    Dus Brivers Extraordinaire
    Rich and Holly, your collective briving skills are unmatched! Trade that dus in for a tradder luck and you both get a steering wheel. Pie? Reese's Oreos? Cake???? Reluctantly crouched at the starting line Engines pumping and thumping in time The green light flashes, the flags go up Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank Fuel burning fast on an empty tank Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns Their prowess is potent and secretly stern

Hey Beyoncé ....come over here and have a seat while your man delivers the goods....Hey Barack? You like? If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one [Verse One] I got the rap patrol on the gat patrol Foes that wanna make sure my casket's closed Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes" I'm from the hood stupid what type of facts are those If you grew up with holes in your zapatos You'd celebrate the minute you was having dough I'm like fuck critics you can kiss my whole asshole If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward Got beef with radio if I don't play they show They don't play my hits well I don't give a shit SO Rap mags try and use my black ass So advertisers can give em more cash for ads...fuckers I don't know what you take me as or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has I'm from rags to riches nigga I ain't dumb I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one Hit me [Chorus] 99 Problems but a bitch ain't one If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one Hit me [Verse Two] The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw In my rear view mirror is the mother fucking law I got two choices yall pull over the car or bounce on the double put the pedal to the floor Now I ain't trying to see no highway chase with jake Plus I got a few dollars I can fight the case So I...pull over to the side of the road And I heard "Son do you know why I'm stopping you for?" Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don't know Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo? "Well you was doing fifty five in a fifty four" "License and registration and step out of the car" "Are you carrying a weapon on you I know a lot of you are" I ain't stepping out of shit all my papers legit "Do you mind if I look round the car a little bit?" Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back And I know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that "Aren't you sharp as a tack are some type of lawyer or something?" "Or somebody important or something?"

    @ like every single day
    We're keepin it live here on da dus...goin all over the map today. Well on that note... Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide Gonna Find You and Make you want me. [CLEF:] Now that I escape, sleepwalker awake Those who could relate know the world ain't cake Jail bars ain't golden gates Those who fake, they break, When they meet their 400 pound mate If I could rule the world Everyone would have a gun in the ghetto of course When giddyupin' on their horse I Kick a rhyme drinkin' moonshine I pour a sip on the concrete, for the deceased But no don't weep, Wyclef's in a state of sleep Thinkin' 'bout the robbery that I did last week. Money in the bag, banker looked like a drag I want to play with pelicans from here to Baghdad Gun blast, think fast, I think I'm hit My girl pinched my hips to see if I still exist. I think not, I'll send a letter to my friends, A born again hooligan only to be king again. [LAURYN:] I play my enemies like a game of chess, where I rest, No stress If you don't smoke sess, lest. I must confess, my destiny's manifest In some Goretex and sweats I make treks like I'm homeless Rap orgies with Porgy and Bess, Capture your bounty like Elliot Ness, YES Bless you if you represent the Fu But I'll hex you with some witch's brew if you're Doo Doo Voo Doo, I can do what you do, easy, BELIEVE ME Frontin' niggas give me hee-bee-gee-bees So while you're imitating Al Capone I'll be Nina Simone And defacating on your microphone. [Chorus:] Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly [LAURYN'S INTERLUDE] You can't run away From these styles I got, oh baby, hey baby Cause I got a lot, oh yeah And anywhere you go My whole crew's gonna know You can't hide from the block, oh no. [PRAZ:] Ready or not, refugees takin' over The Buffalo soldier, dread-lock rhasta On the twelfth hour, fly by in my bomber Crews run for cover, now they're under pushin' up flowers Superfly true lies, do or die, Toss me high - only puff la, With my crew from lock high I refugee from Guantanamo Bay Dance around the border like I'm Cassius Clay [Chorus (Lauryn) REPEAT 3X:] Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide Gonna Find You and Make You Want Me

    @ Oh Boy
    Oh yeah lets dance! Crank it! If you wanna be happy For the rest of your life, Never make a pretty woman your wife, So from my personal point of view, Get an ugly girl to marry you. A pretty woman makes her husband look small And very often causes his downfall. As soon as he marries her Then she starts to do The things that will break his heart. But if you make an ugly woman your wife, You'll be happy for the rest of your life, An ugly woman cooks her meals on time, She'll always give you peace of mind. Don't let your friends say You have no taste, Go ahead and marry anyway, Though her face is ugly, Her eyes don't match, Take it from me she's a better catch. Say man. Hey baby. Saw your wife the other day. Yeah? Yeah, she's ugly. Yeah, she's ugly but she sure can cook. Yeah?. Okay.

Happy new Year for 2016; may it fill you with every good thing. I'll close with one simple thing: Let's smile, greet strangers and sing... dance and twirl and laugh and play... share when you can, and have a Grateful Day! your geopoetmeister...{poof}

2015 sure has been an amazingly grate year! So glad we made it! Good luck and best wishes in all that we do in 2016!!! In case anyone doesn’t have enough Grateful Dead to listen to and hasn’t already downloaded them, here are links to 30 DAYS OF DEAD and 31 DAYS OF DEAD. (30 Days of Dead has been a tradition on dead.net each November since 2010. The Unofficial 31 Days of Dead follows in December. Each day they both provide an unreleased, unpredictable pick from across the GD eras/years. I’m a full-show/set kind of guy, but you’ll find some real nuggets here.) (UNOFFICIAL) 31 DAYS OF DEAD This link is to this year’s 31 Days of Dead (just completed today). It also includes grate commentary for each day plus additional links to downloads and setlists from previous editions of 31 Days: http://www.phantasytour.com/bands/phish/threads/4108337/31-days-of-dead… (OFFICIAL) 30 DAYS OF DEAD Here’s the dead.net page with this year’s 30 Days (scroll down to download all 30 at once): http://www.dead.net/30daysofdead?intcmp=home/carousel2 For the 2012, 2013 & 2014 editions of 30 Days of Dead: http://www.endlessboundaries.com/free-download-30-days-of-dead-2014/ Not sure where I downloaded 2011 from, but you’ll find the 2010 30 Days on Lossless Legs: http://www.shnflac.net/details.php?id=1e0613884578efe212c8a484665ede094…

Another year gone. Been thinking about posting all day, started and quit thrice already. So much has happened and I don't know where to begin, so I will just type. I remember the morning of January 16th when dead.net posted the FTW announcement. All the anticipation, effort, excitement, heartbreak and the camaraderie we developed. The whirlwind leading up to Chicago, the shows, the pic a nic and most importantly the friendships. I'd like to thank marye for granting us this space, Tony for his time, organization and spreadsheets, George for his patience and wit, Tami and Oat Willie (say hi to Pam) for their artistic contributions, Al, Al's horse, Adam, ASL, Totes, Ms. Katniss, Stanley, Stella, Geeky for her geekiness, Bob Loblaw, spascarella, mortatone, Roadking, Jose, Zeke, Jambo, Dire, JeffTOO, Kurt, Tom Hanlon, Swannie, GOB, Mkav, Boo Boo, OzarkMatt for his outstanding photography, and Miami for spinning awesome tunes and briving a mean dus, let us not forget our fearless leader Mayor Klangstone, yes, I know... it all would have happened without him, but it never would have been as much fun.... :-) To all those daydreamers not mentioned above, you are not forgotten.... I would like to thank our families for their patience and understanding of our obsession with all things Dead.... Well ..time to idle ba dus and watch the last sunset of the year here in da Buff.... If you go out to celebrate, may the four winds blow you safely home..... Hey Sarge, for old time sake, play that song, you know the one that Guy Lombardo made famous....eh? (he was Canadian). Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne! For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne. We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne. ....now, pass me that bone.....and a cup of Philz..... Happy New Year!

...it's all so spanking new...we hardly got the wrapping paper off the New Year, and already there's music in the air. Richie, ditto to your sentiments earlier. We all had such a grand adventure in 2015, as strangers stopped strangers...and you know the rest of THAT story. May your cup be full of what we shared this past year; May the melody of life find you dancing in your seats, in the aisles, and on the byways and highways of your path; May all of your pesky detours, chuck holes, speed traps and traffic jams that we all face in our journeys be short and sweet; And may the river continue to sing sweet songs to rock your soul. Here's to you and you and you, and fellow Sunshine Daydreamers everywhere: Ready or not, 2016, here we come. Le chaim!

All is quiet on New Year's DayA world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day On New Year's Day I will be with you again I will be with you again --- even if only in spirit. I thought of you all and our grand adventure when we passed our Shady Grove hiking to the Field Museum earlier today. We're back here in the city for the holiday, but it's just not the same without you. A happy and prosperous New Year to all you lovely people!!

Very well said, Mr. Rrrgrrrr and geoihavemyfingeronthepulseoftheuniversemeister! It's been a phenomenal last year and the Daydreamer experiment ended up being a resounding laboratory success. I had to skip the California swing of Dead & Co., but rumor has it that there will be more songs to fill the air next year! We might be able to fudge and say 51 years so far . . . . Hope to see some of you at the shows! Have a safe and healthy new year everybody.

Has anyone heard how Matt and Holly fared in the flooding?
user picture

Member for

Thanks for your concern. Matt and I live in the city so our home is fine. The surrounding areas are bad for sure and the areas where we hike are inaccesible. This was historic flooding and a smaller river the Meramec had record breaking crest levels. Higher than the flood of 93'... It will be a large mess to clean up for sure. The good thing is now we know where not to move. It is heartbreaking for me to watch the flood footage. Seeing the highway 55 bridge that we cross to go hiking underwater was very unnerving. Hopefully the debris and water dont negatively effect the structure too much. There were houses floating down the river. Black muddy river, roll on forever...I dont care how deep or wide...

I was doing road work with the Dead and a few other bands back then and I recall the unbelievable flooding. It was amazing to see whole towns underwater. Stay safe and dry!

We drove from St Louis area to DFW on 12/27. We could see the high levels of the creeks and rivers along 55 and 44. With all the rain on 12/27 and 12/28, we were not surprised to hear of all that flooding. I haven't heard much since then in terms of clean up, etc. Prayers and best wishes to all those folks in tbe waters' path.

Yes, a sad day as David was a unique talent. I called an old friend today and reminisced about going to see the Sound+Vision tour in 1990. Bowie was to retire his old songs and you could call in to vote for songs you wanted performed. After voting for Rock 'n' Roll Suicide, well...don't let the sun blast your shadow,don't let the milk float ride your mind. Great memories.

That is great that you were able to see him live. His producer has said that his latest album and video were a parting gift to his fans. I dont have it in me to watch it right now but the first line from the new single is "Look up here, I'm in Heaven." If there is a Heaven, that is where David Bowie belongs...Rock'n'Roll Heaven.

Sad to hear of Glenn Frey's passing--he and Don Henley were a big part of the Aspen/Snowmass/Woody Creek scene for many years. You were just there, amirite? One of my friends used to be the caretaker for Don Henley and she said that his philosophy was that people go to concerts to be able to sing along with the exact recording, so he always wanted the concert to be consistent with the CD. Legend had it that he would fire backing musicians if they missed a beat or a note. I always thought it is the antithesis of the Dead in that respect, but very enjoyable music nonetheless. RIP. Also, hello Klang--hope you are well!

Greg, good to hear from you, hope you're handling winter alright. I was in Boulder and Aspen CO area in late September. Funny, when there was jonesin' to hear Jackson, Poco, Eagles and Fogelberg....must be the thin air and the Rocky Mountain highs.... You are on to something with that Henley reference. I first saw the Eagles in support of One Of These Nights in 75, very good, spontaneous, sloppy. I caught them again in 79, no longer the same outfit and not cuz Felder and Meisner were gone, they were sonically perfect, and so every time I've seen them since. This past July 18,000 seat arena sold out in da buff. Guess perfection sells..... there's a train leaves here this morning, I don't know, one I might be on.....

It's that time of the year again and the videos are pouring in, please check them out. Scarlet Begonias was filmed in our backyard last summer. Give it a look and listen, one of the Daydreamers is representing on the upright bass. support Savannah and the Kings if they come to your neck of the woods....they don't suck.... That song still reminds me of Saturday in the Park, every days the Fourth of July.... Believe it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on..... Oh yeah, I still miss Jerry.... ;-)

...this one makes me so, so very sad. Dan and the girls always brought me right to a particular space and time, with a sweetly sly, salacious grin and a sparkle of the eye. Miss you, rgr, believe it if you need it.

In case anybody's like me and didn’t realize it, you can buy tickets now. From the Deadandcompany.com scroll down to the two “FOLSOM FIELD ... BOULDER” shows and click on “TICKETS”. That’ll take you to the Colorado U ticket page for the D&Co shows. Click on “DEAD & COMPANY PLATINUM SEATING: FIND TICKETS” which will take you to a page where you can search for seats by section, row and price and add to your cart. (Click the link at the top of this page to set up an account w/ your contact info so you can check out.) Worked fine for me, but I had to re-click on the “Tickets” link on the Dead & Co page once because I initially got a “page not found” message on the CU page. BTW: I have accounts on Ticketmaster and Livenation.com, but apparently they weren’t needed and no password or codes were required during the process.
