    Hey now, Mr Pid, Perhaps if you had read my entries a bit more carefully before commenting you might not have missed this most important point, and I quote: "If you first increase the font sizes relative to the Sun,. Moon and Earth, and then draw a few lines through the figures, you should see how that might work." The key word here being "relative" which accounts for the different radius of each body. The other thing you really have to do is to consider everything in two rather than three dimensions: Three-dimension based objections don't really work against two-dimension based models, or mobiles, as the case may be.

    Eclipse, or
    Brain Damage? No matter, it's all dark anyway. There are a couple of problems with you model here. First, the Sun, Moon and Earth have vastly different circumfrences, and different distances between them. During a total solar eclipse as seen from Earth, the relatively small Moon appears to be able to briefly but almost completely obscure the vastly larger Sun simply because it is so much closer to us. And that period of totallity does not occur everywhere on Earth simultaneously, simply because the Moon's shadow (specifically the umbra) is much smaller around than the circumfrence of the Earth. If someone was standing on the surface of the Sun observing Earth during one of those eclipses, they might notice the dark dot of the Moon crossing in front of the Earth, but they might not. The Moon is almost as far away from the Sun as the Earth. Of course, they'd first have to solve that whole avoiding being crushed by gravity while being incinerated thing. Jupiter has many more moons than Earth and is readily observable. It seems likely that there would be some sort of solar eclipse happening somewhere there almost constantly, but you don't hear much about them. It would seem a safer sandbox for testing out your "what does an eclipse look like from the other side" posit. Ditto Mars, although it only has two moons to test with. Guess I picked the wrong seven weeks to not have internet access. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever decide to quit sniffing glue... *mollomed

    Final Thoughts...
    You know, if the Sun, the stars, the Moon and all of the planets really are just two-dimensional when it comes right down to it, then perhaps Dylan was right all along when he first observed that we may indeed be: Stuck Inside of (this) Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again.

    Hubble, Hubble, Toil and Trouble...
    I've come to the conclusion that Hubble, though he was correct in noticing that the Universe appeared to be expanding infinitely, was wrong in using a Big Bang to explain the expansion: Hubble was partly wrong about the Universe's expansion, which has galaxies all racing away from each other. Instead of the entire Universe expanding, what is expanding is the Interplanetary Magnetic Field produced by this worm hole we call the Sun, which acts as a wide-angle gravitational magnifying lens. What we perceive as increasing separation is really nothing more than increased magnification. This is a much simpler explanation for the expansion Hubble observed, but it also means that we may have no idea how far away these galaxies really are until we're someday able to either observe from some point beyond the influence of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field, or grind the proper telescope lens to correct our presently compromised vision. This also means that the Big Bang is no longer necessary because the entire theory depends upon and was built upon the Universe expanding indefinitely such that at some point in Time all galaxies would essentially be alone with nothing but space and darkness in between. Not a pretty picture, but also, thankfully, false. The Wiki link below has an excellent artist's depiction of the IPMF, and also a nice animated display of the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field with that of the sun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_magnetic_field We are looking through at least two of these fields, maybe more if you count the folds and ripples, whenever we view galaxies far, far away...and as the field grows like an evolving wide-angle lens, so is the distortion magnified. So what role does Earth's field play in all this? Perhaps that of a corrective lens which keeps the objects in our vision field in focus while the rest kinda fades off into the background. Works on the micro scale with my glasses and camera, so why not on the macro? So in conclusion, as I see it, my theory does these four basic things: 1. Removes the necessity for thermonuclear reactions inside the sun, or any other star for that matter, to explain the heat and light. 2. Explains why the sun's interior (because it really has no core) is cooler than the exterior as the heat is dissipated by the worm hole. 3. Removes any necessity for a Big Bang. 4. Explains the observed expansion of the Universe in terms not nearly so drastic or pessimistic. Anyway, it's something to think about! Thanks to all who read this stuff...and most especially, thank you, Grateful Dead, for giving me a forum to post it. Peace. Byrd

    Three Dimensional Time: Back to Where it All Began
    Time, in this solar system we perceive, begins, began and continues from the essentially dimension-less, point-less plane of the event horizon of the worm hole we call the sun and spreads out just like an expanding bubble. And since we here on Earth are also inside of that 3D bubble with our own magnetic force field or shielding, we are like a bubble within a bubble – another 3D layer or distance - that Time must both cross and go through – hence the tic, followed by the toc. The heartbeat of Time as we know it begins at the two-dimensional drumhead of the event horizon, which reverberates through Earth’s magnetic shield like a sonar ping: tic. Passing through Earth’s shield after being warped a bit here and there, it encounters and reverberates through what is possibly the most formidable barrier in existence: our own incredibly thick skulls: toc. The event horizon before us continues its daily bombardment of our planet with the constant tic of the solar wind, but what we hear is the toc. Our atmosphere effectively keeps us one toc behind Universal Worn Hole Time, something like two men facing each other endlessly trading slaps, until you put one of the guys on a box and the slaps, executed along the exact same trajectories as before, become a handshake. I suspect it’s more like a flexible balloon bubble than a fragile soap bubble, because Time expands exponentially from the observer’s perspective, as evidenced by our observation that all galaxies are racing away from each other as knots on a stretched elastic cord. Time, as such, collapses if this bubble breaks; if you leave the bubble somehow or it is just snatched away as it deflates while flying across the room; or if the bubble someday collapses in upon itself while giving us all a giant slam-the-door, this-book-is-history, collective, swift kick from behind! So the clock as we know it strikes zero when crossing through the worm hole – essentially stripped of all matter right down to your Higgs boson designer jeans as you pass first through two dimensions and are finally squeezed through the infamously fabled needle’s eye of one dimension, if you get the point, where even your fancy new jeans are left behind! And where do we end up? Who knows? Another Time completely, depending upon the...star...?! And will there be another big bang as this song ends? Again, who knows, because by then we'll already be well on our way into a new Song, and it's in a different key... I suspect it works something like that… I think I just gave Mickey Hart the two biggest drumheads in the neighborhood to play with! Probably need some tuning though... Wonder what would happen if someone were able to organize and synchronize the biggest drum circle ever to the same harmonic resonance of something like the aurora borealis - a planet drum, so to speak. That might be pretty cool. It's kinda like establishing a handshake with the universal clock... Don't suppose anyone has something like a planet drum laying around anywhere? Maybe even some recording stuff… I pretty much stick to acoustic guitar…. But to answer your primary question, our music absolutely goes with us because this quality called Mind is a really big, often ignored, yet absolutely integral part of this whole equation: It's a Mind over matter thing. :)

    Letters between myself and SDO have proved absolutely useless.

    Well, what do you know?! I have a nearly pristine, absolutely reasonable facsimile of a Planet Drum right here in my cd files. Who would a'thunk it!

    Standing on the Moon: Reflections of My Life in Marmalade
    Perhaps this might explain the jam we're in: Good song, by the way, and the graphics on this old analog, black and white video give excellent representations of my ideas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnbY089cQlw If you think of optics in two dimensions, something like a contact lens, with due consideration for curved space, reflection- which apparently shows us the exact opposite of whatever stands before it - and refraction which distorts, you might see how Earth could easily be hidden in a blind spot as viewed from the Sun, and as you can see if you count each concave and convex curvature, there's an unbalanced 3 to 4 ratio between the object and the perceiver. Nice place for a problem to hide unnoticed, by everyone except maybe Jimmy Buffett, because apparently, we're all - Livin' and Dyin' in 3/4 Time: ()-------------()---------------((--------------() Sun............Moon.............Earth........Our eyes The moon looks smaller because we're looking both through and into what essentially is a telescope's eyepiece. With our smaller moon in relation to both however, the curvature of the lens is more pronounced than either the Earth's or the sun's. As such, the moon's convex curvature facing Earth might well effectively both block us completely from view from the sun's perspective and, also convex on the side facing the sun, distort the sun's perception of Earth. Remember that all three bodies are two-dimensional convex lenses, so the light we perceive is always in some form of convection, contraction and refraction, while the stuff we never see is either directly reflected or absorbed into the opaque. If you first increase the font sizes relative to the Sun. Moon and Earth, and then draw a few lines through the figures, you should see how that might work. Another way to consider this in two dimensions is to add a third blip to one side of a Pong game which always covers the blip behind it. The light from other blip would never reach the one left behind, who is now little more than a spectator. I don't know if there's a rhythm to this process, but on the quantum level we know that conditions exists where electrons exchange orbits, so I don't see any reason that same principle can't be applied to the macro level I'm working on here. This might explain why we have both solar and lunar eclipses: There may be a quantum shift occurring between the Earth and the Moon that we've somehow failed to notice., so that their orbits through space in unison look like the numeral 8 - which if turned on its side, is also the symbol for infinity. Peace, Byrd So now, marye, I'll join you in saying: To infinity and beyond!

Hey, so a shout out here to Oroboros who sent me some discs! Oh but wait, there's more! He sent a copy of an Egypt program from the show at zee Pyramids as well. Incredible! Haven't gotten through all of it yet music wise, but I am currently enjoying 7-5-78 which so far has the best Estimated Prophet I've ever heard. Just blows me away completely and the Eyes that follow has some weird tempo shifting going on but it is still nice. This show has been such a treat that I looked it up on the archive: 07-05-1978 At the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, NB A reviewer there said that the pitch was off...the tempo does seem up a bit from the CD's I have but I'm having a hard time telling if it makes that much difference. Beyond worth a listen and thanks Tim! | I'm just a, well...porpoise. |

Well, my wife and I just returned from our summer vacation this past weekend. Bonnaroo was a lot of fun. After Bonnaroo, we drove and camped though the Great Smokies and later through the Shenandoah Skyline Drive.Nice leisurely way to get back home! After the craziness of Bonnaroo, it was nice to hike in the mountains and relax by the campfire. My wife and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary last Monday with a campefire dinner and a late night bottle of wine around the fire, in the Great Smokies. A very good time. Last night we caught Dylan at Hershey. Not a bad way to wrap up our summer vacation if I may say so. Anyway, here's my recap of 'Roo: Thursday night's Tea Leaf Green show was killer, though I wish they would have played longer. String Cheese on Friday night melted my brain a bit. What a great band. It's a shame they're riding off into the sunset though...Railroad Earth is absolutely incredible! The singer/guitarist had this big ass smile on his face through the entire show; so did I! John Butler was great as was Michael Franti and Spearhead. At one point Franti jumped into the crowd and rocked out with us. Crazy. The 3 hr Govt Mule show on Saturday was definitely a highlight. Bob jamming with Warren on Sugaree was great. Ben Harper was awsome (John Paul Jones joined him for a ten minute jam of Dazed and Confused, which was cool because I missed the superjam as I was at the Cheese show). Richard Thompson was a suprise. He has a rockin' band. I love Vincent Black Lightning, and I was really impressed with his newer songs, in particular, "dad's Trying to Kill Me" a song written for the soldiers in Iraq. ("Dad" in this case, works on various levels). There were so many good shows man. Rodrigo and Gabriella are musicians I can't recommend higher. They absolutely floored me However, I was a little non-plussed by the Ratdog show on Sunday afternoon. I felt like Bob was holding back a bit. They did get into some nice groves and explore some interesting ideas during Throwing Stones, The Other One, and Franklin's Tower, but overall something seemed off. (Hell in a Bucket was awful). Well, I'm planning on seeing them later this summer with the Allman's so hopefully I'll enjoy that show more. It is nice to be back home though. Yo Soy Boricua!

Yeah, we had a great time at Bonnaroo as well. I took my wife and three "kids". I missed SCI 'cause I went to Super Jam and had my mind and face melted off. I really wanted to be in two places at once, on several occasions this year, more than other years (it's always an issue at Bonnaroo). Also missed most of Gov' Mule 'cause I was at The Flaming Lips show which was incredible! Was able to catch the very end of their jamming ass show but was exhausted from a day of standing in the hot sun seeing Ziggy and Ben Harper, up close with little or no support from my camp because they were resting up for The Lips and DJ Shadow. My wife brought in some water and frozen lemonade after Ziggy, which got me through Ben Harper's show. Did catch some of The Police but we got great "seats" for The Flaming Lips which exceeded our every expectations for a show, both musically and otherwise.Happy Anniversary to you and your wife. Ironically, we are celebrating our 25th all summer long with Bonnaroo being the big kickoff. See what good music can do! See what love will make you do???? Glad to see you're still with us, Leadbelly. The Dude Abides!

We passed the festival site on Thurs nite (14th) on our way to Florida. It appeared the police were turning all east bound cars (with obvious concert goers in them) away from the exits and making them continue east bound on the highway. I couldn't believe how many squad cars with flashing lights there were for what seemed miles past the actual site. How many towns over was it?

Thanks CC Joe, Skenisahen, and GRTUD. Yeah GRTUD, every year we have these little mini "crises" over whom to see at bonnaroo. We decided on SCI over super jam because this is SCI's last tour. They even busted out a little Keller Williams Incident for a Stayin' Alive>Best Feeling jam. You can download the SCI show from their website. We decided on the Mule show over the Flaming Lips because we'd heard rumors over the various guests Warren had planned. I know the Lips had like a flying saucer, but John Paul Jones on keyboards for a twelve minute "No Quarter" was epic. Happy anniversary to you GRTUD. Wow 25 years; that's great. Any tips for me on staying together for that long? I have already learned to defer on most issues to the wife; sure, I can quote Hannah Arendt, and have written dissertations on Aristotle and Hume, but she knows about finances and investing (basically a bunch of stuff I don't understand; if it were up to me we'd have all our money under the mattress :) ). I get main say on things like what films to see, what concerts to attend, and the best way to perform minor home repairs. I also kill bugs. I am in charge of killing bugs. It is a good life, and I am not forced to talk to the accountant. Yo Soy Boricua!

fillmore: The police (not The Police) had everyone go to the south/west bound side of I-24, which is the side the festival is on. We were diverted back to mile marker 127 (exits share the mile marker ID) which was about 14 - 16 miles from the venue. We made it in and were set up in about 3 hours compared to the approx. same situation in 2003 which took over 10 hours. Compare that to the experience at a "nearby" venue called Nissan Pavilion which takes over 4 hours to get into (normally an 1.5 hour drive) and several more, at least, to get out and I'd give the Tennessee locals fairly high grades for dealing with the situation @ Bonnaroo. Leadbelly: The conflicts @ Bonnaroo can really be difficult, for sure. This year I was more prepared to make the difficult decisions because I had already seen Keller Williams Incident @ Vegoose in October and the overwhelming vote in our camp was for Super Jam so I was in good company either way the Super Jam show went, which it went AMAZING!!! I have to say Super Jam was the best show I've seen in decades, in that genre of blues/psychedelic/skull fucking music!!! But I also knew it was probably my last chance to see SCI before Bill Nershi leaves the band. I really wished I could be in two places at once, for sure. Having seen Super Jam on Friday night, I was less worried about missing anyone that JPJ appeared with, EXCEPT Bob Weir, which my Outer World surveillance team informed me did not happen. I did catch an encore of "Dazed and Confused", with JPJ during Ben Harper's show, which was the best 10 mins. of his stand alone show. Clearly (and understandably) Ben was drained by the previous night's performance and subsequent practice sessions required for such a once in a lifetime show, as Super Jam. As far as The Lips - vs - Gov' Mule that was a bit tougher. I've seen Warren at least a half dozen times with Phil Lesh and once with The Allman Brothers Band @ Bonnaroo 2003 but I missed The Lips epic show that year @ Bonnaroo. The entire next day I had to hear from my son and nephew (both whom I told to go see these guys) what a great show they had seen (and I had missed). I did get a chance to redeem myself in 2005 when I saw an excellent Lips show @ All Good Festival but the weather sucked and I still wasn't satisfied. This year's show surpassed my every expectation! We blew off The Police's good but not great set to get up close for a show my whole family could feel coming, for daze! We were about 20 feet in front of the sound board directly center of the stage. Wayne and Co. historically set up their own equipment (which is way cool) and during some banter with fans they indicated they may start the show early. About 11 pm Wayne came out and said that they couldn't start early, in respect to other bands playing and what not (which was tongue in cheek BS) but they would do a "sound check" which led into a full fledged, sonic assault in the form of "War Pigs" complete with lasers, smoke and most importantly great music. It was the best cover of that song I've ever heard and it was apparent they were very tight! Then they went about their business as if nothing happened while 20,000 avid fans were ecstatic! The show they put on, which started shortly before midnight and lasted until about 3 am was incredible. They now have a full time drummer and their sound has gotten back to where it was several years ago when they were a 4 member band. The entire time this was going on, I knew I was missing another great show and another appearance by JPJ and Bob Weir. I did catch the end of Gov' Mule's show and an excellent "That's What Love Will Make You Do" which was way cool. And in typical Bonnaroo fashion for me, I was too drained to catch the DJ Shadow show which may have been the best of the weekend, according to my crack team of Other Worldly Experiences Surveillance and Reporting (they take over after 3 am due to Union issues). That in mind, I begin training for Bonnaroo 2008 next month. As far as what it takes to get 25 years of marital bliss under your belts, I can say it has been a bit of good luck in combination with hard work that has made our formula work. During a tough time for us, my step father gave us both these words of wisdom that have helped: Don't think of a relationship as a 50% - 50% scenario but rather 100% - 100%, that way you're always covered. If you end up with anything left over, you can always put it under your mattress. And if you follow that idea, you'll have a lot of good stuff going on top of the mattress as well, which also helps a whole bunch :) The Dude Abides!

being limited to saying thank you is a pretty good place to be, me thinks. I'm glad you liked the vids. de nada. anyways, when you have way too much free time on your hands, go to youtube.com do a search for just about anything you are interested in... you will be pleasantly (and sometimes unpleasantly) surprised at what is there. I searched for Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, etc etc. like google, the search techniques include putting things in " " or using a +Garcia or somestuff like that, but since people are putting new stuff up all the time, you really never know what you will find. one cool feature, if you find a VDO you like, you can look at all the VDOs by that user. example, the same guy who put up the vid of jerry ordering hotdogs put up a few more dead related stuff... sharing was always what this community was all about. peace.

Terrapin Flyer, Chicago's liaison to the spirit of the GD, will be performing two special shows on the day of birth and the day of passing of Jerry Garcia at the Kinetic Playground. The August 1st show will feature Wavy Dave from Cornmeal and Chicago jazz legend Pat Mallinger and the August 9th show will feature former Dark Star Orchestra bassist Michael Hazdra. Hope you can make it and if not help spread the good word!!! Dead to the Core www.myspace.com/bongwizard

hey everyone. just wanted to say I am having a great time with this site. I have met some really really cool people and feel like I am part of the family again. It is awesome and great and it makes me sad that i drifted away. with that said, I am really really really really enjoying the fan photos. I am especially digging the parking lot photos, crowd scenes, and pictures of people and their friends. i am trying to put some of mine up. I know alot of us couldnt be bothered to lug a camera around a show ( it was hard enough keeping track of shoes and car keys), so it is great to see photos I wish I had taken. I am trying to add some of my photos up. Sadly, I would say over 150 shows, i have about twenty photos from shows. wish i had more. im going to put up a photo soon in tribute to my datsun 510, covered with dead stickers, who willingly took me on all those road trips. i am rambling now, trying to look busy at work....

Stevie Ray with boobs? take that back! take that back, right now. ok, the 'kid' asked a serious question, so here is the serious answer: if you want studio stuff: Get: American Beauty Workinman's Dead Terrapin Station Shakedown Street for live stuff, first there is a TON of free shit here: archive.org or get any of the dick's picks. I am partial to the 'Brent' era; but that is another discussion. up to you. peace.

Thanks ccj I got american beauty and working mans dead. great albums, but i still gotta stick by shakedown street as my fave. couldnt find terrapin station though. Maybe get it from my aunt. Been away on sabbatical in maine. computers also been broken for about a month, but im getting a new one for my birthday i think. I would prefer a car, of course, but my parents are terrified of the idea of me driving. ;-)peace also, to anyone goiung up to maine who will be passing anywhere near freeport, checkout a store called cool as a moose. great store with some hilarious stuff as well as some cool people who hang out there. check it out.
