Grateful Dead

That song has been in my head today. Did someone post a few days back about it? Did I see some music documentary, like on AXS TV, that talked about the Zombies? I am pretty sure on the second question but will have to go backwards to go forwards on the first question. Meaning, I am pretty sure I saw something on AXS TV.

I always thought there was three sides to every story: his side, her side, and the truth somewhere in the middle ; )

RIPPLE, in still water, when there is no pebble tossed.
I’ve always felt like folks would go to a dead show or two or six, and then take that loving, peaceful easy feeling and spread it round out in the world, like that ripple in still water. Consciously or not, it always felt like that group consciousness we’d get at shows would be integrated into the world at large. Might be real subtle but it felt real…
Now I know this will sound goofy to some, but it seemed like after JG passed, and those big waves stopped going out into the world, the world seemed to step up its pace down the road that has proceeded and increased into much of the darkness that is prevalent today. It’s not like black or white, but subtle. I mean how many million? people a year (in the nineties anyway) per year, times 30 years experienced the Dead. Obviously not all we’re changed/influenced, but I’m sure the percentage was very high. So it’s not crazy to think that all those folks taking that “it” with them back out into the world, could have helped balance some of that negativity/darkness, even if just a little, then…..poof
Like what Mickey spoke of at the last Fare Thee Well show…

Speaking of ear worms, thanks for putting that in our head all day PF, lol

“Time Of The Season” by the Zombies.
Playing it twice in a row didn’t help. A somewhat spacey tune in just over 3 minutes.

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”
– Winston Churchill
There is always two sides to a story, both worth hearing.

Sweeney Todd says it best

Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
There's the one staying put in his proper place
And the one with his foot in the other one's face

Truth can be dark.

Luckily we're a cheery bunch :-)

I am with Vguy. 100% sure my maker wants me to be a decent and kind human being. So yah I am going with that. Thx.

....that if everyone listened to the Grateful Dead, it would be a nicer world in general. Remember. You will never regret being kind.

I wish each and every one of you a wonderful, fulfilling day.

And, as always, I say:

God bless the Grateful Dead

I think of an old commercial jingle from childhood

"When it says Libby's Libby's Libby's
On the label label label
You will like it like it like it
On the table table table"

Advertising is a sinister business, I tell ya

Also uses a huge Meyer Sound sound system. Not sure why...It's not like they are trying to project halographic or as OB called them, I think, psycho-accoustics. Are they becoming a metal jam band?

Yeah, so lame/limiting…
Over 60 years upon my head, and I’ve come to the conclusion there’s basically only two kinds of people in this world: aholes and folks who give a shit. Race, sex/gender, socio economic status, culture, all boils down to empathy and caring! All that hippie dippy cool GD cultural stuff.
I went to school, even a year of grad school, for Social research etc, and even with all their classifications and stratifications etc, that seems to be it, are you kind? Ole Hunter yet again!
Used to seem like most folks were more of the latter, nowadays, unfortunately, it seems like there’s more of the former?

GARY et el, calling all geeks!
You probably caught these, but I just checked out GOGD podcast fir first time yesterday, specifically the cool Long Strange Tech, parts 1 and 2 I think it was called? Holy guacamole Batman, good sheet Mon!
The Acid test Hug a cop episode was pretty fun too!

EDIT: Our very own Mary E talking with Jer on episode 2 of Long Strange Tech!
