    So, we've all had some great conversations interrupted by that misbehaving chatroom lately. Mr. Pid wrote a great song on the subject...

    Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.

    doesn't mean that we aren't heads if we don't discuss them 24/7 in the chatroom either. Everybody's got their own story to tell. The music is the common thread, but we are all unique-Thank Goodness!!! Methinks that folks with no life of their own are more inclined to resort to Deadhead snobbery.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

    The dead is a personal thing and has been a part of my life for over 30 years that dosnt make me better than some one who got on the bus last week or more deserving, we are hearing the same thing yes.I despair gonz never thought id say the words deadhead and snobbery in the same sentence but there you go.Lifes for learning.

    it may be just that the dead is a very personal thing with people but the 'hipper than thou' attitude - typified by the words "old school" - is definitely out there turning off a lot of otherwise friendly people. say a prayer for the tragically hip (not the band), they really need it...

    My 19 year old son has been to 15 or 20 shows, from age 6 months to 4 years, but doesn't remember much before the "Furthur Festivals" after Jerry's passing. But he proudly wears my tie-dyes and has some of his own Dead tapes and cd's....where does that put him?....ain't no wannabe's here...we all love the music, or we wouldn't frequent this website, but you are right, ripple, there do seem to be some snobs and I won't point fingers cuz some folks just take things the way they want to take them and they may or may not be delusional...hmmm.....do the spammers count?

    So the story so far as i understand it........ Lady gaga assisted by her army of sad,drunken flying monkeys has stolen the chat room and sold it to Donald tramp am i correct in thinking this? I have to pick up on what dancingsinginggirl has posted what we have here is deadhead snobbery and i am sad to see it i am in wales in the uk and have been to 3 shows does this mean no chatroom for me cos i havent seen them 50 times.Is it not our duty to pass this on to the young that are interested enough to look in here or does it stop when we stop.If you dont like some one DONT TALK TO THEM simple as. Teach your children well.

    the emotional support and caring and sharing going on in the chatroom. Reminds us that we are family and not alone. And I 2nd Mona and Johnman-sharing with the ones who are too young to have seen shows, or too broke, or on the wrong continent, is a good thing! ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

Shutting down the chat room sure has livened up the forums. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

That's funny, I saw Central's comment about ol' Nurse Ratched & looked up the movie. I've never seen it before. Only read the book. Can't go wrong with Jack. How's your tile coming along?

I'll always take the book over the movie bc then you can envision the story yourself. What really gets me is when they change things for the movie. I understand for time etc... but important parts. Man, that burns me up! Not saying Hannibal is on the same scale as Cuckoo, but when they made Hannibal they totally changed the ending. ?!? Oh well, that's Hollywood for you. :-)

Yes, when I was very small . The main difference I remember is The Emerald City.Originally, the glasses with green lenses made the city emerald. I do love the OZ movie & Return to Oz for that matter. In Return they send Dorothy to the nut house. Ever seen The Never Ending Story? LOVE that movie. Never read the book, there's probably one out there though. I must watch Cuckoo this weekend! Thanks Kindly. Have a nice evening. Maybe the chatroom will be ready tomorrow. PEACE

aren't most books better? Even sequels fall short in almost every case. Kesey's is a classic. Love the Big Indian myself. Our old school nurse WAS nurse Ratchet...a scary chick indeed. Warm and heading up to 72 degrees tomorrow in Philly! Have a good evening to all. (even JC) Ami

If you're going to San FranciscoBe sure to wear some protest banners in your hair If you're going to San Francisco You're gonna meet some angry people there For those who come to San Francisco Summertime will be a Chinese olympic protest there In the streets of San Francisco Pissed people with signs in the air All across the nation such a strange vibration People in motion There's a whole generation with a new explanation People in motion people in motion For those who come to San Francisco Be sure to wear some emblems on your shirt If you come to San Francisco Summertime will be a demonstration there If you come to San Francisco Summertime will be a rally there
