Oh, right. You’re far too good for my bullshit. Hey, Mickey.
“Hey, buddy.”

Take Terrapin for example.
The 19 minute extended acoustic version.
Don’t start from the beginning or you will bail before it gets “good” at about 10:30
Anyhow at 10:30 or so you will find, Jack of roses Chasing Peggy O through the Bayou and swearing in a lightning storm..
The lions come at him, but they back off, cause he was crazy.
At 11:50 venus (yes that Venus) rises from the sea on a terrapin with a Coral Fan,
There is a beach of diamonds, and in one version the train is running on the fretboard of a guitar.
Seriously Hunter without a Garcia filter… well you listen and tell us what you think.
Many, many artists are better with a filter (some call them editors). Think of Italics Guy and how he helps ToTD!
Hunter S Thompson should’ve shown up
