Grateful Dead

misadventures of a hyper chihuahua and a stupid cat, my kids watched it :)

First of all I laughed my ass off. Second, every episode of Ren and Stimpy lives in my dvd collection. Just say the word.

Man, those hair balls are just too much! Classic show, I bet my kids would dig it PEACE

Was any episode funnier that The Fire Dogs? Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

in fact i was wondering y ren and stimpy where so popular amongst DHs......maybe because they are idealistic,somehow weird and dont care about that strange outside world with them funny RULES:-)(-:

...thanks mr.pid,i just found that one...:-)(-:

Yer welcome! "Save my horse!" Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

The Lunar Eclipse tonight! I'll be out with bells on PEACE

Out atobservatory tonight. got huge telescope at school observatory. all us heathens are out howling at the moon and jammin to some dead and some Jaco (Love it! one of the greatest bass players of all time!) take out those cameras, duct taped mine to the telescope and it worked! wow, that was random and off topic. ;-)peace the kid

What a beautiful eclipse! Thanks everyone! "If the forms of this world die, which is more real, the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind, or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?"

What an awesome eclipse!!

I enjoyed the eclipse alot. It was ruined for me though by a bunch of kids yelling and screaming as well as people not knowing that the more light there is, the less you can see the beautiful heavens. Found a quiet field with some friends and took some great pictures and we laid on my huge old indian blanket and listened to dark side of the moon. Perfect night. We encountered some howling coyotes but they were cool about it and left us alone. almost a spiritual night.

Saw much of the eclipse and then went and saw The Waybacks and Hot Buttered Rum who played Brain Damage and Eclipse from Dark Side of the Moon. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

It has been many moons since I been around. But I popped back in to provide links to an audience recording of Phil, Bob, Mickey and friends from 02-04-2008: http://www.archive.org/details/dfo2008-02-04.dfo2008-02-04.mk41.flac16 and http://tela.sugarmegs.org/_asxtela/DeadheadsForObama2008-02-04SanFranci… | I'm just a, well...porpoise. |

Hey skenisahen back from or to the dead from way back when....welcome back man! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Flight of the seabirds Scattered like lost words Wheel to the storm and fly" John Perry Barlow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for the welcome back! Shoreline! Its a beautiful day in Shoreline today! I'm just a little too excited for spring and summer! Richmond Beach, here I come! | I'm just a, well...porpoise. |

good to hear from you again. If you (or others) have interest in peeking back to the old forum's "wild west daze" here is the link (thanks to marshun)http://forum.gratefuldeadmusic.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/1671051527 A gander at that ol' forum sure brings back memories.

Not quite spring here. Got 8 in. of snow and supposed to get another six sometime this week. Great weather for keeping you down especially when youve got a ten page term paper due in history. on constant stream of shakedown street directly into my ear. earphone IV.

I sort of shudder when I recall being faced with my US History term paper. But I did have the then current Mars Hotel to egg me and my manual typewriter on. That was at a school I'm guessing to be about 80 - 100 miles further east from you, and right on the ocean, so what little snow we got never lasted very long. Whatever point you choose to make, just make it coherently. That's really all that matters. Keep yer chin up and bang it out. You'll do fine. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Thanks so much man. great album i hear. I used some heavy metal to keep me up. got it done though. ten pages. Fun fun fun fun fun. where/ what school?Peace

Ummm... can anyone explain to me how to join the vineyards? Id like to know how they work, and how to join.kid

Just say on Billy's site, under the news tab that "Big News Coming Soon" - what could that be?

Well there, kid, you can get the basic gist of vining from the first post here, and if you scan a few of the threads I'm sure you'll pick up on the protocol. As for My Old School Ties, I'll send you a PM. Probably best that way... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Hey, anyone know any good home remedys for Pleurisy? coordin to the doc, thats what ive got. cant keep meds in my room, like tylenol, and could only find a recommendation to tightly bind the chest as a home remedy. any other suggestions would be much appreciated.Peace The Kid "children children, don't be scared, the moon is up and were all prepared."

Hey Kid, Sorry to hear of your troubles. When I was back there in seminary prep school we had a variety of creative ways to insure access to Things We Weren't Supposed To Have. Not that I'm encouraging any such behavior, mind you. Just bragging. In any event, if you have a formal diagnosis from a licensed practitioner including a treatment regimen, won't your infirmary dispense for you? I know it's a nuisance to have to trudge over there periodically, but it's better than nothing. If your school has one of those asinine policies that forbids them from dispensing over the counter meds, then go back to your doctor and ask him for an actual prescription. That's something they probably can't choose to ignore. Feel better soon! You can't row if you can't breathe. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

a few minutes ago my room filled with the wild cries of birds flying over...my wife and I rushed outside and watched as hundreds of wild cranes passed over in long V formations, heading from their wintering grounds down in Spain towards their northern breeding grounds in Scandinavia and the arctic. Oh joy!

Cosmicbadger, thank you for sharing this moment. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

IM ON SPRING BREAK!!!!!!! YAYYYYYY!!!! oh... sorry bout that... just so exciting. goin to floridia. hey, need some advice. should I get a sirius radio or XM. I prefer XM's layout, but Sirius has better stations (all dead station!). Hmmm... what a dilemma. by the way, thanks for the great moment cosmicbadger.Peace, the kid PS I may not be on for a while due to lack of computer acess.

That should answer your question! Enjoy "Break". I (barely) remember those days! Nothing like salt air and sunshine to cure what ails you. Safe journey.

Yeah, I thinki Ill go with Sirius. Its a bit more expensive, but theyve got more and better channels. I ythink good things are comin during break. had a dream I was on stage playn with the GD last night. strange dream.Peace, the kid

iclips.net is running it live now!! Phil and friends comes on 8-12 tonight!! :)

But I'll just have to tune in tonight, instead. Thanks for the "heads up". "If the forms of this world die, which is more real, the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind, or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?"

i'm a newbie to the site and have been into the G.D. for about a year now. i'm only 17 so i have never been to a show and i was wondering if i am classifide as a certain kind of fan. i understand to be a dead head you have to go to shows, at least thats what i heard, but that would be a hard thing to do these days. would i be considered just "a fan" or do i have some cool name i can use. thanks

Well you could use the name, Jimi, that is a totally cool one.But seriously, as serious as I can be about this topic. Hee, hee. Now some may disagree but I think that all you need to be a Deadhead is that you really love that music and that it is part of who you are, almost a guiding force or grounding place. I myself only made it to 9 shows, and I know that would not be enough for some to consider me a "Deadhead", but the music and band have been a big part of my life for 35 years, so I do consider myself a Deadhead and many of my friends do to. I think it is something in your heart, it is how the music moves your spirit. Peace, welcome aboard. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

I think that if you love the Grateful Dead and the music makes you shake your bones, then my friend you are a DeadHead!! :) Welcome!!I have been to plenty of shows with Jerry :) and without :( , its all about the music.... They're a band beyond description, Like Jehovah's favorite choir People joining hand in hand While the music played the band, Lord They're setting us on fire. ~*~God Bless the Grateful Dead~*~ Peace, Gigi

thanks alot i'm glad to be apart :) i'm always surprised by the music, the way i dance when i listen to the music and what a community that has been built by the people who love the music. to think that music could bring people together the way it has...... theres not much to say, its awesome.

well being a kind of second-hand deadhead, relying on the albums and live recordings, i have found that not many other kids my age, at least around where i live, dig the Dead the way i do. most kids i try to introduce to the Dead say they don't get the sound and i have always speculated why that was.i decided that the Grateful Dead have an almost liquid soud, it flows through you, you know, when you listen it just seeps through and almost doesn't register as music, more like sound perfection, to me at least. to try and clarify what i'm struggling to say, its something special in the listener, a connection to the music. for instance, i like to drink water alot and can tell the different tastes of diffrent waters (weird i know) but everyone else says water is water. the Dead's music is the best damn water i have ever poured in my ears :) but everyone i try and tell that to says music is music, water is water. i think they're crazy (but their also young) anyone have thoughts on this?

Very well said and quite poetic. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

You don't need no ticketYou just get onboard... "Since you've all been such good boys and girls, I would like to take everybody in this entire audience out for milk and cookies. There are buses outside. Everybody follow me."

Hey Jimi I read your post about The Dead having a "liquid Sound". Very well put. It does flow through you. That's gotta be the best description I've heard about The Band Beyond Description! PEACE

they certainly are beyond description. thanks GRTUD i'm glad to be onboard :)

ur printed words say much beyound ur years, it is obvious to me the music has touched ur life...u and the ones u touch will forever be changed in many different ways unique to each person. is deadhead the term for any of us...who knows? i and u should consider the term a compliment as we are all brothers & sisters in life and got on the bus when the music changed how we live...l8tr deadhead "The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began" {the other one, "gd"} stay safe and feel good > (~):-}

Very true man. Sound is the spice of life, or in this case, the aqua vitae, water of life. BTW My good friend Tim was at a place called the Wheeler ranch in 1969 and hung out with the band. anyone heard of it? he is computer illiterate and does not really have access to one. If anyone knows anything about it send me a PM. yet again, great stuff Jimiclark.Peace the kid

you sure sound like a Deadhead to me... Welcome to the dead.net bus!

Here is my Interview with Zion Rock Godchaux from Boombox: http://www.cincygroove.com/?q=node/185 BoomBox is producer/DJ Russ Randolph and singer/songwriter/guitarist Zion Rock Godchaux. This pair of dynamic artists uses their rich musical history and their vision of music and popular culture to deliver a style of music distinctly different from anything heard or seen in music today. This signature sound and show brings live music to a new, elevated level. Scott

(on the bottom something in reply to deadheadkid's comment, too, which might be fun to Hal R also) and maybe not the last verbal hug from the dead.net people. I signed in here in early January, about a week before my 52nd birthday. Never been to a Grateful Dead concert. And knowing that being a German, living in Germany is just a weak excuse for having missed them. So don't worry at all. Would have chimed in earlier, but I did not read and post that much during the last few weeks, mainly because I am downloading and burning CDs like nuts, after I got aware of the bittorrent universe. So now I am lucky to read all the posts in this forum, that are new to me, and add something. As a seasoned rookie (poet, percussionist & storyteller, too). That "liquid sound" thing is the real one to me. Music/lyrics can touch ones mind, soul or body. But the best is, when it gets through to this trinity of what we are. And that's what the Grateful Dead music/lyrics does to a lot of people. (In case you are interested, send me a PM ... click on my name on top of this post, wait until you can click on the "Send a private message" (or something like that) ... and then we might get into about some music that moves the two of us and exchange some of it. I know some good "water" aside the Grateful Dead and I am curious what you jounggun like, aside the Grateful Dead). deadheadkid wrote that "Sound is the spice of lLife" and the saying "in the beginning there was the sound" (bible) comes to mind. Which is the same as what hinduists and buddhists experience (and know) regarding the mantra OM ... And now imagine my wild yelling, dance and laughter (mind, soul and body involved), when I read that the core/big one in that mantra is the space between the O and the M ... which is silence/nothing. Where we all come from and will return to. And I'd liek to add that after marye wrote that "you sure sound like a Deadhead to me", you don't have to worry any more. And I completely agree with Hal, who wrote that you could use your name as your name. And take an old farts advice, check out the difference between (speakig out loud) "My name is Jimi Clark" and "I am Jimi Clark". Drown in/Dance on/Be a Ripple (lyrics by Robert Hunter), bro. andré

in light of recent news events, please visit www.savetibet.org and pass the information along to as many folks as you can. in a nutshell, china is trying to destroy tibet's culture and religion and hide this fact from the rest of the world. tibet is a country and a culture that actually practices "peace, love and compassion". please help any way you can. thank you
