    Happy New Year to all
    oh do please lighten up Gonzo! Put on a party hat and do something fun and crazy. We know about all that shit and now and then its nice to turn your back on it. All over the world there are people a lot less fortunate than any of us bringing together friends and family to enjoy a few hours of good company and good cheer. Who would begrudge them that? Have a great new year deadnet friends, I hope it brings joy and happiness and for those who are having a difficult time, some shelter from the storm

    I'll not pay heed to 'gonzo's advice: Samantha Fish is playing the blues at Llywellyn's Pub tonight and I have a table adjacent to the stage. An Irish New Year toast is at 6pm central, with a Kansas toast at midnight. I'll race home afterward to catch Furthur on XM Sirius!!

    Happy New Year
    Moment by moment goes inching by so slowly we can't feel it, only see it in the grey and white hairs and wrinkles. So sad is impermanence. Those we care for, a few more gone every year. And yet this day we choose to party and forget we are moving closer and closer to death at the rate of an avalanche. Surely it is a day for praying and doing good rather than getting wasted, singing and dancing. Anyway, don't let that bus hit you when you cross the street. You may have more than a few regrets when your life passes before your eyes...

    happy new year to you all from someplace
    Happy New Year to you all!!!!! Looking forward to a new year as last year completely drained me, the good and the bad,(I had a hard run.) I still believe there is more positivity out there than negativity. I believe that there is more ying than yang, but somehow the ying and the yang always equal out to be about 50/50. I have lost more friends this year, but as you grow older this becomes a common occurrence. Unfortunately i am only 36 and my former circle of friends knew, and still know how to run it hard. I have learned more and covered more ground this year , but the year of the rabbit will not have run its course until mid January. I will miss my fellow soldiers of the night who have fallen in 2011 and in the former. Me I am still on the road and heading for another joint and have a cocktail in hand and the music is most likely too loud. Have been spending some time back in the States in south Florida on the water, any heads in the Fort Lauderdale area? Strange being back in the States after being away for so long, I was in Myanmar for the last week and I had a similar feeling, but there is no place like home. Happy New Year!!! .

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
