Grateful Dead

good old cosmic synchronicity

It's raining pretty good this morning so I decide to go to the bookstore and hang out a little bit. I'm looking through the used-books section and I come across the book "Deadheads" by Linda Kelly. So I start leafing through it and reading some stuff and the very next song that comes on the radio in the bookstore is Uncle John' Band! First time I'd ever heard the Dead come on in there. Ain't no time to hate Barely time to wait

Gee, I sure hope they don't take Jerry's image in vain like this.

is ironic on sooooooo many levels, its almost funny. I'm fairly certain that John would approve of anything Yoko would do with his estate, whatever the reason - he loved her THAT MUCH. What I can't fathom is; why this material in her control isn't being used to generate or create more art for the sake of art itself? I could care less about the income generated, everyone needs money - but I wonder how she'd react if a person took this piece and made something that challenged the status-quo, for instance (which is what I see when John is talking in the clip), without regard to ANYTHING. Would such an attempt be torn down, by a legion of lawyers? I honestly don't know but I suppose since the ad isn't about money, she and the car manufacturer will be donating the proceeds to a worthy charity. Thanks for the link TL!

http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/sean-lennon-defends-john-lennon-… I haven't seen the ad but according to this web site's interview with Sean, Yoko was just trying to keep John "out there in the world". News to Yoko; you don't need to worry about anyone forgetting John, although I'd like to forget the nonsense that took part when he tried to force you into The Beatles which, along with saying this pandering isn't about money, I'll never understand. The universe... "it's a series of tubes (or donuts)... enormous amounts of material...!" (Psychedelized version of) Ted Stevens’s infamous remarks about the internet

(I haven't seen this yet) is that I think there's an interview of Sean Lennon circulating in which he explains why this is a swell idea.

But it's nauseatingly true. He didn't bend over himself though, someone else did BUT good! Someone who seems to have no clue that he would have said NO to his face pushing Citröen. And I know I didn't hallucinate this nightmare-JimiC saw it too :(********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

...bending over for Citroen?? Say it ain't so!

I saw a commercial last night, for Citröen, that was using footage of an interview with John Lennon to sell a damn car! ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain
