    AND
    AND: it will be solar powered! OK, cool, add the video, too. this is why I opened up the product development to the 'committee' here, I can't think up, (let alone remember) everything. I'm barely rebemering my own blood type these days, as it tends to be Johnny Red, 80 proof. RH factor NEGATIVE. I do think, if I consider this from a very prudent business point of view, that the sub-woofer, multi-speaker, thing must be an option. I learned on the road, people do not want a 'pack' of stickers, they usually want to choose one at a time. I went to the WharfRaton School of Business in Hell's Kitchen, youngest graduate at age 11. I learned during my internship. People want options. oh, scratch resistant surface, a vairety of colours, tie-dye of various shapes and forms, various dead logos and trademarks, available. or, as I would choose for my Deadhead Shuffle: basic black, the only tiny little trademark for me, would be THIS: peace.

    shall we call this, uhhh, (cough, cough) a pipe dream?? ( -; I certainly hope not. OK, if you boys tell me this is technically possible, well get up on that wagon! we're going up north to put the word in the streets. I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy who is a close personal friend of Steve Jobs' personal trainer. ( -; I got the name, and watch for the upcoming manufacture and release of...................... big drum roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **** The Deadhead Shuffle (loud cheers and roars of applause echo through the land) ( -; now who will deal with Rhino to get them to release the rights to all of the stuff in the vault? peace.

    50 TB hard drives?
    Probably not by Christmas 2008, but I'd be surprised if you didn't see them by Christmas 2010. Plenty of 1 TB drives on the market already. Now if Intel can just get Tesla's electrical power broadcasting thing actually functioning, bye bye to the battery toting mule as well...

    ya know CCj, this can be done! the capacity amount isn't a problem, the shows plus all video(u forgot that,ccj) can be done( even throw on kesey's bus TRIP) and the headphones are a cinch, docking and shuffle already done, hey how about the worlds smallest external LOUD speakers with subwoofer that fit in the back where the battery was! ...because the battery pack would need a mule to carry it around for you : ) and u know what happens if the horse won't pull....

    thank you, thank you very much. just a quick pop in, mom since I got some decently speeded inet access for a few days. won't be "back" til fall. the real credit for the love post goes to the songwriters and the folks who run the lyric website, http://www3.clearlight.com/~acsa/intro.htm as far as I can tell, this is the only time the grateful dead sang the word "mom" in the Merle Haggard cover: "Dear old daddy, rest his soul, left my mom a heavy load She tried so very hard to fill his shoes Working hours without rest, wanted me to have the best She tried to raise me right but I refused" love and peace.

I had nothing to do with that johnman, nothing to do with it getting there in the first place, nothing to do with you not getting it again... apparently once it is clicked, (I heard this from a dude) then you might get the ad or not, depending on one's 'puter settings the history in the computer, or the types of cookies you already got in your rig... 'Puter cookies, that is, not the eating kind, like that. selective process or random... ??? somewhere in your browser you should have a pop up ad blocker. should. maybe. don't ask me, I type with 2 fingers and dont know shit about these things. anyways, there is always that type of hassle lurking in cyber space, might be best to dump the whole post, (and the one with the hippy lions) marye; please. don't want to offend anybody. the perils of using a free image hosting site. i wont post pics again to avoid hassles. peace.

for her birthday: Me And Tiger Lilly Busted out of Barcelona riding on a train Feeling nearly faded as her dress Tiger Lilly ate some paella just before the rain Farted all the way to Fi-guer-es Well I took my old cassette from my dirty sack Playin' slow while Lilly sang the blues Stinky farts keeping time Holding Lilly's spirit in mine We finallly sang near every song that we knew The Board's just another place to think about The Scene The Board can cheer you up -- if you know what I mean The internet is easy Lord, when there ain't no tour The Board is good enough for me Good enough for me and Tiger Lilly With the kind, grateful folks; rapin' here is fun Lilly shared the secrets of my soul Standing right beside me Lord in everything I done Lilly's spirit kept me from the cold Nowhere never on this Board, I'll let her slip her away Looking for memories I hope we'll find And I'll trade all my straight friends for a single head To be sharing Lilly's spirit, oh so KIND The Board's just another place to think about The Scene The Board can cheer you up -- if you know what I mean The Internet is easy Lord, when there ain't no tour The Board is good enough for me Good enough for me and Tiger Lilly

Was last Saturday? Who knew? I walked unawares into my local independent record store (grateful to be living in a place where such a thing still exists) to pick up the new Neil Young cd and Wilco dvd...and there was actually a crowd milling around the place. I walked out with the above two purchases plus a small fistfull of free sampler cds. I know it's a crippled business model, but the world is a better place with these folks in business. Support your local....

..having the customer service in some US Call.center would mean that they have to pay US wages to the people working there.IF they let that service do by some Chinese(..or russian) company they pay the person 2 maybe 5 bucks a day.makes sense,at least for G.D.P.Johnman,we are in the bad situation to be between 45 and 60 and nobody will give us a job .it is not economical employ an older person in your country if you can pay slavelike salaries to young,university educated people somwhere in India.Same problem here my friend,but that G,D.P.goes the same way is a slap in the face.Peace,Brother

it makes me wonder how can the boys just sit by and let this happened....i read in an interview some years back that jerry said one of the reasons he keeps touring is that alot of people depended on the dead for there livelyhood....you ever notice back in the day how many people were up in the rafters operating the lights...the times are a changing

Dylan's new album "Together Through Life" comes out today. Most of the lyrics are a collaboration of him and Robert Hunter. I just went to Bob Dylan.com but they don't have the lyrics up yet but it says "coming soon". So if anyone gets the album I hope you'll give us a review. There's no record store in my town.

yes it is him.might have been pure happenstance that led him to say that, though. my life is now fulfilled. I posted enough useless drivel to get a rise from him. deep inside, i doubt very much Hunter said 'shut up' to too many people... I feel very honoured. "I'd like to thank the academy for this honour...." the new debate there is how to pronounce endive. "en - dive" or "on deeve"? as for my personal cuilinary preference -- need all the roughage I can get -- in a salad for sure. gotta keep regular. cheese simply blocks up the works and produces massive amounts of fluid fetid flatuance. meanwhile, where is Che Guavera? drinking Guava juice on a ski lift in Guadalhara perhaps?
