Grateful Dead

Wavy Gravy was my favorite candidate when he ran as Nobody for President.

Pat Paulsen was a close second. Anybody remember him?

Other than that, I will respectfully add no fuel to the fire, but just encourage everyone to vote. Take nothing for granted!

I really like this DaP 28 too.....

....guess if there was one day this was going to come up, it would be today. And yes I voted, and no I'm not telling. Firestorms tend to erupt when one voices their political tendencies, which is sad and lame. For both sides. Personally, I wish Kasvot Vaxt was on the ballot. Easy pick.
....edit. And no CaseyJanes, I haven't watched Ozarks yet, although it did peak my interest. It was that or The Haunting of Hill House. Flipped a coin. Came up tails. Ozarks was heads...

"Hawkwind, on the other hand, were THE anti establishment band, often playing for free at festivals. If you have never heard them, the live "Space Ritual" recorded in 1972, is the one to go for. Its up there with Deep Purple's "Made in Japan " in my estimation."

Space Ritual IS pretty awesome. If, like me, you really dug Spacemen 3 or Loop but ignored Hawkwind, you NEED to check out Space Ritual.

Dave, are there Hawkwind fans on your side of the pond who revere Thatcher and tell people to "cut your hair and get a job"?

The indelible certainty of the political posters here makes it pretty clear we're losing the possibility of creative problem solving and respectful dialogue. In any case, there're places for polishing personal political mythologies, but I don't think that's what this forum's here for. Play Dead. Onward (through the fog).

Not sure if anyone watches Ozark on Netflix or not (spoiler alert), but last night my wife (who's not a Deadhead) shook me awake as I was dozing off while we were watching Episode 4 on Season 2 of Ozark. At about the 38 minute mark of that episode a plot line begins involving a set of Dead & Co. tickets that will eventually be used later in the episode as a bribe (don't you let that deal go down indeed). Apparently Dead & Co. are playing two upcoming shows in Missouri & another two in Nebraska! (please God, let this be true!) I declared to my wife, if that happens then I'm going to all of em....(a quick muffled laugh & eye-roll from her) and then I promptly fell back asleep.
And then, I wake up to find a very nicely done Black Throated Wind > Deal on my doorstep. Unbelievable......Can someone please tell me how they do that?

Last 5:

Pittsburgh, PA, Pittsburgh Civic Arena - September 24, 1973

Today.....something from the 90's.....hmmm.......any suggestions?

Edit: And what do ya know, I look up and....today is my Dead.Net, One Year Anniversary......It was on this day, one year ago, when I completely plunged down the rabbit hole after discovering "30 Days" on November 1st....close to some 200 shows later, I'm very happy to be here, digging deeper, and I've met a few friends along the way. Thanks to all for the warm welcome, and especially ForensicDocEleven, MDJim (or is it JiminMD?), and Oxford 88 for loading me up with so many great shows. I'm forever Grateful.

Play Dead People,

KCJ

I was thinking along those lines myself. Thanks for your input!

If people measured Obama with the same measuring stick they use for Trump, everybody would be calling Obama a racist. The guy has a history of commiserating with anti white people. He hung out with Farrakhan and suppress pictures of it, he had his portrait taken buy an artist known for painting pictures of black women holding decapitated heads of white people. Do yourself a favor and look at the entire picture. CNN and MSNBC do not report on such things. Do yourself a favor and don't rely on them for your news. And exercise some intellectual honesty. Is Trump really a racist? I don't know, but I dunno that I have watched the media twist his words frequently to paint him as a racist. I'm not saying he doesn't make some questionable remarks but I am saying that a lot of people are all too eager to jump on that hate bandwagon that has been exaggerated by the media for propaganda purposes. The same people who condemn hate speech. If you really want the bad feelings and negativity to go away, you need to stop taking sides and start listening to everybody. You may learn something about yourself.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised DaveRock. The recording and mix, in particular, are exceptional. Good to hear about your positive experiences in the city..

Please folks.. resist the temptation and don't let things dissolve into tit for tat and discord.

..I saw a couple of great ones in London last weekend at the London Palladium, no less. On Saturday night it was King Crimson, who played with incredible power and dynamics for several hours. This is the new three drummer line up, and it worked perfectly, the sound, the set list-even the audience was great, respecting the request not to use mobile phones during the show. They actually listened during the quiet parts, too.
On Sunday, I saw Hawkwind at the same venue, backed by an orchestra. It felt very strange seeing them at the Palladium, which was a bastion of the establishment when I was growing up. There was a television programme called "Sunday Night at The Palladium" in the 1960s, which was a favourite of mums and dads, and featured "light entertainment". Hawkwind, on the other hand, were THE anti establishment band, often playing for free at festivals. If you have never heard them, the live "Space Ritual" recorded in 1972, is the one to go for. Its up there with Deep Purple's "Made in Japan " in my estimation.

No Daves Picks yet. I wait with bated breath.

Yeah politics sucks but you cant get out of a shitstorm by pissing into the wind. I agree with ya, if my grandfathers, one who liberated France from D-Day on and another who was a B-17E navigator shot down and imprisoned in a Nazi POW for four years camp were alive to see what Trump and his followers were doing to this country while remaining silent about the rampant Nazism and every day racism popping up in the Republican party, they would be beyond furious. Funny one of them was a staunch Republican too. Unfortunately most Baby boomers are spoiled post-war economy whiners with no sense of how good they actually had it and have lost it all for everyone because of overconfident pompous ineptitude and rampant greed.

Our best hope now is that they only completely screw the younger generations out a livable planet before their all dead in 15 years.

The Greatest Generation I revere, but the Boomers damn alot of them are losers, all about the show but no substance. Popular vote should win elections not data-mined gerrymandering to flame the last gasps of a generations illusion of profundity and power. Sadly for them history will probably not paint them favorably, especially with their climate change is fake bs, long moral arc of justice indeed.
