    Am sooo happy for you. Same thing happened to me, but in reverse (I am the daughter that was given up for adoption, and my biological mother found me just 11 years ago), so I find your post very special indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

    RIP PHILLY SPECTRUM
    I just received the news the Philly Spectrum will be demolished early next year and be replaced with a mall and restaurants. "And the times they are a-changin". It was my home venue through high school in the 80's. A lot of good memories will go down with that building. The most memorable was in 1986. I was normally a hallway dancer, but this show I dug my way to about the 4th row in between Phil and Bob and and saw first hand Jerry lose touch with himself and his guitar totally took over his body. It was a Morning Dew out of space and Jerry did not look like the pillar of health coming out after drums. He was sweaty and shaking, but kicked into the most soulful rendition of Dew that I ever witnessed firsthand. (I believe it was my 1st Dew too). His guitar played him....I was convinced. I had tears in my eyes for the first time at a show. I was so blown away. Dew ended and the Band went off the stage. I didn't really comprehend the show was over, until the faithful in Philly started booing the Dead post encore. THE BOO'ed the DEAD. I was flabergasted. Never before and never again. Never a dull moment. I will miss the Filthy Spectrum.

    Hey I just saw a
    Cheryl Crow video called "Out Of Our Heads" a pretty cool song and they show Jerry in it giving a peace sign :) right after these lyrics...Every man is his own prophet Oh every prophet just a man I say all the women stand up, say yes to themselves Teach your children best you can Let every man bow to the best in himself We're not killing any more We're the wisest ones, everybody listen 'Cause you can't fight this feeling any more, oh anymore If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads And into our hearts Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your Tears and look to your heart

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?
