Grateful Dead

ESPN sports writer Wright Thompson is wearing some sort of GD stealie hat on the Masters pre-tournament show. Cannot identify the symbol inside the skull though. Some sort of shield or crest? Stylish dark grey tweed hat with black brim. Doubt if it came from dead net. Oh, and to really ungolf it he's wearing what looks like a bowling shirt.
Cheers

Hey rockers!!

So here I am at work...............need I say more?

4/6/69: Concur with Billy The K. Loved this show since I first heard it. Yes, those Fillmore West and Ark shows are awesome, but this is the one I'll carry with me into the afterlife. OMG that Cryptical reprise, Garcia on the Death Don't, the classic pulled plug Viola Lee Blues!! Where is the rest of the broadcast?

4/6/71: Oddballs for all us oddballs. Did somebody spike the water, or was it in the air? And that crazed Truckin' to close the show---very very unusual position. Hey, how about a Manhattan Center mini-box????

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better......

Rock on!

Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work......

4/6/69. Avalon Ballroom.

Nice little ditty with a lovely sentiment.
The wife's a quilter and she loved it.
Quilts made of favorite tees are a thing now.
But I'm sure my tees will more likely be shining cars.
That's a first for me. Something she can relate to here, lol.

....Google shop Make America Grateful Again tee's and buy one. There are a lot of options. Let's start a counter revolution!
Has also gotten me drinks at shows and almost into a fight at a grocery store, but whatever.
Humanity has extreme spectrums.

I have a bunch of shirts for which I have affinity.

Alice in Wonderland t-dye that I purchased at the Psychedelic Shop, San Fran, December 1986. Starting to fade some, dont wear it often. Also have a Psychedelic Shop shirt, which has a wizard projecting lightning bolts into an orb with a key in it. Very cool. Also December 1986.

My favorite is the 1977 copyright shirt by Ed Donahue I bought also in 1986 at a head shop in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. My understanding, Ed stuff sold in NE only. It is also on Dave's #39, the guy coming out of the house/camper has it underneath another shirt. You can search Ed Donahue 1977 GD shirt and find the image. I brought it home and took it to an old hippy friend. He airbrushed the back with a combined American Beauty image. It has the rose but says Grateful Dead instead of American Beauty. The GD is the same letting on the back of the album. Then on the bottom of the shirt he improvised, he brushed say 5 dancing skeletons. All with varying states of the skeleton. Dancing, head on, to dancing head missing. In between, it is being taken from the head. I wore it to maybe 5 or 6 GD concerts, it is "my precious." In February 2016, I wore the last time at a Widespread Panic show. People were blown away by it. Got me several cocktails and much smoke during the show. My hometown has always been ultra cop. Search any body any time. New regime. As I walked out of the concert hall, the fuzz was standing at the doors for exit. Except, they were handing out 24 oz bottles of water and wishing all to "Be Safe." Within 10 feet, thru 2 sets of doors, were the nitrous mafia, selling balloons. Pretty sure the cops just thought they were selling helium to go with the circus comes to town vibe.

Nice that this year, get to see 5 shows in two weeks. Panic for 3 and Phish for 2. Never thought we would get here, but we made it. I am so glad.

always wish I had more time here...from last week my mother is still kicking, but again, at peace. So thanks again for kind words. Y'all be Fantastic!!!

Oh yeah, I woolite clean only and wear a tshirt under my tie dyes.

Okay, maybe you need some skill,,,, but you could sew them into a quilt.

Tattered quilt on the goose down bed
"Every stitch tells a story", my Grandma said
Her mama's nightgown, her Grandpa's pants
And the dress she wore to her high school dance
Now wrapped at night in those patchwork scenes
I waltz with Grandma in my dreams
My arms, my heart, my life entwined
With water from another time

My Europe Tour. Best one I saw? A fine-looking lass was walking with a friend across a hill side wearing "I'm so horny if I had a d...k I'd J.O." lol

Most of my T-shirts had many small holes in the front caused by burning bits of hash falling out of joints. If anyone asked I told them I was a welder.

My favorite Dead T shirt was the one I got at the 6-21-84 show. Third eyeball. So-so show, but loved that shirt...........

If you want to have clean ideas, change them as often as your shirt.......
