    Deadheads for Obama 2012
    Anybody have any contacts for a push this election? Los Angeles Deadheads want to contribute to the fight against modern conservatism and idiocy. The counterculture is alive and well. Reach out. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Eagle-Winged-Palace/19579729496

    Embarrassing
    Ugh...Obama represents everything that is wrong and bad about politicians. Did the band even look into this guys life. You don't have to go far. The guy who is his economic advisor is neck deep in this whole Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac crap. Obama followers fall into two groups: Ignorant and Willingly Ignorant Jerry is rolling in his grave...

Iam so stoked to see these guys... Welcome back Mark Karan !!!!!!Unfortunately Iclips is so slow, or so many of us heads logged in, that the stream sounds just like an old beat up vinyl record skipping and popping and doing the dirty music dance. ultimately I had to turn it off, it was just too much distraction to listen to all that noise every 10 seconds.

I doubt we'll get any kind of proof regarding the load of crap that was posted about Bob Weir. I mean he couldn't even get Bob's name right! I think he needs a new tinfoil hat - sounds like the voices are getting to him...

that is it. they finally lost their minds. i guess all that residual LSD is still spinning through the last 6 brain cells of the last remaining members of the dead. supporting OBAMA, what are they kidding me. dead sucks without jerry anyway sorta like pink floyd without roger waters. all abou the money. GratefulDead.INC concerts are weak. suburban kids peddling 12 0z cans of beer to suburban kids, original. it is not about the tunes. jerry even said it while getting busted with his cola in his nice white beemer. i don't blame him a bit, at least he was honest , phil and bob sneeky little snakey creeps. mickey just keep saying uh huh.

I figured everyone under the sun was trying to do the same....Music wont get me to vote for someone, the issues will and my vote is still in the air... The Washington Caucuses are this weekend maybe I will see something I havn't seen or heard.... Peace! Eric

http://www.metroactive.com/bohemian/06.07.06/bob-weir-0623.html http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/bohos/bohoindx.html First, there was the contesting of Jerry's will over his guitars. Jerry wanted all of them to go to Doug Irwin, the now parapalegic man who created them. The argument Weir put forth was that the guitars were not paid for with Jerry's personal money. His reasoning, they were paid for with Grateful Dead Production money and therefore, not truly Jerry's to give away in his will. How DARE you contest the will of Jerry Garcia and over-ride his wishes for his guitars! Taking two of them away from a parapalegic that could have really used the money? Who in the FUCK do you think you are? Like Jerry gave a shit if the things were sold to some rich fuck on ebay. He cared about Doug Irwin, not a bunch of Heads waiting in a line to see the damn things behind some bullet proof glass. Does this minorly talented bafoon realize he'd have been lucky to be a high school band teacher if it wasn't for Jerry? Jerry was the Grateful Dead, Bobby. I don't see Ratdog on the Forbes list year after year or you selling out Madison Square Garden like JGB did. You're a follower and make a real ass of yourself when you attempt in vain to take a lead. Kind of like your lousy solo's during Little Red Rooster. Then there was the revoking of downloading sounboards from archive.org. How sweet of Bobby to put them back up for streaming only, and why? Because Heads all over the world bitched and threatened to boycott Grateful Dead Productions and Ratdog if he didn't. We should have done the same with Jerry's guitars, as we all should be doing with the recent knowledge of them joining the fucking Bohemian Club, for christ-sakes. Rubbing elbows with the scummiest elitist cunts of the Earth is unacceptable. If you disagree, you must have been a Touch of Grayer that never got it in the first place. No excuses, no justification, it's wrong, period. Jerry would spit in his face and kicked his lame showy ass out of the band if he were still here. Whatever, I've been disgusted with him since the contesting of the will. He continues to prove himself a whore in contradictory positions of what the Grateful Dead once stood for. Somehow, he's got Mickey riding on his new tuxedo curtails too. He may have grown up wealthy, but he's trashier than the trash on Maury Povich. Why? Because he knows where the light is and consciously chooses the dark. You cannot seek out membership in The Bohemian Club, and claim to be a person of Light. Turn around, you piece of mediocrity that was over generously spared being fired from the band in the early 70's. You were a 30 year long Donna, and why, I'll never understand. You are sooooo lucky that Jerry hung onto faith that you might learn to play your guitar one day. You know he still laughed AT you till the last show. Change your ways, find a good witch to break your spell, or you just might find us making jokes that we'll be grateful when YOU are fucking dead. But Hey why listen to me right? I have been referred to as a right wing xian, tinfoil hat wearing phreak on here but that is no big deal, just simple minds not thinking for themselves. All of us really need to wake up from this slumber and look and see what we are really supporting. I wish all of you the best and please open your eyes to what is really going on. I know most of you are very bright intellectual people that have free thought and free will. Its time to use that. Peace be with you all. P.S. I personally believe it will be a Billory Obama ticket, so the money raised here is supporting the Clinton/Bush dynasty....Time to take it back!!!! VOTE NONE OF THE ABOVE. There is and will never be a president for the people until the people wake up and take it back. Weir's a sleazebag. I personally watched that asshole cross an IATSE picket line where the promoters were having an out-of-town road crew set up for Ratdog in Eugene. The scab crew's pay was "experience." But, hey, Gore did the same thing in Eugene in '96....

I hope you are feeling better now that you've gotten some garbage off of your chest. Are you telling me BTW doesn't bring a tear to your eye? I just can't believe someone who seems to have so much turmoil inside could really let all of their cares fade away while grooving to the Dead. Let the Music Play.

Two of Jerry Garcia's custom guitars -- fought over in a lawsuit last year between the Grateful Dead and guitarmaker Doug Irwin -- sold for more than $1.74 million to two anonymous buyers at a New York auction last night. Tiger -- a guitar Garcia played for 11 years -- went for $850,000. The other guitar, called Wolf, sold for $700,000. The buyer's commission pushed the price paid for Tiger to $957,500 and the price of Wolf to $789,500. May 2002

i found out pretty quickly,that the bohemian grove aint no new world-order organisation,but its a park or a natural reserve near SF!wonder also what the 40 foot owl should be for as you describe this people as illuminaty,which WAS long ago a branch of the framacons!No framaconic loge uses an owl for whatever rite you might think,their symbols are hammer,skull,bible and other stuff which relates to their roots as the builders of the temple in jerusalem.its clear that you have absolutly no clue of what you are talking.leave bobby alone,hes old enough to make his decisions without the need to explain his actions to anybody........:-P

Frankly, Your pm was just plain rude. I don't drink as you so indicated. I've been to over 40 shows and enjoyed the Jerry experience, but it took more than him to make the Grateful Dead. Without the other players it was The Jerry Garcia Band. Do you get my drift, see here in America there is such a thing as team work.

We had the Washington State Caucus yesterday. My precinct had over 100 people show up alone. Our local supported 7 precincts so we filled up a Jr High cafeteria. Our precinct had to be relocated due to its size.We had believers from Clinton and Obama with excellent discussion all around When it was all said and done, Obama won the precinct. Our system is working at the Grassroot level and It is such a joy to be part of the process to vote for the president. PS - I was the only one wearing a Dead shirt....Ill get one of those Obama stealie shirts when/if they're available... Eric

Yeah, where can we get the Obama SYF Tee Shirts? Maybe the logo could be made available as a high resolution image and we can make our own. My wife and I went to our local caucus as well. As there was no one to lead our small group, I volunteered to chair. In our group we vote 3 delegates for Barack and 1 for Hillary. I was elected to attend our State caucus in April as a Barack delegate. This is the first time I've been involved in a caucus and it was a truly great experience.

first Nebraska caucus, our district count was 5 to 1 for Obama although when it worked out throughout the state that turned into 2 to 1 for Obama over Clinton. That was an interesting and invigorating experience. I agree with what was said about both candidates and listening to all passionate perspectives 'live and in real time' was preferable to the talking heads (no slight meant for David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, & co) on the tube.

I was wondering about a banner for our local 4th of July parade. Would it possible to purchase one? Who made the banner for the show? Anyway our store Minglewood, in Rockford IL marches as a group of 30-40 people of all ages in red white and blue tie dye t-shirts along with several VW vans. We play Hippie music along the whole parade route. It is the best parade in the city because around 60-70 thousand folks attend. please visit the web site www.minglewood.us we also have a myspace page Safety 1st.

WTF, we were so excited to hear about the Dead reuniting (missing the man of course) in support of Barack Obama-what a miracle! But, come on, no tickets!! Anyone out there have 2 tickets-we will pay, not looking to be miracled, but wanting to find a miracle! How can this event on Oct. 13th be sold out already? It wasn't even advertised! Please contact us if you have 2 tickets you can spare, for 2 old heads who most definitely believe this country needs change. Direct us to some scummy ticket broker if you must, but we NEED to go to this concert! Again, willing and wanting to pay, as long as we are not gouged-too much gouging going on in this country already. Sink that Ship of Fools-vote please! Obama is the real deal, so is Biden. Contact me, if you know how we can score two tickets, please! MJ-Heads in Ohio
