@ Fantasy

To find that song I watched a youtube video with a family home movie at disneyland...kinda funny to pair with the song... Did you say gypsy? So I'm back, to the velvet underground Back to the floor, that I love To a room with some lace and paper flowers Back to the gypsy that I was To the gypsy... that I was And it all comes down to you Well, you know that it does Well, lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice Ah, and it lights up the night And you see your gypsy You see your gypsy To the gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little fear I have no fear, I have only love And if I was a child And the child was enough Enough for me to love Enough to love She is dancing away from me now She was just a wish She was just a wish And a memory is all that is left for you now You see your gypsy You see your gypsy Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice And it all comes down to you And it all comes down to you Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice And it all comes down to you I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes And it all comes down to you I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes And it all comes down to you I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes (She was just a wish) (She was just a wish) And it all comes down to you Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice And it all comes down to you

@ Gypsies, Supertramps and thieves....Lunatics and hikers

Reality is way overrated....Monday has come around again I'm in the same old place With the same old faces always watching me Who knows how long I'll have to stay Could be a hundred years Of sweat and tears At the rate that I get paid Sometimes I slowly drift away From all the dull routine That's with me every day A fantasy will come to me Diamonds are what I really need Think I'll rob a store, escape the law And live in Italy Lately my luck has been so bad You know the roulette wheel's A crooked deal I'm loosing all I had Soon be like a man that's on the run And live from day to day Never needing anyone Play hide and seek Throughout the week My life is full of romance Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy That's the way it's got to be From now on You think I'm crazy I can see It's you for you, and me for me Living in a fantasy From now on

@ up with the sun

Boy howdy do we have some early risers here on da dus. Thanks for the coffee and for seeing me through...all of you! We keep this crew ship shape and I couldn't ask for better shipmates than yous guys! @ Stella my soul sister, we'll keep rockin out together virtually until we can rock out together live! Music soothes my soul and a perfectly timed tune can create such magic! and on that note here is Good Bye Stranger: It was an early morning yesterday I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle Like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover And I must be moving on Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an achor Like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies Sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye strange it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behavior That'll never bother me Say the devil is my savior But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger it's been nice etc...

@Thursday morning....

As promised a new pot of Philz Silken Splendor....Extra mugs.... and on K DED.....a little Nat King Cole for your listening pleasure.... Sarge let them snooze..... You're the cream in my coffee You're the salt in my stew You'll always be my necessity I'd be lost without you You're the starch in my collar You're the lace in my shoe You'll always be my necessity I'd be lost without you Most men tell love tales And each phrase dovetails You've heard each known way This way is my own way You're the sail of my love boat You're the captain and crew You'll always be my necessity I'd be lost without you You're the sail of my love boat You're the captain and crew You'll always be my necessity Like a restaurant with a recipe You're the lace in my shoe I'd be lost without you

Good Times Bad Times...

Holly Briver has my number - from posting American Girl on June 29 as I packed my bag next the crashing waves of the 101 - to posting Dancing in the Moonlight around the time I was listening to that song and painting a new self-portrait... Sigh - a happy one. A slightly melancholic, un-lonely one. We are Real Americans. We are the True Patriots, loving this land - the Earth, knowing that this land is your land and mine <3 helping those around us in need - as much as they'll let us. And we've had our share of horror and loss. And yet... we sing and dance and love, and around here, it all rolls into one. Figures that just as I finally get my website up and ambling slowly down a sidewalk, I also finally log into ssdd for the first time... It all rolls into one after all. Especially with Holly driving <3 I am happy to share good times and bad times with you girl. In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man, Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can. No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam. Good Times, Bad Times, you know I had my share; When my woman left home for a brown eyed man, Well, I still don't seem to care. Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be, Only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me. She swore that she would be all mine and love me till the end, But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oooh. Good Times, Bad Times, you know I had my share; When my woman left home for a brown eyed man, Well, I still don't seem to care. I know what it means to be alone, I sure do wish I was at home. I don't care what the neighbors say, I'm gonna love you each and every day. You can feel the beat within my heart. Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part.

@ bon soir

Feeling better now that the day is done. Good evening sirs and madames. See the curtains hanging in the window In the evening on a Friday night A little light shining through the window Let me know everything is alright, sing this song Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind Hear me sing, summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind See the paper lying on the sidewalk A little music from the house next door So I walk on up to the doorstep Through the screen and across the floor Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind Sing it, summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind, yeah When I come home from a hard day's work And you're waitin' there not a care in the world See the smile a waitin' in the kitchen Food cooking and the plates for two Feel the arms that reach out to hold me In the evenin' when the day is through Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind Here we go, summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind Come on, summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

@i haven't got time for the pain.....

Apologies to Carly Simon..... it gets better....it really does... Signing off with this sad tune on KDED..... She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee Just as her father came across the sea She heard about a place people were smilin' They spoke about the red man's way, and how they loved the land And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide Down in the crowded bars, out for a good time, Can't wait to tell you all, what it's like up there And they called it paradise I don't know why Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high Then the chilly winds blew down Across the desert through the canyons of the coast, to the Malibu Where the pretty people play, hungry for power to light their neon way and give them things to do Some rich men came and raped the land, Nobody caught 'em Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus, people bought 'em And they called it paradise The place to be They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina just like the missionaries did, so many years ago They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming" Brought the white man's burden down Brought the white man's reign Who will provide the grand design? What is yours and what is mine? 'Cause there is no more new frontier We have got to make it here We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds, in the name of destiny and the name of God And you can see them there, On Sunday morning They stand up and sing about what it's like up there They call it paradise I don't know why You call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye C'mon Sarge....been a long day.... Holly be well......Coffee is on me tomorrow.

@ just breathe

Yep, got it.... just one more for the record... then back to KDED's originally scheduled program... And it's true we named our children After towns that we've never been to. And it's true that the clouds just hung around Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral. And we were done, done, done With all the fuck, fuck, fuckin' around. You were so true to yourself. You were true to no one else. Well I should put you in the ground. I've got the time, I got the hours, I got the days, I got the weeks. I could say to myself I've got the words but I can't speak. Well I was done, done, done With all the circ, circ, circlin' round. I didn't die and I ain't complainin'. I ain't blamin' you. I didn't know that the words you said to me Meant more to me than they ever could you. I didn't lie and I ain't sayin' I told the whole truth. I didn't know that this game we were playin' Even had a set of rules. We named our children after towns That we've never been to. And it's true that the clouds just hunger around Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral. And we were laughing at the stars While our feet clung tight to the ground. So pleased with ourselves For using so many verbs and nouns. But we were all still just dumb, dumb, dumber Than the dirt, dirt, dirt on the ground. Well wings on flames, kings with no names, Well this place just ain't got right air right now. You were so all over town but still so Crayola brown. Well you should run 'round yourself right now. And we were done, done, done With all the fuck, fuck, fuckin' around. Circlin' round.

There It Is, You Got It Going Now

Now go out on your front porch and sing: Yeah, it's comin' 'long fine And there ain't no water 'round Well if your house catches on fire And there ain't no water 'round Throw the baby out the window Let the god dam shack burn down Come ti yi yippe Ti yi yippee yippee yay Come ti yi yippe Ti yi yippee yippee yay

Whazzat explained

Hi campers and camperettes- I've had three different kind folks bring up the fact that the Sunshine Daydream thread seems to be written in code, or that they can't quite get a handle on the issues being discussed. Please keep in mind that our Bus driver and resident wit is channeling the not only the spirit of the GD in their space-jams, but also the personalities of Jack Kerouac, Hunter Thompson, Neal Cassady and the allegorical spaciness inherent in those many years of special Kool-aid tests that Tom Wolfe wrote about so eloquently back in'68. The idea is for all of us to think "out-of-the-box" as we prepare for this grand reunion, or as some might say, just get out-there with it all (in a friendly way). Also, the Merry Pranksters took a bit of a bus ride back in '64, and the spirit of those sketchy fragmented experiences and stories, birthed during that journey, are also prevalent in the various comments we are all reading. As we get closer to our destination, please know that there may be a gradual increase in the number of posts that actually make sense, and will help to guide us to a safe landing. Until then, keep your tin-foil hats on with antennas pointed in the proper direction, tighten those seat-belts and enjoy the ride. For we are not just the best at what we do, we are the only ones that do what we do. cheers- Geo-the-voice-of-reason-meister

@voice of reason...

so that's what we're doing? Cool.... Hey you tie dye squirrel...back on the treadmill... take it if you need it if you don't just pass it on.... Rocket J Squirrel.....out!

Momma Told Me Not To Come

This place is going to get stranger, so let's get on with the show, let's go. Next up abstract references to Talking Heads lyrics.

It ain't necessarily so....

But ya never know... I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax, I can't sleep cuz my beds on fire Don't touch me I'm a real live wire.... Ya all better run, run, run, run, run away! I'm talking a lot but I'm not saying anything! Mr T......out

Here's Your Ticket, Pack Your Bag, Time For Jumpin' Overboard

Horse is calling the shots. It's his music I'm listening to now.

@horse

Reminds me of Mongo from Blazing Saddles....

There's a Lot of Simularities

Except Horse polished off the whole pot of chili and forced his way into the campfire scene. Don't know what to with him sometimes.

don't know what to do?

take it to the river. give it a good scrubbing

Keep The Faith Mayor

Sorry to here things are still a struggle. Everyone's still pulling for you. Got To Get Better In A Little While.

@Dudley

Derek and the Dominos > Grateful Dead....for me....blasphemy to most but honesty is best....said it b4 will say it again...in my life and my travels ...Layla and other assorted love songs rings my bell... Makes me wanna cry....

Stones Tickets

I got 2 tickets to the Stones at Arrowhead, which holds 70,000. Club Level 235 directly opposite the stage at the other end. Row 2. $268 each. Seems like a bargain, huh? Steve

@Steve

$117 here in the Buff brah....

Hot, Hot, Hot

Nice, the Stones. Start Me Up. Enjoy!!!

@rrrrgrrr

saw the Dead in '85 at Merriweather Post do "Keep on Growing" Bobby on vocals, not sure, it may be the only time they did it.

@boo boo

Think it was...I was there.... Lovin me tedeschi trucks... Second coming of mad dogs and Englishmen meet Derek and the Dominos..... There's a thorn tree in the garden....

have to step away for a while

The lack of a Santa Clara announcement, communication or even an acknowledgement of the possibility has driven me to depression. The lack of a response from the organization and its company/administration I consider seriously insulting. I'm taking a break from the day-to-day postings. Will check PMs and e-mails. Love you all, take care of each other...

so many

good memories, nothing left to doo....

Start me up

Just wanted to add my 2 cents, actually, 0.24 CAn, put it in the tip jar rereggrrr. Basically, thanks Geo for Keeping it real, and that's some Crazy horse James, just another canadian reference. Figure I bettter get it in before your avatar changes tomorrow. Is there a Dr. In the house? Klang is hanging on just barely.

zero

Throw another one in there, but who's counting?

@sweet Virginia

gotta scrape the shit right off your shoes.... @klang....it is what it is...Chicago or bust brah.... Don't abdicate the mayoral throne....Rob Ford wants in big time.... And If you want to you can lean on me....

@cain Smell The Horse

Horse has prohibited any future avatar changes. He has his CID package and he will be in Chicago. He will be at the front of the Pit, for his tickets are superior to mine. He is in absolute control of things on this end. It's all one long song.

@dudley

What's your horses name????? Call him Mr T....please gotta shake this persona....

New Klang theme song...

GDTRFB.... Godspeed, dude...this bus will still be rollin' if/when you decide come back. Until then, I'm outta gas bro trying to talk you down from off the ledge. All my lovin', Your Ringmaster. ps - many qualified SD peeps on the waiting list dying for name space on the back of our T so man-up and decide my friend - we "go to print" soon.

Cool By Him

Horse is his official stage name, verifiable on his website. But he's cool with "T" as a nickname. He's excited about the bling, but refuses to get a Mohawk. He just completed performing a masterful rendition of Bob Dylan's 115Th Dream with sunglasses on.

geo whazzat

I figured most of what you said is what's happnin but I'm still lost most of the time. it's all "teeth like baseballs, eyes like jellied fire"

@T horse....

He's a horse with T mane...thanks for takin the load off off me and put the load right on T..... Klang can have the bling..... Trade it for a ducat perhaps....

@ringmaster....

The bus came by and I got on... There was Mr T At the wheel on a bus to Never ever land...... Repeat after me.... I'm a deadhead and I miss Jerry.... Now in monotone all in unison ala David Gans... I know.... rrrrrrgrrrrr all in....

Rgggggggrrrrrrrr for Mayor

I nominate.

@beelzebubs brethren

sorry I brive a dus.... I nominate that Rob Ford supporter....Dorothy the meek... but thanks for the support.....

@briver

Maybe we should forego the mayoral election. Only leads to corruption and empty promises anyway. As long as the dus arrives ontime it's all good.

@#88

we don't need no stinking mayor..but the kid from TO would kick ass... I recommend Klang chime in....he still has the throne And yes the dus will always be on time......as long as I'm briving....

Brive us to the Jubilee

That acid reunion looks to be the Deal. (and hoping Kaner recovers in time to save us in the post-season)

All Down The Line

rrrrgrrrr always keeps this bus right on time and yet he manages to keep the destination a mystery. Or is it, we know where we're going but we don't know where we've been? Either way we are best off leaving the driving to him. He is the walrus!!!!

Whazzat Revisited: the Pic-I-Nic, the Mayor and the Horse

Not withstanding my earlier characterizations, and continuing the discussion, there are many ways one can view the thoughts and the happenstance responses that find their ways onto our fine Sunshine Daydream Home Thread. For instance, within the rambling stories that weave their collective ways through these fine forum threads, there is also a discussion, a sermon, a pleading, a dream, a dance, a song or three, and a reaching out. Whether it is from a Brother or a Sister or a Father or a Mother or a Daughter or a Son, it is real...or maybe not. But guaranteed, Somebody cares about Something, be it Real or Imagined, and they are letting all of us know. Turn up the Bass, Tune the Banjo, shut up during Space, I need a ticket, Who's on first, it's important, whatever it is. So we reads, and we posts, and we explore. We share. We anticipate, we plan, we rejoice and we get saddened....hopefully, the saddened moments are brief and fleeting, and if they are not, they are somewhat lessened by the comfort our family can give. We are fed, and we feed others. We are family. Sunshine DayDream: At Once a Thread, a Home, A Couch, A Bus, A Book, a Church, a Soapbox and Thank you very much rgrgrrgr, a dining room. A Pic-i-Nic? Certainly. over there, at the SE corner of the Buckingham Fountain, in that little grove of trees. Meet-ups start as soon as you can get there, and end after the last people say adios. Bring your own everything, and a bit more for your neighbor. A Mayor? We have several, they meet here. Not unlike the park bench over at the town square in Maintown, USA, populated with those Who Make The Important Decisions, they have this place. No one is in charge, each gets to be a blowhard as the baton is passed, and all issues are carefully pondered on before a proposal is offered or a decision is made. Each is a Mayor in His/Her own right. All of us get to drive, to give advice, to give directions or ask questions or provide answers or extend a helping hand or share an encouraging word. A Horse? Now that's another issue altogether. Hey you over there with your hand up...tell us about this horse deal. Film at Eleven...thanks for staying to the end....or is it.... PS I Miss Jerry too! geopondermeister
