    @cuz it's a family tradition....
    Country music singers have been a real close family,But lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me. I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction. Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition. They get on me and want to know Hank why do you drink? Why do you roll smoke? Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? Over and over everybody makes my predictions. So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old family tradition. I am very proud of my daddy's name All though his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same. Stop and think it over. Put yourself in my position. If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition. So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke? Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? If I'm down in a honky-tonk some ole slick's trying to give me friction. I said leave me alone I'm singing all night long it's a family tradition. Lord I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam And they both tried to kill me in 1973. When that doctor asked me, Son how did you get in this condition? I said, hey sawbones, I'm just carrying on an ole family tradition. So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink? Hank, why do roll smoke? Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? Stop and think it over, try and put yourself in my unique position. If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family tradition!

I am convinced 1/2 the staff are former, current, and/or closet deadheads or at least have affinity for the thoughts and feelings. WSJ weekend edition has probably had more articles on the d e ad in the last 20 yrs than rolling stone. although I stopped reading RS long ago. I discovered WSP many years ago via an article on their marketing practices being so close to the Dead's...incessant touring, free taping, loose controls on copyrighted images, etc. Etc. Or that may be anti marketing...anyway I have found WSJ to be sympatico. Ahhh the weekend. ... Golf, craft beer fest in Ft Worth On Saturday. Then on Sunday celebrate the wonderul mom of my 2 great kids.don't forget mothers day because Momma tried!

I think mostly Texas beers and aleS. North Texas has had quite a renaissance in craft brewing in the last 5 years as laws have caught up with rest of US. Deep Elum, Peticolas,community, Martin house....just a few of really good community of local brewers. Can't wait.

Yup....that and a Reeses Oreo gets the day off on the right foot.... Glad you liked it my friend... In my old age I've become both a music and beer snob.... Only keep SBD recordings...and only drink craft.... Unless it's free....then it's a free for all......Milwaukees best, beer 30, PBR, hell even Keystone... Boo have you gone to Beers of the World in that old Wegmans?

I am old!!!Yet agaiin it is a weekend night, and I am the only here!!!! Dark Star is playing 45 minutes away,.. right now,...and I am not there, because I am OLD!!!! I have to work tomorrow again,.....Responsibility is a Heeaavy Responsibility!!!!,....I Guess! Worse of all is the thought that "The Boys"are probably over here on the East Coast, or some of them might be,... anyway the possibilites of a "guest Appoearance" at Penn's Peak tonight, make me wish I had gone! I think I will definitely make an effort to get there tomorrow, fortunately it's their first two night run at the venue.

I've seen them dozens of times. But I'm going 7/2 in part for that reason - high probability of special guest appearances. Most of them (Donna included) have previously shown up as unannounced guests at one time or another.

I have seen them many times, which is in part, why I chose to work tomorrow, (It seems likely to happen again), but, I am regretting it fiercely!!! On Tthe other hand, think I may soon refrain from listening to Grateful Dead music all together until 6/27 so it will be that much bettter to hear it in a stadium!!! I know!!!! who am I kidding??? never gonna happen,..but I have contemplated.

a hop head as well as a Dead Head. I like fresh hoppy :) craft ale. Mostly from the Northern Coast of Cali, but SO Cal has come on strong in the last few years(STONE,SCULPIN,GREEN FLASH).

84 brews. several bands. food trucks. plenty of rain forecast. lots of Texas brews but also some European and other American breweries.Got 18 holes of golf in this a.m. between the raindrops. All in all shaping up to be a pretty, pretty good day. My son surprised me with 3-29-90 release. Branford Marsallis (sp?) guest on many songs. Really good...I actually had not heard so many with Marsallis before. I like it.

Don't make mine FARE thee WELL DONE.Had a little mother and son time today, he let me show him some grateful dead which is what I said I wanted to do With him "For mothers day" Showed him 20 minutes of the tie dyed documemtary and the opening animation of the grateful dead movie. my jaw dropped when he called it trippy (he's 12)! He asked lots of good questions like what was the wall of sound, where did the band get its name, and what were the acid Tests. Best Mother's Day- ever.

Stranger stopping strangers. Just to shake their hand. It will happen, during the coruse of our time in Chicago, that Daydreamers will run into each other (even if it is not on a spreadsheet). They will greet each other, but not know the other’s name. After declaring “I am [SD name here], and I miss Jerry”, there will be a warm embrace. Ah, such a touching, timeless scene. Passersby will take note and will remember seeing that embrace by strangers, who yet seemed to know each other somehow. Timeless.
