Hey leadbelly 27
Very witty! I agree about Picasso & Day Job, but I gotta say, I dig the part in Money, Money, that goes" I just load my gun & mosey down to the Bank" Reconsider, it's just the image I get {in my head} that cracks me up. Mosey!!
PEACE

press conference about the past
At the press conference the Dead will condemn, reject, and (of course) renounce the songs "Keep Your Day Job," "Money, Money," and "Picasso Moon." Phil, on behalf of the band, will issue an apology to fans and to the general music world for having unleashed these utterly craptastic songs upon the world. Bob will urge fans, retailers, and even Rhino to erase or scratch out any existence of these songs. The offending songs will be played backwards while Mickey and Billy drum sacred purifying rhythm.
It will end an ugly and embarrassing chapter in Dead history.
And we will vow to never speak of it again.
I won't hold my breath waiting for a refund of my contribution to the Terrapin Station project, but after this announcement they should lower the price of the album by ten bucks, at least.
"All that material, which Law explained would have found a home in the Dead's once-planned Terrapin Station museum, will be housed at the McHenry library at Santa Cruz."

There is your answer. I haven't seen this comment in any other article regarding that UCSC deal. It's been more than a week. Don't bet on them posting the MP-3 of that press conference here either...
