    AP Research 2020 survey

    Hey guys, I'm a senior at McLean High School completing a year long research project about if the Grateful Dead's following could be recreated in todays social climate. I'm conducting the bulk of my data through surveys so any responses would be tremendously helpful! Thank you all!!

    Sydney Pollack
    Sydney Pollack passed away on May 26. a hell of a nice guy, really down to earth. I met him once at a party I crashed on the upper east side round about the time just before or just after Tootsie came out. We talked for a long while, mostly about gangster stuff and the yakuza, and when I held up an extra ticket for the next night's show at MSG, and said "dude, you ever been to a Grateful Dead concert?" and this, I will never forget, he looked at me for like a full minute, and he said: "The Grateful Dead? those people never bathe" RIP, Syd, may the 4 winds blow you safely home. peace.

    Awesome weekend
    Had an AMAZING weekend. Went to a battle of the bands in willamantic supporting wildlife conservation and the conservation of the river. four amazing bands (well, at least three, one had a terrrrrible vocalist) great BBQ, dead heads galore. One band was a tribute band though they also wrote their own stuff. Also bought tons of books in providence. check out the band that won the battle, a band called "The Line" also, there was this amazing girl there named Desiree who is on youtube and the like. check her out as she is very young but an amazing player.Peace, The Kid

    badger, have fun with that Täze Elipbiýi over there in Whereverthefuckitisstan! safe travels. Turkmen Proverbs Words of Wisdom for Life by Gazanfar Pashayev http://azer.com/aiweb/categories/magazine/ai111_folder/111_articles/111… 3 from that page: Blood is dripping from his pen. (His actions hurt others.) Don't swear in the name of my grandfather who was a slave, And I won't swear in the name of your grandfather who was a wealthy landowner. (A person's ancestry is sacred, no matter what reputation they had.) A donkey with a load is still a donkey.

    more on old school
    more on old school I think the another big thing about being old school, or the old school heads on tours and the touch heads, was the general policy of 'self-policing' the community. as an example, nobody gave a shit if people were dringking themselves silly in the parking lots, BUT once someone threw a bottle and broke it, the older heads would chide the dude who did that. then, the 'old school' heads would go clean up the mess. being old school has nothing to do with age, mind you. sure, I was fucking around on the board one day and posting lots of crap, I did kind of fuck up because I did think I was in the chat room thread and not the news thread; bt that is not the point, once someone, in this case, marye said, dude, chill out with this, I stopped. I apologised, and that was that. end of story. end of issue. Door # 3??? clearly that would be marye up-loading a digi copy of her old cassette tapes of her interview with jerry which I really hope to 'hear' someday. peace

George Bush has a heart attack and dies. He goes to hell where the Devil is waiting for him. 'I don't know what to do here,' says the Devil. 'You're on my list but I have no room for you, but you definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got 3 people here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves. ' George thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed. The devil opened the first room. In it was Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. He kept resurfacing over and over and over, gasping for air. Such was his fate in hell. 'No!' George said. 'I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and don't think I could do that all day long for eternity.' The devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time, and more rocks appeared. 'No! I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day!' thought George. The devil opened a third door. In it, George saw Bill Clinton lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in spread eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. George Bush looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, 'Yeah, I can handle this.' 'The devil smiled and said.... 'Monica, you're free to go!' yuk yuk yuk... ( -: peace.

thanks Mom. I'm still walking so I'm sure that I can dance... but damn it because both hurt and even sitting hurts, I think one hip is shot to hell, and that happens to be on the same side that one of my ankles is fucked up, as well as my shoulder. I am not getting older gracefully, and it really sucks. but I love you, too; all of you. love and peace.

thanks again heathaa and I certainly hope you feel better, too. I generally shy away from meds, but what do you take? I will probably go get an MRI of my hip this week, the x-rays didn't show enough.

They're AWESOME! I wish I were there with you, Mom. Glad we were represented. I'd love to see Phil jam with these folks (Hey, I can dream, can't I?) John is an excellent guitar player as are Rob Eaton and Kevin. Lisa, Dino and The Other One (Rob Koritz) are also excellent. In addition to these folks is Barraco on keys! Great band, I've seen them about a dozen times and can't wait to see them again. I need to hit the lotto or something. Work is really interfering with my job!

Greetings again from somewhere in Romania its pouring with rain outside, the hotel bar is full of pushy hookers so I've retreated to my hotel room...Reckoning on the Ipod and a quick bulletin I've been trekking in Romania's most ancient mountains for the last 2 days, misty autumnal forests of beech, oak, hornbeam and lime on rolling hills (a little like the Adirondacks maybe). We flushed a huge black wild boar from the acorn harvest and watched a vast eagle soaring over the crags. Lungbusting scrambles up leafy slopes to rocky peaks high in the cold wind, with views over the bare forests as the last leaves fall and winter beckons. Heavenly! As for Bran castle, GRTUD, I went there several years ago, as the two fading marks on my neck will testify!

I mentioned how my old bones have been hurting, and my joints, especially one hip is hurting. well, no news is good news, or is it? I had 2 MRIs last week, lumbar and pelvic, and aside from one degenerative disc, they could not find anything. I have been trying to rest more, and sit less, which is when it hurts the most - sitting time. the fucked up thing is that tight jeans and so on seem to exasberate the condition, so I traded in some of my tight leathers for loose black sweat pants. this seems to help a bit, but damn if I don't look like a schmuck on a hog in sweatpants.

Does this mean you will return to being CCjoe? This inverted thing is making me dizzy man.Or are you going be one of these split type personalities as we observe in GRTUD and his other voice or perhaps it is his higher power. I swear sometime his wife is going to have to glue or sew the two parts together. It must be really strange when she walks into the room and they (GRTUD and Golden Road) are having a discussion. It boggles the mind. Are you at that point eojCC or are you beyond it? If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. Wiliam Blake

Hi Hal, My inversion-conversion is a result of physical factors, I'm afraid. All I can say, is I hope your dizzy feeling is a 'good buzz' or you can get into it. I suggest listening to The Other One when you feel dizzy. when unable to do all of the things I want to do, for physical reasons, I feel inverted. this bums me out mentally, but no split personalities or MPD or discussing things with myself and my alter ego (singing in the shower does not count as talking to myself-- even if I sing all of the parts in Jack Straw, I reckon) ( -: unable to sit for long periods of time, unable to stand for long periods of time, it really sucks. walking hurts, going up and down stairs hurts... Luckily laying down has stopped hurting. so I do that pretty well. ( -; my right shoulder is still not 'just exactly perfect' which has fucked up my break in playing pool; putting me behind in the rent money, and, if you notice, the avatar is of my old lady dragging me out of the pool hall rather than shooting with the boys. so when you see my old avatar return, you will probably see my old self get back. I am doing some physical therapy, and with no identifiable cause seen in either x-rays or the MRIs I have to get more checks/tests, the dreaded "You using the whole fist, doc?" I am counting the days until I get into a warm, tropical climate again, and that will happen in a month and a half. the old lady is pushing for a permanent move, and I am getting into the swing of that idea. It is the plane rides I fear; having to sit. I got my whoopee cusion, but after 2 or 3 blasts, people cant take a joke any longer. sheesh. I don't know what it is, but sweat pants seem to help. This is far from a long term solution-- there is only so long I can go on looking like a mook. peace.

Hey Joe no harm in a bit of air circulation from time to time! How about some of those psychedelic Thai style beach bum pantaloons? Loose, cool and cool (maybe a bit drafty on the hog) hope things carry on improving

Hey Joe nothing wrong with a bit of air circulation from time to time ;-) Why not try some of those Thai style psychedelic beach pantaloons? Loose, cool and cool! Maybe a bit draughty on the hog though! Anyone else have any fashion tips for poor suffering Joe? Anyway, I'm glad things are a little better and hope improvements continue.

my first posting of the previous innocent note attracted a message that it was queued for moderator approval. Wonder what triggered that off? Then when I tried to repost I got this chilling and novel message YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO POST COMMENTS I had to use the special method to get the post accepted, but it seems that commenting on CCJoes fashion choices may be a no no round here...or am I being punished for previous tasteless (but entirely true) comments about excessively entrepreneurial guest relations officers.......or is it the hand of Dr Evil at work??
