Grateful Dead

the comic strip Adam today? Has a reference that we thought was pretty funny. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

funny! And you know that seems to me to be about right

I put it in my Grateful Dead scrapbook, thought it was cool , yay !

Where can we see it?

As long as you are not peeing or pooping in the streets everything is ok! lol "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."

The Grateful Dead is a correct answer on Jeopardy tonight! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Nice interview in today's Miami Herald with Bob Weir.I wish i could post it but I don't know how. And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

Hey all...Just leafing through last week's Sports Illustrated magazine (Jan 25th) and noticed a piece written on Jim Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts.... I was interested in the article for many reasons.... none of which I guess I need to go into here.... but right there on Page 57 in the picture with Irsay is Jerry's Tiger. I remember that Irsay bought it many years ago... among many other interesting purchases... the guitar is not mentioned in the article but Stephen Stills and other references are made.... Thought you might find that curious.... I did. Be well all. Raymond

my friend leaved this magazine on a table at the job. I kept it in my bag just to have a look at this article. Didn't see it before I read your post.Thanks Raymond.

What an amazing event And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

Very interesting article here http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/201003/grateful-dead-archives (first posted on the Eurotraders website)

Longtime Deadhead acquaintance and friend, Barry, contributed to Josh Greens article.

looks like we gonna be around forever. Love it!

We are the People Our Children Warned Us Against! a rephrasing of the classic "We Are the People Our Parents Warned Us Against: The Classic Account of the 1960s Counter-Culture in San Francisco" If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

That made my wife giggle ...

Joshua Green, from the Atlantic Monthly, and Barry Barnes, Professor of Business at Huizenga School @ Nova Southeastern University and Deadhead extaordinaire, are interviewed on "Word of Mouth" about the business model we know as... Grateful Dead. http://www.nhpr.org/node/29666

Pretty good interview with Phil about Furthur. http://blogs.delawareonline.com/pulpculture/2010/02/18/the-dead-finally…

Not exactly a "sighting," more a reference, but today, the NPR comedy news quiz show "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" followed a segment about the increase of marijuana use in US senior citizens with a snippet of "Touch of Grey."

I was watching this movie I guess from the 80's and the young cop had to explain to Sean Connery who or What the Dead were and then I flashed on wasn't this the army base Jerry and Hunter met at? And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

this morning around 3 et on the Nat Geo channel "Thrill Zone" (sorry but their web site is a complete mess and I can't find the exact show) the owner of a demolition company spoke of the "bitter sweet" job of imploding the Cap Center, complete with a good picture of the band on stage there. He talked about seeing The Grateful Dead there himself "many times" as the picture was aired. Sent shivers up my spine as I reminisced the cosmic energy we shared in that place of time and space. My brother-in-law and a handful of old fiends went there to witness this sad demise when they brought Her down but I couldn't bring myself to join them.

On Easter Sunday morning... I hadn't slept very well in several days (nothing to do with drugs of any kind - I just get zonked from work and the insane schedule sometimes) and I was like a zombie in front of the TV watching the local Comcast Sports Net telecast and there's Curt Callahan the director of Cole Field House pointing out a picture of The Grateful Dead performing from a show I was at in the late '70s! The piece was on Cole Field House btw - not the Dead. I was revived again... enough to make it back across Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate. I don't know why certain things ease my mind these daze but seeing those kind of psychedelic moments seem to work best for me. It's as if I can feel like I've done my days work or something... I know, crazy.

The latest issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine has The Grateful Dead's song New Speedway Boogie featured!

... last night he talked about Jerry's old house up for sale and tonight he made a Jerry reference when handling a lizard the wrangler said could, "... take off a finger..." I still can't get over the fact that The Roots are his house band. How cool is that?

i seen this earlier excellent

Seems like the best place to post this-- The Fresh Air Interview: Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band A fine interview and studio performance of Peter Rowan and his Bluegrass Band, including his reminiscences of Old and in the Way and Jerry Garcia. Well worth the listen. "A well put together unreality is pretty hard to beat." --Mark Twain

Any Sportscenter/Chicago Bulls fans out there? Last night on Sportscenter, one of the anchors quoted several lines of "Ramble On Rose" while showing a bunch of Derrick Rose highlights. Wait, he did not quote, he sang several lines of "Ramble On Rose"- "Did you say your name was...?" on through the end of that short little stanza. A beautiful ESPN moment.

I saw that too shaggy. Along with the many "Lebowski" qutoes I hear from Neil, I think we are indeed - EVERYWHERE! Hahahaha!

I watched Pearl Jam : Live at the Garden, '03 last night, after the final song the band was a little freaked ' cause the crowd was going so wild that the stage was moving around. Eddie came out for the encores and said what they felt and a stage manager told him that that had only happened 3 times before: For the Grateful Dead, Iron Maiden, and Bruce Springsteen.

If Phil follows through with the city folks, this will be a fun place to visit & listen to the music play

So does this mean that all the money raised for the 'Terrapin Station' centre through selling the Terrapin Limited 3 CD set will actually be used. I have long wondered what happened to that money. The set is still on sale in the shop here for a whopping $39.50. Is a proporion of that still going to the Terrapin project? It would be nice to know there is an account somewhere accumulating money and that it has not just been absorbed.

This isn't a media sighting but it is a far-stretch-connection-to-the-Dead sighting: I saw The Decemberists last week and during one of their songs (one of the new ones but I don't remember which), I was afforded the chance to see a Hurdy-Gurdy being played. No China Doll, but the Hurdy-Gurdy was there. Sweet instrument. J.T. Gossard http://thehallucinogenicbible.blogspot.com/

I'm not sure if this is the right section but a promo commercial for the mystery channel Cloo TV had a guy who was like an amateur detective buying a car. The seller said the car hadn't been driven far and the buyer pointed out evidence refuting his statement, including a painted-over bumper sticker of the dancing bears. It's still running on tv.

Nice article - lacking in judging and huge on honesty. Loved it.
