Did anyone else read that
Did anyone else read that worldwide use of Spam has dropped 70% in recent months? Any ideas why? The experts...the Spam experts..are dumbfounded!
And by use, I mean consumption. It might still be used for, um, other things.
Reduced Spam consumption may be
An indicator that my former asst Scoutmaster has passed on. Or his son, or both. They did love their Spam! If so, RIP.
Super Bowl in the USA
Good luck to the Green Bay Packers!!! Too bad we have to listen to FOX TV announcers...The best thing about the game is usually the commercials, bought at the record high amount of $3 mil for a 30 second spot.
Plenty of activities in Dallas TX today as The Pittsburgh Steelers go for a 7th football trophy.
Speaking of FOX, did you catch the Bill O'Reilly grilling of President Obama in the White House?
okay, this is without a doubt
the most surreal thing to cross my radar in recent memory. So many questions. So little time.
quite surreal indeed marye
I like how Lawrence calls it a "modern spiritual". Wow, that was mind-blowing
Alpine Valley DVD All downhill...Does your copy suck?
Question: Does your DVD of Alpine suck? I "upgraded" my VHS to DVD some years ago. I don't remember my VHS being so crummy although it was nothing to cheer about. My DVD appears legit with the Monterey art that looks like others I have. The sound is good, but the images is blurry and the colors harsh. I realize it's not Hi Def but the quality of the picture is poor like it was shot on an 8mm camera.
What's been your experience with this Vid???

Bobby solo acoustic tour
Really? Any opinions out there on the prospects of hearing Bob perform an entire show naked, so to speak?
pass on the naked 64 year old Bobby shows
Even if they pay me $80 a show ($120 for the spitting section)

We were witness to a most
We were witness to a most inspiring and magical event last night in Madison, Wisconsin. Jackson Browne performed a solo acoustic set. One man, one voice and 20 acoustic guitars. this was not an ordinary event, with the songs you heard on the radio back in the day....but rather a momentous occasion of support for the things that matter most in the lives of everyman. He has a vision and a spirit that flows with most all of us, and the perseverance to travel across this great land and further the education of our society, through music, words...and the spirit behind which you cannot help but be drawn in, to a better life, on a better planet, in a better space. My hats off, and my immense respect, Jackson, for you vision, your communication, and most of all your tenaciousness, in making this a better planet for all of us.

A message from Neil
A message from Neil Young..."2012 will that record companies release High Resolution Audio. This is huge for our industry. Since the advent of the CD, listeners have been deprived of the full experience of listening.
The spirituality and soul of music is truly found when the sounds engulfs you, and that is just what 2012 will bring. It is a physical thing, a relief that you feel when artists and producers did when they created it in the studio. The sound engulfs you and your senses open up allowing you to truly feel the deep emotion of the music of some of our finest artists. From Frank Sinatra to the Black Keys, the feeling is there. This what Record companies were born to deliver and in 2012 they will."
Inspiration. A wonderful thing.
given how strongly Neil feels about sound
which I can attest to, having interviewed him on the subject once, I'd say this is pretty huge.
SURPRISE!! SURPRISE!!!
So 19 of the many Islamofascists who want nothing more than to murder innocent Americans once again attacked the WTC on 9/11/01, and succeeded in killing thousands of our fellow citizens...Luckily your humble writer, altho it was a close call, was not a victim for a second time...
Then, a few years later when I was posting on the DNC forum, and praising "W" for his efforts to keep us safe from those sick savages, my posts prompted numerous online attacks by DNC neo-libs ...They clearly didn't like "W", America, or me!!!
It was at that time that I read many idiotic comments, including "W" was a complete failure based on the fact that the unemployment rate was hovering at around 5%, and he was sending troops into Iraq because the people there had "brown skin", etc....
Now, about six years later, unemployment is at about 9+%, and since coming into office Barry Obama is sending drones into the area, and has sent tens of thousands of troops into the Middle East to kill "brown skin people" in even more countries, including Libya, Yemen, etc....
SURPRISE!! SURPRISE!!!
Not a peep from the "Deadheads For Obama", et al...
Anyone care to take a wild guess as to the reason(s) why ??
If it wasn't so sick, it would be funny...
Dewlover - broken connection with reality evident
OR -- You lost somebody in the Gulf whom you're still grieving for. As somebody who has carefully followed your posts on dead.net, I'd say the last one seems like a cry for professional help.
You're entited to your own opinions, but not your own facts.
Try this fact:: Under "no controls' Dubya, Goldman got to Sec. Treas. Paulsen to bail out AIG who immediately made Goldman liquid on ALL it's hedges. Then Congress poured it on with unprecedented bailouts and now, 2 years later, we aren't in a great depression because of Obama (though we have cash-rich corps with human rights unwilling to invest in this country) -- despite of everything. You can't blame Obama unless you're willing to blot out 8 years of the Dubya, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice regime.
I think you've broken with reality and need help. I urge you to seek it as soon as possible. If you are a vet, get help. If you're in a family situation with dysfunctional vet., get help!
Bonnaroo steaming live

Bonaroo live ?
Not quite, but it looks like Widespread Panic will be tomorrow, never seen them before so that should be good. The Primus show was hot and so was Mumford & Sons (another first).
Saw Widespread
in Tacoma around '96 or so.....was a good show, not the Dead, but was ok...we were front row in the balcony of the fairly small Temple Theater and the tapers wanted our seats bad...
looks like a good show to me
WS Panic and Bruce Hornsby, I really enjoyed it, Panic is playing in Eugene in 3 weeks,hmm. I also enjoyed Mavis Staples and thought Neon Trees sure put on a show. Warren Haynes Band was awesome and he has a great new CD out. Sure am glad I got this computer. I want more !

Nice mountain scene Brian
I'm guessing it's in the state of Washington (Rainier?); I know it's not on the east coast of the USA, nor in West Virginia, which does have a few big mountains.
