Grateful Dead

"All is loneliness here for meLoneliness here for me Loneliness" from "Janis--Blow Away My Blues. This is San Francisco, at it's usual finest.....I forgot about this song. What a mind blower!

I got to see these guys from the 4th row a couple months before the plane crash, incredible

I haven't seen it in years! What a nice flashback - Thanks :) "Inspiration, move me brightly"

I have a Grateful Dead DVD from Anaheim and Bobby is wearing a Madonna t-shirt.

that Madonna song, I don't even know what the name is, but it goes "Open your heart to me, baby, I hold the lock and you hold the key". It came on while I was hanging out watching MTV on the couch with this guy that I had been close friends with for a long time when we started making out for the first time. I remember both of us saying something like "wow, it's about time!" It's a really sweet memory for me. "Inspiration, move me brightly"

John Lennon I was 14 or 15, lying in bed one night with the midnight hour approaching, my little transistor radio on, my earphone (yes, mono, just one...may explain why I have more hearing loss in my right ear than my left) plugged in. My favorite FM station was about to play excerpts from the new John Lennon album -- their normal practice was to debut entire LPs, but my hindsight guess is that, despite the freewheeling times on some FM radio, "Working Class Hero" posed a threat to their FCC license. Midnight strikes, the DJ intones, "Ladies and Gentleman, Mr John Lennon." God..."God is a concept" got my immediate attention, and I was hyper-focused on all that followed. As the "I don't believe" litany progressed, there were a few items I didn't understand (example -- who or what was "Zimmerman"? I was a couple years from discovering Dylan, so I didn't have a clue). And then the kick in the gut: "I don't believe in Beatles!" Man, I DID believe in Beatles. What a blow! "The dream is over"....this from the guy who was just a short time away from writing "Imagine"... What can I say? A little innocence lost that night...
