    stop me if I've gone too far...I can get carried away... I want to live, I want to give I've been a miner for a heart of gold. It's these expressions I never give That keep me searching for a heart of gold. And I'm getting old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old. I've been to Hollywood I've been to Redwood I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold. I've been in my mind, It's such a fine line That keeps me searching for a heart of gold. And I'm getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold. You keep me searching and I'm growing old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold I've been a miner for a heart of gold.

    Why thank you. Have yourself a good evening, pat Sarge on the head for me. There's colors on the street Red, white and blue People shufflin' their feet People sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it, any way I can. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand Under an old street light Near a garbage can Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life, and what she's done to it There's one more kid that will never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler, Machine gun hand We got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

    man, you guys have been married since I was 1 year old. CONGRATS! You musta done somethin' right for her to keep you around. Say hi to her from Matt and I. And to Junior as well. BTW how was his show the other night? Catch ya on the flip side Sometimes I feel like i am leaving life behind My hands are moving faster than the movement of my mind Thoughts and generations of my dreams are yet unborn I hope that I will find them 'fore my moving gets too worn If only I could live to see the dawning of the dawn So we go on moving trying to make this image real Straining every nerve not knowing what we really feel Straining every nerve ending and everybody sees That what they read in the Rolling Stone has really come to be And trying to avoid a taste of that reality On an early New York mornin' a mirror in the hall Showed to me a face I didn't know at all Lines were drawn around a pair of eyes that opened wide When I looked into the mouth there was nothing left inside So I walked into the little room and whistled like a sigh As dawn light closed around me my head was still in gear Thinking thoughts of playing more and singing loud and clear Trying to reach a friend somewhere and make that person smile Maybe pull myself away from that old lonesome mile That often comes to haunt me in the morning All my friends keep telling me that it would be a shame To break up such a grand success and tear apart a name But all I know is what I feel whenever I'm not playin' Emptiness ain't where it's at and neither's feeling pain Well now what is going to happen now is anybody's guess If I can't spend my time with love I guess I need a rest Time is getting late now and the sun is getting low My body's getting tired of carryin' another's load And sunshine's waiting for me a little further down the road

OMG folks....my guess is virtually all of our beloved and patient spouses are on that same bus. It was last week I think when Klang had a great idea that we should create a t-shirt for them. I ran it by my wife and she came up with this: "MY MARRIAGE SURVIVED THE FTW-GD 50th !!"

Steve welcome. my wife is along for 1 show. kids along for the rest. big debate whether wife should attend 4th of July...we "feel" this will be the rocking-est; or the Sunday shows, which "could" be more emotional. So far, she picked Saturday, anticipating US Blues and Jack Straw. Oldest son's job on Sunday is too keep me from completely melting down at the last song. Good luck with that, son. grrrr...what happened to your buh-wheat post?

Not sure how I feel about Mondays. "I like it, but it doesn't like me" or something similar to that Jimmy Stuart said in the best Philadelphia Story. Want to drop out but also want to patch those sails... I once heard that political correctness was invented by the right. Without making a judgement call on directional leanings, the nature of each make political correctness a farce and parody of itself. Nothing wrong with consciousness, inclusion, awareness, tolerance, and respect though. I'm all about that. I have ten fingers and ten toes and I miss/ed Jerry. My sister is not coming to Chicago but she's along for the ride in Santa Clara. I ask if she wants to come just Saturday or Sunday and - bless her heart - she says "I want to go Saturday. That way if I want to go Sunday too I can." She's got a spark of faith she do. Know telling how far she'll go down the road ;) "And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to" - Shovels and Rope Everyone get enough coffee? I'm tempted to make another pot.

Okay I am slow on the uptake but as I was reading about your wife's t-shirt idea - grate idea BTW -it finally hit me that when my husband is saying WTF?!?!? He is just spelling FTW backwards right? He is actually, subconsciously, calling on all Freudians here, expressing his joy about the shows! Am I right?

Cuz the vandals took the handles. When will we learn this never works. Just sucks and riding out the rage. This town had a chance for a few days to make a statement that would have been heard. There was a lot of sympathetic ears to the story of a young man dying in police custody with a broken back. Even the proper folk round here looked beyond a criminal record to see things went too far. All that gone. Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name

Bro, I hear you... From Ferguson to Baltimore, protesting is one's 1st amendment right; but looting and destruction of property are crimes. Extremely sad societal statement. Don't blame your great city - the issue is much, much larger.

Hey now brother, don't you be messin' with the Spectrum. Most famous and MOST PLAYED building in the entire east coast. We were nice enough to let you "up to Buffalo" folks even come down for a few shows :-) Sat row 2, sect 102 (dead center) for the last show in '09 (The Dead") with they unveiled the tie-die 53 banner in the rafters. What a moment.... If I had my way, I would tear this ole' building down... And with that they closed and after that came the wrecking ball on the old gal.

I've jumped thru the avatar hoops too, and the solution seems to be to do the following: 1) Remove picture from profile. 2) Do not add new picture. 3) Close your computer down. 4) Click your heels three times. 5) Turn your computer on again. 6) Wait 48 hours. 7) Add profile picture. It appears there are avatar gremlins and trolls lurking about, and they quickly replace all new pictures with the old one. The trick is to wait a couple of days, using no picture at all when you post. When you finally do log on and decide to add the picture, the gremlins and trolls have partied, slept, have awoken with groggy minds, and have forgotten about the old picture, allowing your new picture to appear in its rightful place. Good luck...btw, Item #4 is not mandatory, but if it feels right, do it anyway. Disclaimer: Void where prohibited, not valid in states with snow, results may differ, and objects in mirror may be closer than you think...allow 46 weeks for delivery. all the best....and good luck geo

Peace and prayers go out to those in chaos. Don't understand the mindset of destruction of property and disruption of innocent lives to make a point "against" the establishment. You are defending the rights of individuals against such crimes by committing worse crimes. Senseless! Violence begets violence. When will people ever learn...(super sad)
