    Furthur selection criteria
    Any significance around the fact that all of the first names of all the "Furthur" boys not named "Bob" or "Phil" begin with the letter "J"? Theories, please...

    I found this over at Lossless
    I'm looking to raise $800 to replace a speaker that was stolen from the KPFA performance studio. I believe this is a speaker that was originally donated by the Jerry Garcia estate. Regular listeners to Dead to the World have heard many great music broadcasts from that studio, and we have Grandpa Banana and his band coming in this week. KPFA is struggling (as are we all, I know) so it will be hard to find the money to replace this important piece of the studio. That's why I am asking for help here. You can send a check to KPFA, 1929 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Berkeley CA 94704, or Paypal to David@trufun.com with a note stating that it is for KPFA. I know we can make this happen. Thanks to all for reading this. someone found this on David`s facebook page . figure I`ll post it here also. KPFA could use the help as well as any public broadcasting radio or television station.

    Quack, Quack, Quack - Go Ducks!
    I will be rooting for the Oregon Ducks, whose homefield is Autzen Stadium in Eugene, in the Rose Bowl! Now that I've my credit cards all paid off I should go see Furthur on new years eve, then head down to the Rose Bowl and see the Ducks, then head down to Baja and have a margaritta with a senoritta in Rosarita. But it would really suck if Furthur played FOTD, the Ducks lost, and I got mugged in Mexico, I think I'll just stay home. It's been a good year, why push it. I saw more shows this year,3, than I have since the mid-80's, wrote more songs this year than I ever have in my life,(you all inspire me), and had a couple nice road trips where, on one, I saw a ton of new country I've not seen before. Plus, I had my last beer on the 9th of this month, smoked my last bowl on the 24th, and am hoping to have my last cig tomorrow. I hope in the coming year I can get my act together and start playing some gigs. I wish you all a happy and healthy new year. Peace. Let there be songs, to fill the air

    the torrent of saliva emanating from bob's mouth. he wasn't actually spitting, but wow....i don't know how he could actually sing with the amount of liquid he was producing. the only visual i can think of that compares is sweat pouring off of someone during an extremely strenuous workout, and that still doesn't really compare. we used to get close enough to almost lean on the edge of the stage at the kaiser convention center in oakland and had a clear view of bob, just a few feet away.

Did anyone else read that worldwide use of Spam has dropped 70% in recent months? Any ideas why? The experts...the Spam experts..are dumbfounded! And by use, I mean consumption. It might still be used for, um, other things.

Good luck to the Green Bay Packers!!! Too bad we have to listen to FOX TV announcers...The best thing about the game is usually the commercials, bought at the record high amount of $3 mil for a 30 second spot. Plenty of activities in Dallas TX today as The Pittsburgh Steelers go for a 7th football trophy. Speaking of FOX, did you catch the Bill O'Reilly grilling of President Obama in the White House?

Question: Does your DVD of Alpine suck? I "upgraded" my VHS to DVD some years ago. I don't remember my VHS being so crummy although it was nothing to cheer about. My DVD appears legit with the Monterey art that looks like others I have. The sound is good, but the images is blurry and the colors harsh. I realize it's not Hi Def but the quality of the picture is poor like it was shot on an 8mm camera. What's been your experience with this Vid??? Flame please...

Really? Any opinions out there on the prospects of hearing Bob perform an entire show naked, so to speak?

We were witness to a most inspiring and magical event last night in Madison, Wisconsin. Jackson Browne performed a solo acoustic set. One man, one voice and 20 acoustic guitars. this was not an ordinary event, with the songs you heard on the radio back in the day....but rather a momentous occasion of support for the things that matter most in the lives of everyman. He has a vision and a spirit that flows with most all of us, and the perseverance to travel across this great land and further the education of our society, through music, words...and the spirit behind which you cannot help but be drawn in, to a better life, on a better planet, in a better space. My hats off, and my immense respect, Jackson, for you vision, your communication, and most of all your tenaciousness, in making this a better planet for all of us.

A message from Neil Young..."2012 will that record companies release High Resolution Audio. This is huge for our industry. Since the advent of the CD, listeners have been deprived of the full experience of listening. The spirituality and soul of music is truly found when the sounds engulfs you, and that is just what 2012 will bring. It is a physical thing, a relief that you feel when artists and producers did when they created it in the studio. The sound engulfs you and your senses open up allowing you to truly feel the deep emotion of the music of some of our finest artists. From Frank Sinatra to the Black Keys, the feeling is there. This what Record companies were born to deliver and in 2012 they will." Inspiration. A wonderful thing.

So 19 of the many Islamofascists who want nothing more than to murder innocent Americans once again attacked the WTC on 9/11/01, and succeeded in killing thousands of our fellow citizens...Luckily your humble writer, altho it was a close call, was not a victim for a second time... Then, a few years later when I was posting on the DNC forum, and praising "W" for his efforts to keep us safe from those sick savages, my posts prompted numerous online attacks by DNC neo-libs ...They clearly didn't like "W", America, or me!!! It was at that time that I read many idiotic comments, including "W" was a complete failure based on the fact that the unemployment rate was hovering at around 5%, and he was sending troops into Iraq because the people there had "brown skin", etc.... Now, about six years later, unemployment is at about 9+%, and since coming into office Barry Obama is sending drones into the area, and has sent tens of thousands of troops into the Middle East to kill "brown skin people" in even more countries, including Libya, Yemen, etc.... SURPRISE!! SURPRISE!!! Not a peep from the "Deadheads For Obama", et al... Anyone care to take a wild guess as to the reason(s) why ?? If it wasn't so sick, it would be funny...

OR -- You lost somebody in the Gulf whom you're still grieving for. As somebody who has carefully followed your posts on dead.net, I'd say the last one seems like a cry for professional help. You're entited to your own opinions, but not your own facts. Try this fact:: Under "no controls' Dubya, Goldman got to Sec. Treas. Paulsen to bail out AIG who immediately made Goldman liquid on ALL it's hedges. Then Congress poured it on with unprecedented bailouts and now, 2 years later, we aren't in a great depression because of Obama (though we have cash-rich corps with human rights unwilling to invest in this country) -- despite of everything. You can't blame Obama unless you're willing to blot out 8 years of the Dubya, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice regime. I think you've broken with reality and need help. I urge you to seek it as soon as possible. If you are a vet, get help. If you're in a family situation with dysfunctional vet., get help!

Not quite, but it looks like Widespread Panic will be tomorrow, never seen them before so that should be good. The Primus show was hot and so was Mumford & Sons (another first).

WS Panic and Bruce Hornsby, I really enjoyed it, Panic is playing in Eugene in 3 weeks,hmm. I also enjoyed Mavis Staples and thought Neon Trees sure put on a show. Warren Haynes Band was awesome and he has a great new CD out. Sure am glad I got this computer. I want more !

I'm guessing it's in the state of Washington (Rainier?); I know it's not on the east coast of the USA, nor in West Virginia, which does have a few big mountains.
