NOW, you smile?
“I’m going for it, yeah.”
Seriously, Bobby: that is about a sixth of a grin. You look far happier than in any picture taken of you recently.
“Well, you know: cops used to hit us with sticks and arrest our fans. And us. And they would hit the fans with sticks. Everybody got arrested and hit by sticks, that’s the takeaway here.”
Uh-huh.
“And now they don’t.”
Sure.
“So that makes me happy.”
Gotcha. Bobby, can I ask you a question?
“If you gotta.”
White wine and valium?
“Oh, that’s a hell of a combo. That’s like tomatoes and that one specific kind of cheese. There’s an additive effect when you slap ’em together. Increases the yumminess.”
It’s a bit ladies-who-lunch, isn’t it?
“I love lunch. What else is in that book?”
You fall over in public a good half-dozen times.
“Sounds about right.”
You spent about $85 billion on TRI Studios without having the first clue how it was going to generate any income.
“One could put it that way, sure.”
You never got over Garcia’s death.
“Huh. No, never have. No.”
This got sad.
“Death’ll do that.”
Some setlists are claiming “diamonds on the soles of her shoes” in Raleigh
Some setlists claimed it when Josh sang like one line twice.
Some setlists claimed they did “you can call me Al” when Josh just mumbled “You can call me Betty” twice while Oteil burbled a hot base burble.
I have not listened to the Raleigh show, but in my opinion someone with authority and leadership in the community needs to clarify the difference between the following.
Playing a song
Teasing a song
ToTD has the power to explain this to the world, and clear this controversy… sort of.
I was there. It felt more like a song than a quoted line to me. I don’t know the original that well, so in the spirit of Without Research, I couldn’t tell you if there are a bunch of lyrics that got left off.
We had fun. Band seemed to be enjoying themselves.
all a Friend can say is “let’s plant some allium”
I think they need to talk about these things before hand,like, “I got this song stuck in my head, I think it’s (whoever)”, then think to themselves…Hey!To preserve soMe sort of continuity, maybe that’s NOT A GOOD IDEA. Paul Simon, while fitting in a generational sense, does not fit within the Grateful Dead idiom, per se. So, please don’t dominate the rap Jack, if you got nothing new to say.
fuck the pigs
