    April Fools...have you gotten hosed yet?
    My wife just called and in her best shaky, shaky voice told me that she was feeling extremely ill. We're supposed to be driving from NC to Maine very early Friday morning, so I was sitting there thinking, oh man!, when she let out the "April Fools!" on me. She's a very wicked woman.

    I heard a rumour that the Dead will trot out "It's a Small World After All" and play that somewhere during the tour. A guy who works on their soundcrew told me it's being rehearsed. Apparently, Weir can't this tune out of his head after going to Disneyland recently. This is Weir's home movie from that ride in Disneyland: (rare footage) you kind of have to watch the whole thing, but Bobby points the camera back at himself about 3 times during it, just a glimpse of him 'going to hell in a bucket but at least he's enjoying the ride' you can hear his distinctive laugh a few times and his resonant voice. I think he says, though it is a bit garbled, 'hey you know, it really is a small world after all...' ( -; now thatyou have seen it, I reckon'you can't get that tune out of your head either. yuk yuk yuk. ok, let's put it back on track here: 100$ ??? I mean, after all, how long is a Dead concert gonna be? Shit, those free shows on 3/30 were a total rip-off, they only played like an hour at the first two places. and what, like 90 minutes or so at Roseland... What are the Dead, in colusion with the subway company? forcing some people to have to ride from place to place to see all of the shows. I think it was all an Opec conspiracy during the late 70's, a few thousand deadheads on the road, DRIVING from place to place... think about it. seriously. I think the Dead should have had a Tour Pass ticket, all shows, all venues, for $500. INCLUDING free gas coupons, enough to drive a big ass diesel tie-die bus from place to place AND all the veggie burritos you can eat at every show. (bathroom use will not be free, however, and it will be 2$ per tinkle, and 5$ per dump) you know, people might think 100$ is a really 'high' price for a Dead show, no discounts available!! well, that is not entirely true, didn't some of the venues offer cheaper seats behind the stage? but, in reality, whatare we talking about? MAYBE 2 or 3 hours of music. do we count drumz/space as music, I don't think so.... now, on the other hand, a whole day and night of entertainment at Disney can be had for these prices: Disneyland Tickets - Prices List prices for Disneyland tickets listed below are valid as of January 1, 2009, according to the Disneyland web site. One Day, Single Park Admission to one park only These Disneyland tickets are available at the resort ticket booth or by calling 714-781-4400. Not available online. Children $59.00, Adults $69.00 You can also buy this ticket through CalActive with transportation included, but be aware that it's far from the cheapest way to get to the park, costing over $30 per person more than tickets alone and with a restrictive schedule that would not allow you to stay for the fireworks or evening parades. One Day Park Hopper You can visit both parks on the same day. Children $84.00, Adults $94.00 No advance purchase discount. Order online through Disney only. CHILDREN UNDER 3 are FREE!!!!!!! but, children over the age of 10 are priced as adults... but there are, in fact ways to save money buying your tix to Disneyland!! Go on your birthday, Disney is free for you!! Off season, even cheaper! ah, to each her/his own. ( -; no offense intended to anyone, just joking around. please find your joy in any way you can. serious disney discounts available on disny's website, you can get in for as little as 41$ per day if you buy a 5 day pass or something like that.. major Dead tix discounts to many of the old shows the Grateful Dead played are here, but you can't actually 'see'them play: archive. org now THAT site is a value for your money! ( -; yuk yuk yuk. 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.

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?
