TotD has an announcement: it’s enough with the oral histories. Our friend and skydiving-instructor (“You look smart, you’ll know when to pull the cord.”) David Gans has an oral history about the Dead coming out soon, and it will be praised and plugged; after that: no more oral histories.
Until then, here’s a short one about the Dead’s incredibly Dead-like relationship with the city of Austin.
Dallas, got a soft machine…….having not read the Burroughs book what are they referencing ? Thank for the link also

I expect other people to need the Google talk, Spence.
But not you, buddy. Not you, too.
Seriously, though: wasn’t the soft machine Burroughs’ way of describing the beaurocratic/goverment/business people of the city that crush one’s spirit just as well as any steamroller?
Many sorries for the Google laziness. I was preoccupied with pig sodomy, Taylor Swift, Fela, gymnastics, and those kids on my lawn. Soft Machine has been on my bookshelf unopened for far too long.
Tay-Tay and Fela on a mixtape in the car; kids in the car for gymnastics; run the teens on your lawn over along the way; drop children off; sodomize pig; read.
STOP MAKING ME SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS FOR YOU, SPENCER.

Dallas but still, I believe, in Texas.
