    Greetings and accolades to izzie and Marye for listening and assisting. I'm sure it (open thread) wouldn't have happened without you. What to say, what to say, shit, given this opportunity and passing up an audience. Is this stage fright? Cat got yer tongue? Nope, I'm just smiling wide on this Friday night and jazzed at the recent turn of events to connect with old and new friends in our new 'station.' Author Steven Peter's book titled 'The Stories Behind Every Grateful Dead Song 1965-1995 -What a Long Strange Trip' he chronicled an explanation around one of my favorite tunes, The Wheel and he wrote "Hunter compared the unending spin of the Grateful Dead's career path to the oroboros, a mythical dragon or serpent which is depicted as biting it's tail and symbolized infinity or eternal recurrence. It was a pattern the Dead could relate to on a different level as their own "snake" continued to grow bigger and bigger with every turn." This site is an extension of that concept, to be part of continuing to nourish and expand with the help of each other "one man gather's what another man spills". And even the story behind the Grateful Dead's name (I will leave that for another to share and elaborate on) is evidence of the evolving and helping nature of the Dead, this site, and the relationships that we foster with one another. Again Peter's book relates how world renowned scholar (on Myth and Religion et al) Joseph Campbell attended a Grateful Dead show and then stated "It turns on something in here", he later said enthused, pointing to his heart, "what it turns on is the life energy. This is Dionysus talking though these kids. Now I have seen similar manifestations, but nothing as innocent as what I saw with this bunch...this is a wonderful fervent loss of self in the larger self of a homogenous community. That is what it's all about." Shit, I guess I went overboard and got all high fallootin' and philosophical, er, heynow, crank it up. We have arrived. Let's dance.

    Well put or not put. I, however, suffer from verbal incontinence and will gladly have something to say. Here are random and semi-on-topic tidbits. After Jerry ditched the Wah-Wah pedal in favor of the Envelope Filter, Playin' in the Band was never the same. The first kind veggie burrito I ever had transformed my tastebuds. Quixote's True Blue is a cool Dead Head bar in Denver, CO. When I bailed out on the scene in 1993 I was kinda bummed. Getting together like this with all of you sure is cool and makes me feel goofy like a kid again. I'm just a, well...porpoise.

you can't never tell. Here's GRTUD from his brief appearance at Studio 54, performing "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult. He's obviously lip synching. More Cowbell "All our times have come here, but now they're gone..."

it's Saturday Night Live (tonight with Chris Walken). Btw, thanks for your support mom. At least one person here gets my horrible humor. Maybe it just needed a bit more cowbell???

Hal - I can't remember Graham playing in the band but I could see him on cow bell or triangle, for sure! Also, did you notice the band that played last night on SNL? Panic at the Disco! Too funny (although last night's show was a bit disappointing, imo). jesuschrist - I think it's about time you got around to thanking all the poor souls that have defied logic, history, science and common sense to believe in You all these years, despite You always putting us down and threatening us with the pain of Hell, no matter how hard we try to do Your convoluted will. Make Your fucking mind up as to what You want us to do down here on Earth (and which Testament/Covenant You represent), tell us in plain English - and every other language on this planet, then take care of business with those that go around trying to punish other humans for living their lives, when those very humans claiming to be divine in some way and "in charge" obviously aren't anything other than ordinary charlatans. I've compiled a very extensive list of "people of interest" along this line of reason. If you'd like help with this job - that has gotten out of hand, due to You and Your Father's lack of attention - let me know. Don't bother with that "free will" crap as Your defense either, that's just another cop out, imo. Well, see you all in Hell... "All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet. What a fool I was to defy him."

what does SYF symbolize?obviously i'm a beginner here, and thank you cari for the log on support

To me the SYF logo/emblem is a symbol of higher consciousness, which borders other more specific topics. From what I remember of the story, the symbol came to Dan Healy on a rainy trip, one night, somewhere in California, and was originally a lightning bolt enclosed in a circle to indicate electrical danger or presence, of some sort. The original symbol was used to indicate the band's equipment (speakers, amps, etc.) when playing festivals and all the equipment would get jumbled up with other bands' equipment. The metamorphosis of the emblem, to it's current condition and status is something I feel is nothing less than extraordinary.

I am known by many names,jahova,mahomad,Dalhi lama,the son of Mary,even Odem,ect. it depend on what your faith is. you do have faith don`t you ? the words of holy wars ghihads ,have been writen for many centuries. the bootist monks and the tibetin people have known for centuries of such atrosities. these words have been writen in the book of revolations and many other great books. have you not read any on my writings ? are you one with out any faith at all ? many great prophets have writen of me. Nostradomas , sylvia brown, ect. have known of the great holy wars. do you not think the tibetin people have not been prepared for this ? the holy wars have been going on since the begining of time.the Norse,the pegans,and all christians have been fighting these wars . If you wish to say a prayer for the tibetin people they will greatly appreciate it. as they will and have been praying for everyone. As i will send my blessings to you who do not beleive. I bless all who beleive and i bless the non beleivers also. As far as world peace, there has never been such peace . And there will never be such peace as many would like to have. That is the way it is and has been writen for many centuries. In the name of my mother Mary and my Father God him self I wish you many blessings and hope you will find your own faith some day. I bless all of you my children . Your Lord and savior JesusChrist.

My birthday was not on april first, however good guise. I did not Die on the cross therfore i was not re-born. It was a nice parlor trick was`nt it ? My birthday as many should know is the holiday called Christmas, so as I know you have not read any of my teachings,. this is and was a test for all. Frankly failed this test. My blessings still go out for you my son. And to all. my father and I shall be with you all in your times of trouble. Your Lord, JesusChrist

wow man,chris was right,you really have a big problem with grammatics.if my son would write like this he would have problems finishing highschool,and we are living in the tcheque rep.but who cares anyway.as i do not believe in you,the effect you are looking for evaporates like air.in fact all i see is a reborn christian who suffers of mystic hallucinations and has probably not spent much time in school.and you have even problems with your own Bio!!!or have you forgotten that you died on the cross,to wash away all our sins...that you stood up some days later is another chapter,which you should know by heart anyway.so take care of you JC and keep away from the houses where walls are made of soft material,they might invite you in some day......... Your Friend,:-)(-:Frankly

I guess its cool that you like the dead. I've read your book of Mother Goose tales. I especially liked the part about fornicating with goats. Farm animals are bad but hookers are okay, right man? Ha! You've paid for sex!

but what do you believe that can be discussed,beside the fact that more than 1 million tibetian people have been killed,their culture is undergoing permanent destruction and after all the years they have become a minority in their own country?.-)(-:

The likely venue for such discussion would be the Channel Six (aka current events) topic, but if it takes on a life of its own we can move it. Thanks!

cow bells schmaw bells! The Taj story has been told verbally many times. Each time the cornball Indian accent gets worse... Twice, I wrote it out. On the original wild wild west dead board, then again here. Too bad both becoame toast because of technical shit, but I do think any attempt to re-write it again, would 'pale in comparrison' to the other written versions. Somthing tells me it wasn't the last time he expounded on the luck of the Egyptians and it certainly wasn't his first time neither. If the intrepid members among you wander into the Taj gardens at daybreak, and if you wear an obviously dead related t-shirt, I have no doubt you will also be 'accosted' by the Indian gent we met that Christmas morning if you are in the right place at the right time, when the moon is in the 7th house, and Jupiter alligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planet... The Studio 54 story will also, now, I'm afraid pale in comparrison to the build-up here... "isn't this just a devious attempt to build it up more??!!" -- mutters CCj's old lady

I need a favor please, from whoever is willing. My best buddy Martin has a birthday today (11 April) for those of us in different time zones. My present to him is a massive mail campaign of Birthday wishes, from common friends, as well as those unknown to him. I wanna slam his mailbox w/kind Birthday thoughts. Anyone willing to help me w/this? If so, send me a pm, and I will give you his e mail address. He is no Deadhead, but a super kind man and a great person.* ********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live.
