    BADGER!!!
    i know there is some awards or something topic somewhere, but I forgot where and I'm too lazy to look... BUT I nominate our very own Cosmic Badger for crreating the BEST POST EVER and FRIGGING FUNNIEST POST EVER award!!!! re-printed here WITHOUT permission: On March 18th, 2009 cosmicbadger said: "making the perfect Martini ......the thing is that when Galileo decided that the earth went round the sun he was thinking in the same way that Timothy Leary did except in a different dimension many years later..this thought occurred to me while I was inventing a new recipe for beef stroganoff during the brief period that I worked as a sous-chef under the Great Escoffier. I tend to find that I have many thoughts like this especially when I am in the presence of the many great people who have crossed my path during their lives..but I digress. I think it may be something to do with my genes that, as the great Darwin said, ensure that only the fittest survive...but of course that depends on what you mean by survival..it could be in the literal sense, but me personally, I like to consider survival as a metaphysical extension of my id..in that way I suppose that I am a sort of renaissance man but transported somehow to the present day. In this way I can very much relate to that wonderful Grateful Dead song ..how does it go...'my time coming any day don’t worry ‘bout me no’ ..of course I met the great John Perry Barlow once, or rather my Albanian nephew met someone who knew him on a chairlift on a skiing holiday in Venezuela..talking of which, that Hugo Chavez is quite a dude I should say..sticking it to Uncle Sam the way he does, but as for myself I have been rereading the writings of Sir Oswald Mosely; if you read his words carefully as I have done you might find that he has more truths to share with us all than some would have you think. Well as I have always said “you can’t have too much of a good thing” so I ‘ll be sure to let you know some more of my thoughts on this and other matters real soon. Peace y’all." On March 18th, 2009 cosmicbadger said this!!! just thinking of the title makes me laugh. thanks man, I'm gonna Cheerfully Chuckle all night. peace.

And now CC's gone Now CC's gone, Lord he's gone CC's gone Going where the there is no rain at all On a dry farm until fall Dug one well, made a ditch The muscles in his back are starting to bitch Again, CC's been drinking, out on a binge No reason why, but just on a whim Now he is shitfaced, on a plane Flying away, he's just in-sane And now CC's gone Now CC's gone, Lord he's gone CC's gone Ooh, one day CC's gonna be back Ooh, one day CC's gonna be back Ooh, one day CC's gonna be back

I've thought about this situation on and off today with numerous different feelings / reactions and I'm going with my old standby: "You can only be a victim if you admit defeat" - Thats a line from a Descendents tune. The title of that song could be "Coolidge" but I'm not certain. Either way, the point remains that you and you alone are in control of how other's actions react with you. Its not the same thing as being "thick skinned". Its actually more like empathy. You need to step inside of his shoes for a minute and you'll probably find that you pity him much like Frodo and Bilbo pitied Smeagol. Face it, he made a deliberate attempt to mess with you and, to be perfectly honest, if I was looking at houses and I stumbled into a GD shrine complete with GD being played and posters, etc. I'd mess with the heads, too. Basically, because I'd have the understanding that deadheads are typically kind of out there and open to all kinds of kooky possibilities. However, I definitely wouldn't have made light of the passing of Jerry Garcia (rest his jammin' soul) out of respect for the heads in question. Yep, he did that to be a jerk and he succeeded, but we should all be laughing at his lack of understanding of the music. Which, while I'm philosophizing and quite loquacious, I'll add that deadheads are a potential turn-off for me sometimes. I just wanna hear the notes played. The kind of maniacally obsessive religiosity that some heads exude is simply too much for me at times. (some of you reading this may be in this category, but, for real, I mean no offense!) But hey, thats me. In fact, watching some of the footage of their shows lessens the musical effect for me, sometimes, but when I just put my ears on, well, shoot, I could listen for ages on end. I should shut up...now. | Wait until the veil is shredded, then reveal it |

thanks. that tattoo on that site is BAD. almost as bad as the one my dad got during his mid life crisis. the artist i was going to go to is on par with chris garver and had been featured in international tat magazines. turns out the age limit isnt 16 in ireland, and my dad wont give permission. I was thinking of getting a syf, as my second. my first i want to get as my 18th birthday gift at the famous miami ink.Peace, The Kid

yeah..miami ink are great,but the best on any good tatoo is that it comes out of your mind and phantasies and whatever,and than the guy making your tatoo becomes an artist..because he is able to get together your imagination and make it real with his handcraft.CC the one whos gone was pretty right,dont let yourself cover with black cats!:-)(-:

Cheryl Crow video called "Out Of Our Heads" a pretty cool song and they show Jerry in it giving a peace sign :) right after these lyrics...Every man is his own prophet Oh every prophet just a man I say all the women stand up, say yes to themselves Teach your children best you can Let every man bow to the best in himself We're not killing any more We're the wisest ones, everybody listen 'Cause you can't fight this feeling any more, oh anymore If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads And into our hearts Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your Tears and look to your heart

I just received the news the Philly Spectrum will be demolished early next year and be replaced with a mall and restaurants. "And the times they are a-changin". It was my home venue through high school in the 80's. A lot of good memories will go down with that building. The most memorable was in 1986. I was normally a hallway dancer, but this show I dug my way to about the 4th row in between Phil and Bob and and saw first hand Jerry lose touch with himself and his guitar totally took over his body. It was a Morning Dew out of space and Jerry did not look like the pillar of health coming out after drums. He was sweaty and shaking, but kicked into the most soulful rendition of Dew that I ever witnessed firsthand. (I believe it was my 1st Dew too). His guitar played him....I was convinced. I had tears in my eyes for the first time at a show. I was so blown away. Dew ended and the Band went off the stage. I didn't really comprehend the show was over, until the faithful in Philly started booing the Dead post encore. THE BOO'ed the DEAD. I was flabergasted. Never before and never again. Never a dull moment. I will miss the Filthy Spectrum.
