Many have already read this, but here's for those who haven't. Found it posted on the Archive... Grateful Dead Concerts Are Like Baseball Games by David Gans The following is the text of [Gans] famous Baseball Analogy as it appeared in The Official Book of the Deadheads (Grushkin-Bassett-Grushkin, Quill, 1983). It was modified somewhat from the text I submitted, and if [he] ever find[s] the original [he] will replace this with that. -- D.G. Grateful Dead concerts are like baseball games: no two are ever alike. The plays are always different, and there's always fresh hope. Sometimes the game's an all-timer even though individual performances are sloppy; sometimes everybody plays great but the team loses anyway. Some people thrive on yesterday's moments, and aren't too keen on the way the game's played today. Some have only been fans since last year and don't care what happened way back when. You can cherish the great victories and triumphant seasons and chart them across decades, or you can go simply for the enjoyment of tonight and to hell with the standings. Like all the great teams, the Dead have their pennant years and bleak innings, perfect games and whippings, hits and foul balls, heroes and goats. To many they're an institution, to some mere child's play, and to others the Grateful Dead is more or less an indispensable part of life. There are those who say the game's too slow, that the brief moments of action and excitement are too few and far between. Like "America's Favorite Pastime," the Dead are both celebrated and criticized, and some people will never see what's to enjoy. Like big-league fans, Deadheads are as varied as the game is long. There are scorekeepers who record every detail for statistical analysis and a place in the Hall of Fame; camera buffs and video freaks; armchair umpires, die-hards, groupies. Some are bleacher bums who'd be in the stands no matter who was playing; and there are even spousal fans who go because if they didn't, they'd be left home alone. A lot of people attend because they've always gone and really don't care to stop. It may take a few visits to grasp the subtleties, but if you let yourself into the flow of things, there's something to enjoy from the very first moment you're there. As the old saying goes, the mind believes what the mind believes: Grateful Dead is cerebral if you choose to analyze it, but it's basic and instinctive too. Like the game of baseball.

According to this source, NASA's going to be trying out a little intergalactic streaming of a situationally appropriately titled Beatles song. They're also offering an opportunity for some audience participation, which fortunately doesn't conflict with the DHFO Warfield webcast. I've already scheduled this as an event on one of my computers so as to be sure to be part of the vibe being generated no matter what else I may be distracted by. Dunno, just seemed like a cool idea to me. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Tonight's the night! Great link, Mr. Pid - thanks. "If the forms of this world die, which is more real, the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind, or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?"

Thanks! "This man claims to be your father!" he, he, he. "Where does the time go?"

Gabriel is going to start a new web site that suggests various media to his fans, for "consumption". I think he's going to name the site "The Filter" or "Filter" (release is expected in the next few weeks). The intent is for Peter to serve as a cosmic "DJ" of sorts for media that is not getting hyped due to it's content or lack of mass appeal. Keep your eyes and ears open, the mind can't be far behind. "Since you've all been such good boys and girls, I would like to take everybody in this entire audience out for milk and cookies. There are buses outside. Everybody follow me."

My wife found this animated video to Dylan's Little Drummer Boy on Amazon. If you haven't heard his Christmas CD yet, it's good, & all proceeds in the U.S. go to the charity Feeding America. http://www.amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/m1N551G1YRP3KI “Santa Claus wears a Red Suit, He must be a communist.

... but cool. I received this link from a good friend a week or so ago. I think the original article appeared in the SF Gate ("Dead Man Talking" March 21 by Joel Selvin) but I'm not certain. I had never heard this story before. http://dozin.com/bobs/tele.htm

Since the website redesign, none of the audio works for me. Flypaper and the old way of listening to the GD Hour with windows media player worked great. I am distraught.

www.thegratefulproject.org The Grateful Project is about a band's 50-year love affair with its fans. It's our way of telling The Grateful Dead just how much their music has meant to us throughout our lives. You can participate by sharing a story or poem about a song or a show on one of our blogs. Or post a photo of original artwork you were inspired to create yourself or buy from another. Our hope is to create a beautiful book together that we present to the Dead in 2015. The Grateful Project is a non-commercial enterprise and any profits will be given to various charities supporting the arts and music. "Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know. See how it feels in the end."
