    A long time ago at a grateful dead show.....
    Back in 94, I can remember thinking to myself, man this is so cool!! Then I thought to myself, how can I wrap this moment up and take it home with me for everyone to see? Or rather, how can I meet cool people like everyone thats dancin and smilin around me? Tryin to explain it to nondead heads and others was virtually impossible. Well, the answer to my question is here on dead.net. It's hard to find kind good hearted souls in the world these daze. But I found a buttload here on dead.net, So how do you bottle up the show and take a piece of it with you? The answer is DEAD.NET!! Thank you all and thank you dead members! Peace- Moye

    great news gypsy. Good for you. As for the video, I think it must be Bob's personal "We Build This City on Rock 'n' Roll" (shudder)

    that is just too much, I haven't laughed this hard for a long time. No wonder I seemed like such an outcast in the 80's. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

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.

wow was the REAL Robert Hunter told you that? Congratulations. Still ..dude gets a number one album and next thing he thinks he can tell you what vegetables to eat! ;-) Do you like 'em in a salad or in a classic cheese sauce?

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?
