    Furthur selection criteria
    Any significance around the fact that all of the first names of all the "Furthur" boys not named "Bob" or "Phil" begin with the letter "J"? Theories, please...

    I found this over at Lossless
    I'm looking to raise $800 to replace a speaker that was stolen from the KPFA performance studio. I believe this is a speaker that was originally donated by the Jerry Garcia estate. Regular listeners to Dead to the World have heard many great music broadcasts from that studio, and we have Grandpa Banana and his band coming in this week. KPFA is struggling (as are we all, I know) so it will be hard to find the money to replace this important piece of the studio. That's why I am asking for help here. You can send a check to KPFA, 1929 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Berkeley CA 94704, or Paypal to David@trufun.com with a note stating that it is for KPFA. I know we can make this happen. Thanks to all for reading this. someone found this on David`s facebook page . figure I`ll post it here also. KPFA could use the help as well as any public broadcasting radio or television station.

    Quack, Quack, Quack - Go Ducks!
    I will be rooting for the Oregon Ducks, whose homefield is Autzen Stadium in Eugene, in the Rose Bowl! Now that I've my credit cards all paid off I should go see Furthur on new years eve, then head down to the Rose Bowl and see the Ducks, then head down to Baja and have a margaritta with a senoritta in Rosarita. But it would really suck if Furthur played FOTD, the Ducks lost, and I got mugged in Mexico, I think I'll just stay home. It's been a good year, why push it. I saw more shows this year,3, than I have since the mid-80's, wrote more songs this year than I ever have in my life,(you all inspire me), and had a couple nice road trips where, on one, I saw a ton of new country I've not seen before. Plus, I had my last beer on the 9th of this month, smoked my last bowl on the 24th, and am hoping to have my last cig tomorrow. I hope in the coming year I can get my act together and start playing some gigs. I wish you all a happy and healthy new year. Peace. Let there be songs, to fill the air

    the torrent of saliva emanating from bob's mouth. he wasn't actually spitting, but wow....i don't know how he could actually sing with the amount of liquid he was producing. the only visual i can think of that compares is sweat pouring off of someone during an extremely strenuous workout, and that still doesn't really compare. we used to get close enough to almost lean on the edge of the stage at the kaiser convention center in oakland and had a clear view of bob, just a few feet away.

In my opinion his sound and style fit in best with Panic. But it was definitely cool when he played with the Dead in 03/04. "I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel. Can't win for tryin. Dust off those rusty strings just one more time. Gonna make em shine."

first: (((((DNC))))) 2nd: congrats to the happy couple. 3rd: >U must patiently peel the tinfoil from many 1948 cigarette packs and roll it in a ball before rubbing on sidewalk. Silver guaranteed. bloody hell, Hunter, now youse let loose the details of my technique of earning a living. shit, the price of them 48' packs just shot up on e-bay-- gosh darn it. 4th: can't say why, can't say how, just know it was there; hoping it will stay. was it this??: "All I know is something like a bird within her sang All I know she sang a little while and then flew on Tell me all that you know I'll show you Snow and rain If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why? Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by Laugh in the sunshine Sing, cry in the dark Fly through the night Don't cry now Don't you cry Don't you cry any more La da da da Sleep in the stars Don't you cry Dry your eyes on the wind La da da da da da All I know is something like a bird within her sang All I know she sang a little while and then flew on Tell me all that you know I'll show you Snow and rain" had it on the loop, some show I seen from 81, last night, first night in a long while, I fell asleep without Carlo Rossi present, (don't mis-understand, I'm not gay -- not that there's anything wrong with that) woke up with a different feeling inside. optimiCCstic, maybe, realisCCtic for sure. looked up at the ever so familiar ceiling in the little old house... not counting cracks, not trapped by only looking back; just a different feeling inside. my head on straight, my shoulders square, my eyes dry; still carrying the freight -- but without the weight. thanks, folks. thanks ((((DNC))) you been there when I needed you most. you stayed there and was still there when i dropped in again-- ever in need, still unable to express it, and ever so welcomed back like I was never gone. can't say how or why, everyone handles things different, no one better none worse; all doing things in our own way and in our own time. I do appreciate the emails sent, the feelings I feel here on the public space. can't express the gratitude properly. just: thank you, thank you very much in the Elvi tradition is the way to say; all y'all played a part, all y'all who reached out and touched me, cep't of course for BJW who grabbed my ass... LOL ( -; ** all y'all touched my heart with your kindness, it all played a part, in a new start. still heading out, accross a sea or two, got my Old Spice packed and some Bay Rum, too... just know, I love you all, and that, my friends, is what matters most of all. ** LOVE & PEACE, cc.

I just noticed that one of the endless spamvertisers here is asking us to buy model train layouts!!! Is this so we can re enact some classic Dead songs in the comfort of our own homes? Casey Jones Monkey and Engineer I know you rider Tons of Steel Or is it because some clever search engine picked up on us talking about shows that were train wrecks?

I don't follow the links, I just look at the personal profile pages. How do they manage to create so many memberships? I see that the site has one of those gizmos where people registering have to type the camouflaged letters. Do the spammers have a computer that can overcome that or are they paying people to physically create the accounts ? Yet another thankless task for our Marye wiping them all out. I hope the tech people can find a way to stop them.

Listening to the first Furthur show ever, from the Fox, and the Other One was playing, and i thought i heard Bobby singing, 'Furthur, Furthur, Furthur Around, ' instead of the usual 'Coming, Coming, Coming Around, In a Circle..etc...' ....but. after a relisten, i don't think so...must have had a headful that day! Would be cool to hear him Start singing that!..... .....Can't wait 'till AllGood... Furthur & West Virginia beautiful mountains - Almost Heaven Indeed! Peace

FUCK SORRY, THE GAME OF SWEET REVENGE ::::: Karma?!? You all know I’m a sucker for betting the kids over music, sometimes making them cry on the basketball court( beaten by a Girl ~ a Mom no less), and gloating over the occasional board game. Everyone has finally settled and I’m relaxing in my room, reading The Green Mile. Feeling rather parched ( thank you Noodle! ) I head into the kitchen for a glass of tea~ or should I say cup, seeing as how there’s a shortage of glasses at our house. The only light is coming from the fish tank. Out of nowhere there’s a stabbing, blinding pain radiating from my right foot. Feet that I’ve sworn could walk over hot coals without breaking a sweat; thanks to my grocery store motto. For a few seconds I thought I was going to black out & crash into the aforementioned tank. Hopping on my remaining reliable foot I look down & spot the upright red man on the rug. It all comes back to me in a flash: I heartily knock Kramer’s green man back to start and I can hear myself chanting “SORRY! Victory is mine!” ARGGGH!! I sit down on the floor to make sure there’s no gaping hole in my foot as I wearily eye the red devil. I hurl him in the vicinity of the trash can, miss and mumble a few choice words under my breath. I make it to the fridge and although the tea is welcome, it just doesn’t seem as sweet as before. Waking up this morning, karma far from my mind I plant both feet on the floor and the pain comes flooding back. I’ve stepped on my share of kid toys and that damn Sorry piece was worse than the dreaded Lego and matchbox car put together. So, if your in a similar situation, don’t let the Power of beating your kids go to your head, because it can surely come back to haunt you. I’m starting a petition that all games with choking hazard warnings should also alert the unsuspecting game enthusiast of Stone Bruise Dangers….. Hex on YOU Parker Brothers!! cheezy I know, but why the hell not ??? :) PEACE

(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.

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
