@Miss Bianca: @raven: On the contemporary music scene, there’s a GOTV concert here tomorrow with The National (college dudes here). Sorry I’m too lazy to find something more recent.

He’s laughing at all of us, because he got out in time.
@raven: saw Jorma live, solo winter 2015/16. I was 56 and brought the mean age of the crowd down, (considerably), yet there were several near-fights. Continual shouts of “Play it Jorma show ’em how it’s done!” followed by retorts of “Will you shut the fuck up so I can hear the music.” Rowdy hippies are cool!

@a hip hop artist from Idaho (fka Bella Q): @raven: aww, thanks for the links, y’all. Right now Youtube has sent me down the rabbit hole of Garcia/Kaukonen/Papa John Creach jams, so I’m rolling with those for a while, but I’ll get back to ’em before I leave tomight, promise!
The Caddy reference….That was Cassidy. No one else in the family prized Cadillacs. Jerry drove a Beamer (or at least that was what he was arrested in at Golden Gate Park in that 80’s drug possession bust.
There are many Deadheads here but it comes and goes. The Dead isn’t something one brags about as so many don’t know.
I drive a Toyota Solara. I do have a Ford F-150 as my mountain car though.

I’m seeing on the NYT homepage that Maureen “Pot Brownies Almost Killed Me” Dowd has declared herself a Cubs fan because she went to Chicago over the weekend.
This lifelong, non-bandwagon Cubs fan says “Fuck off, MoDo. This is the ‘No MoDo’s Club.'”
The Grateful Dead are/were the most overrated band in the history of rock music. I have heard bands composed of junior high school kids with more talent than those flea-bitten losers. They sucked bad! Good riddance Jerry…

Longtime head here. Suspect Cole and I were at quite a few of the same shows in the 80s. Oh and fuck off Zinsky.

@T S: my friend Evan Edgar! One can see it parked on 21st st. Between Q and S. Gold, black roof, a great ship of the highway, dead head sticker squarely centered in the back window.
He’s a character, runs the Edgar Institute which advocates closed-loop recycling. He peddles it to an increasing number of farmers of many diverse crops or industry. 100% bio-dynamic, waste reducing, alternative energy/revenue generating, deep-red California Valley Ranchers-converting.
He lobbies at the Capital on same and has an incredible collection of political memorabilia and ephemera.
Serious Deadhead since the Band began.

@T S: 84 Cadillac El Dorado that I inherited when my mother-in-law passed away in 2008. Thing is a tank but it was the perfect High School cruising car for my kids…

A welcome reprieve from @Botsplainer, Cryptofascist Tool of the Oppressor Class’s thought experiment about Trumps America.

Looks like it’s from Dave Grisman’s daughters film. Nice.
I can’t believe it’s been 21 years since Jerry left his mortal coil.

It’s a Tuesday and I miss City of Heroes because tonight I’d be Tanking.
Tanker Tuesday Rules:
1) Always follow the Tanker
2) Witty Dies (No Exceptions)
3) If Something Bad Happens, Blame Rangle.

And for you people who only know the Dead
A friend of mine asked me
Where has he been
Where is he now?
I said he’s been set free
Shares a little joke with the world somehow
Sounded like he’d make a halo
When I heard his laughter floating
It’s all for fun you know
He said he just let go
Shares a little joke with the world

God Bless Jerry Garcia

How many Deadheads here drive Caddies? Be honest.

Some kind of edit problem. I had Caddy hubcaps on my truck until I found a sweet set of bowtie baby moons.

@raven: Cool. I just got done listening to a bunch of vintage Fairport Convention, so this made a nice segue!

@T S:
Here? Probably not many, but I also don’t think there are many Deadheads here.
Mustang Bobby might, but he’s a classic car aficionado, so he would do it ironically.

So the goal was to ruin my day completely then?
Mission accomplished!
(Any time I am forced to deal with anything Jerry Garcia or Grateful Dead related is, ipso facto, a very, very bad day.)

@kindness: Have a pristine copy of “Old and In the Way” I need to dig out and spin. Perfect tonic, indeed.

@Mnemosyne: More Deadheads than you think.

I almost never Comment, but I am on the farther end of the spectrum with respect to being a total Deadhead, and I read Balloon Juice every day.

Still miss Jerry. And I am a Deadhead who drive a Jeep
