    @ Life is a journey not a destination...
    According to the words over my high school entrance. this is not a contest, correct, more like a support group. Hi, My name is Holly and I'm a Dead Junkie, goin through withdrawls. Welcome to DA, we have a 12 step program. 1st step, Sarge pass the bone. Now when you're feelin' low And the fish won't bite You need a little bit o' soul To put you right You gotta make like you Wanna kneel and pray And then a little bit o' soul Will come your way Now when your girl has gone And you're broke in two You need a little bit o' soul To see you through And when you raise the roof With you rock and roll You'll get a lot more kicks With a little bit o' soul And if your party falls 'Cause there's nobody groovin' A little bit o' soul and It really starts movin', yeah! Now when you're in a mess And you feel like cryin' Just remember this little Song of mine And as you walk through life Tryin' to reach your goal Remember what I say 'bout A little bit o' soul And if your party falls 'Cause there's nobody groovin' A little bit o' soul and It really starts movin', yeah! A little bit o' soul A little bit o' soul A little bit o' soul Goodnight Daydreamers, Sarge and Merlin. Lesson #4 begins tomorrow... Sweet Dreams

    Can't get the last word in edgewise, can I? This is for you.....Ellie Mae..... Ain't no use to keep taking abuse From a friend who isn't kind A friend in need or a friend that you need Who can help you through the troubled times So reach on out and take a hold of my hand And let me know that your ready to go There ain't no dues and you can leave your blues behind And have a little peace peace of mind Give me some peace, Peace of Mind There comes a time when your friends go blind And thier words become diseased They threaten your life with the blade of a knife And set you down upon your needs Make no mistake for your very own sake Heres a little word for now Take off your shoes and let your thoughts be kind And have a little peace, peace of mind Peace Peace of Mind... make us feel better Some folks you find speak a mighty good line They charm you all the way They take you along on a sweet sweet song Then they steal your heart away But blessed be the one who can understand why People have to act that way Cause if I knew I wouldn't even want to say But have a little peace, peace of mind Give me some peace, Peace of Mind Everybody wants Peace, Peace of mind Peace Peace of mind All we need is some... Peace.

    Good to get out....clears the cobwebs.....Don't you agree? This is the fourth time that this song appeared here, not for lack of creativity, but because it's is such a fucking awesome song..... Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me round I feel numb - born with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun The less we say about it the better Make it up as we go along Feet on the ground Head in the sky It's ok I know nothing's wrong... nothing Hi yo I got plenty of time Hi yo you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passing of time Never for money Always for love Cover up and say goodnight... say good night Home - is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home - she lifted up her wings I guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from another Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time Before we were born If someone asks, this where I'll be... where I'll be Hi yo We drift in and out Hi yo Sing into my mouth Out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view I'm just an animal looking for a home and, Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me till my heart stops Love me till I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots Hit me on the head Ah ooh Good night Irene, Miami, Scranton PA and all the ships at sea.....

    @ That does the trick
    Hey Merlin, Arthur here...thanks for the lessons. The world gets to me... You poisoned my sweet water. You cut down my green trees. The food you fed my children Was the cause of their disease. My world is slowly fallin' down And the air's not good to breathe. And those of us who care enough, We have to do something... [Chorus:] Oh... Oh What you gonna do about me? Oh... Oh What you gonna do about me? Your newspapers, They just put you on. They never tell you The whole story. They just put your Young ideas down. I was wonderin' could this be the end Of your pride and glory? [Chorus:] I work in your factory. I study in your schools. I fill your penitentiaries. And your military too! And I feel the future trembling, As the word is passed around. "If you stand up for what you do believe, Be prepared to be shot down. " [Chorus:] And I feel like a stranger In the land where I was born And I live like an outlaw. And I'm always on the run... And I'm always getting busted And I got to take a stand... I believe the revolution Must be mighty close at hand... [Chorus:] I smoke marijuana But I can't get behind your wars. And most of what I do believe Is against most of your laws I'm a fugitive from injustice But I'm goin' to be free. 'Cause your rules and regulations They don't do the thing for me [Chorus:] And I feel like a stranger In the land where I was born And I live just like an outlaw. And I'm always on the run. And though you may be stronger now, my time will come around. You keep adding to my numbers, and you shoot my people down. [Chorus:] (3 times)

    @ Breath of Fresh Air
    I had to go for a walk and get some air. The University proveds great green spaces as they recognize the human need for such. The trees in the breeze can usually make it ok. It has been too long since Matt and I went hiking, over a month now. It has been too hot and the woods are full of ticks and chiggers right now to even attempt it. I guess we will go to a local festival in September called Schwagstock, this is #46 for them. The schwag are a Dead tribute/cover band who do a really good job. The festival is at a river outfitter called Ozark outdoors. Also in September is the STL Cardinals Dead tribute night where you get a t-shirt with all the dates the Dead played in St. Louis. And on the front is a Stealie with the cardinals logo on it. Hopefully Dead and Co come to the Midwest. Maybe they will gain other members too... I started working in orthopedic oncology one year ago and I think it is starting to take its toll.

    Cabinet
    Yes, I agree Cabinet's good, I went to school with Jamie, the drummer. I have been seeing them for quite some time now. They also have their own festival Here on Montage Mt. in May, called the Susquehanna Breakdown. You should give it a whirl next spring. It's quite good! Like a Bluegrass festival feel to it. My daughter played at it the first two years representing Marley's Mission.I shot video of her as well as Cabinet's set and Terrapin Flyer's set last year, however, I haven't had a chance to synch the audio with the video yet. I know the Dead tickets aren't available yet, but that doesn't seem to bother the secondary market, as they already have them listed. I will try to obtain tickets for my family and keep Phil in my back pocket as plan B. I hope you are correct about the tour/ Wilkes Barre possibility. And Buffalo would be ideal for you. I did read where Bobby was quoted as saying it was late in the year to try to pull a tour together, but that's what they were going to try to do. I wonder how much will be East Coast?

    Tix are not available yet and to my knowledge, aside from private boxes there which are licensed, the only presale will be AmEx on 8/10... I did hear a ticket limit of 4 though, so I would not guarantee 5 in a row....Mayer is not my fave either, but think he would fit the bill for the show....me thinks if they tour though as reported they will hit Wilkes Barre and Buffalo as prior dead tours did....they are markets that will sell out.... Enjoy Peach Fest.....was there in 2011 and had a mighty time....ABB, Mule, Trigger Hippy and TTB in particular...but Cabinet was outstanding as a newcomer.......

    Here we go again
    Stubhub already has the MSG tix listed for up to $5,000.00 each for 100 level. Holy smokes will it never end? I want to take my kids to this one as it is only a 2+ hour drive from home and my daughter specifically asked me to go, but that means 5 tickets together. I already have a pair of Phil tix for Halloween and the night before, so I thought about selling the Halloween tix and buying MSG for the entire family, and maybe just Jill and I going to Phil on the 30th. I hope I can get 5 MSG tickets together. I'm not a John Mayer fan and would actually rather see Phil, however my daughter heard about the show and asked me to take her. As she put it "John Mayer is my future husband, he just doesn't know it yet." Ahhh Teenagers,..I can hardly take her and not my two boys. I'm not looking forward to the spinning wheels and que's again!!!! Thanks for letting me vent. Sorry I've been out of touch as of late, just busy trying to get back to reality and now it appears I may be in for another dose of Hilarity! Good luck to any and all who may be trying to get tickets. Until then if anyone from the spreadsheet is going to Peachfest next weekend in Scranton, Pa. drop me a line. There's a few nice deals on tickets for that on Cashortrade.org. All my contact info is on the SSDD Spread. Love you guys and gals.

geopondermeister hit a home run. He's a masterful facilitator that always brings things back together and makes since of it all. Much like Sam Elliot's narration on the Big Lebowski. No one means to pee on The Dude's rug. It ties the room together.

I haven't been here for a while, but if the mayor is still Klang, he passed on the Dear Jerry tix as he was already offered them. The kind soul passed the gent with the extra onto me, I accepted and then life got in the way... Peace

not having caused enough trouble for one day i will add this tidbit. FB is abuzz about a cryptic announcement of an announcement. A DJ on KFOG this evening said an announcement is coming friday. i research such rumors because i have nothing better to do with my time. three unrelated people confirmed hearing it. no one had the exact wording but the announcement may be about added shows or just the simulcast details. either way- a DJ from the stationed messaged me and confirmed to tune in at noon on friday for the 'announcement'. i hate to spread rumors but lack of definitive answer is what drove dear klang mad. maybe we will have those answers on friday. i for one will be tuned in at noon.

Rough night last night, T-Horse kept hogging all the blankets. Shopping for a wagon as the sound system got too big for T-Horse. Couldn't get the speaker placement just exactly perfect. Starting to resemble The Wall of Sound. Gotta remember to turn it down a little as we pass by towns on our way to Chicago. 100% Fishhead Music.

I like the idea of using a wagon and trailer. T-Horse is claiming it's customary for the rider and horse to switch off.Is he right? Says all he eats is Spaghetti-O's and canned chili. How many cans do I feed him? I don't think I can believe everything he says. He's only been here one day and has everything screwed up.

"Thanks For The Information". McKenzie Bro's are an excellent source for informational " how to" videos. Check em out on you tube. Hi boo, this horse never stops talking. He's fluent in six languages. Claim's he's the inspiration behind "The Most Interesting Man In The World" commercials. Seems he drinks way too much beer for that to be true.

Just got a great idea. We can all gather at Klang's place. Have huge bon fires, play music all night. RRRRGRRR can whip up some of his world renowned breakfasts. Anyone know if Klang has a pool. Oh well, it's California, surely some of his neighbors do. T-Horse says he has some swim trunks. Ah, this is gonna be epic. Klang's gonna love it!!!!

Santa Clara will be announced tomorrow. Shhhhhh. Don't tell Klang,it's a surprise. First a surprise party at his house and now this. Is this July 'cause it sure feels like X-mas! Really, tomorrow. Be ready Klang in case tickets go on sale immediately. I can't bare to witness another shut-out. Unfortunately all my money is spent on pre and post parties in Chicago.

Let's roll with Dead Lurches. They wrote some original material. "Tweets" will be their encore. Original lyrics sung to the tune of Fluffhead (Phish). Bill will be bouncing his balls (around the room, obviously). He's a closet Phish-head. It's well documented.
