Grateful Dead

For everyone getting all twisted about tickets....Please keep in mind Jerry Garcia will not be there,repeat Jerry Garcia will not be there. It's nice the "core four" (I think Jerry and Pigpen may be bothered be the exclusion) are padding the retirement fund but it's a cover band. ....Don't sweat the small stuff ....and this is small. Enjoy the memories, tapes, cd's videos etc this is just a money grab

It's obvious that things went down that no one will ever fully understand. Resellers with blocks of good (and bad) seats larger than the maximum allotment? Even if they have untold minions on their side, how are all their seats contiguous? Heads getting seats -- each and every one a great thing -- but seemingly also biased on the cheap side of things. How, why, who knows ... and, at this point, who cares. Personally, I still believe a lot of these resellers are going to get stuck and I have nothing but time to wait them out. If they eat them that's cool too. But I hope (and know that) no one will get off the bus for what this fiasco has become. We're not on this thing for one show, or two shows, or a hundred shows, it's more than that ... way more. This shit makes living amongst the "english" (to cop a line from an old movie) tolerable. Always has, always will. What's going down here cannot change that (even if you want it too!). That said, I think it's quite reasonable for folks to speak their mind. Being on the bus does not mean blind obedience, but rather just the opposite. Standing up for what's right, calling BS when you see BS, and letting someone know you know when they are peeing on your shoes. Smiling through adversity is the only choice when the shit goes down, but that does not mean ignoring the crap. To me it's more of a, "hey, I can take whatever shit you dish out," but I'm still gonna let you know I think it's shit. Silence serves only to sanction. On the bus for all of my teenage and adult life and nothing, I mean, nothing can get me off. It's my goddamn bus anyway. Sorry for the length of this rant. I feel better now.

The whole simulcast in theaters is crap. Who the hell wants to sit in a theater with sticky floors and stinky seats where you cant have a beer or something else in a mall on 4th of July?? LAME. Pay per view would be the way to do it imo.
