;-)

...you can't un-see it. It's called the light. and it focused on a small patch of green in the Windy City 2 years ago. Two years, seems like only one fifth of a decade, a tenth score; only yesterday. Sometimes that light is all shining on you, sometimes you can hardly see. Sometimes that light's a bolt, sometimes it's at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes it's a house, sometimes an inquisition. Sometimes it's a bulb that goes off. Sometimes it's just not heavy. May that light which helped us all get together 2 years ago continue to shine on you, light your path and chase away the darkness. May it provide warmth when you are cold, and direction when you are lost. And may it clearly mark the intersection whence our paths cross once again. Cause i ain't never had so much fun couch touring, jumping on ba dus, enjoying donuts, no duts and snot duds, reminiscing, sharing stories, enjoying Oteil, marveling at Checkers, nodding knowingly at Bobby, dancin' at drums, gasping at Jeff, planning adventures, being surprised and feeling like i belonged to something priceless practically never like this since we first left home. Who are the grateful daydreamers and why do they keep following me/us? Thanks Daydreamers. Happy Birthday indeed! Love and hugs from the Hills of North Texas and Happy Birthday to all of us, you, your family and the horse, camel, terrapin, pup, cat and/or psychedelic squirrel you rode in on or with.

Well said, as usual, Geo. Got the post-tour blues these last couple of days. But still so very grateful for the bond we've formed - and for this music and band. Two years has gone by SO FAST!! What an amazing time it was - and the last two summers, too! Thanks, rrrrrGrrrrr for the shares... Onward for sure! I know our paths are destined to cross again.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Please name the new thread, "Sunshine Daydreamers Keep on Truckin'" If you can include the last 3999 posts, that'd be swellll...just kidding, of course. But if you could include the last 17 (make that 20, see the above 3 hangers-on and ne'er do-wells) or so of the posts from #1, first above written going back to and including July 4th the Happy Anniversary one, that should give one and all some context, as that was the day 2 years ago, when we first met each other for real, where we broke bread and watermelons at the finest pizza pic-a-nic this side of the Rockies, and whence we collectively enjoyed a grand and magnificent band celebrating all good things. Thank Yew veddy much, Oh Kind One.

We're very intrigued by the Playing in the Sand gig come February and will most likely pony-up. Spoke to a dude at CID today in Philly who's been at all the gigs there (D&C, DMB, etc...) and he said is simply knockout gorgeous and as intimate a live beach concert setting as you can imagine. Multiply that by three shows and "all-inclusive" amenities and the the money grab rolls-on... Anyone else contemplating?
