That would have been burned forever into my memory as a traumatic event.<BR/><BR/>I'm not such a jam-band fan.

I will always remember the exact process.<BR/><BR/>Week 1: all Zeppelin<BR/>Week 3: all Zeppelin and Pink Floyd<BR/>So far so good<BR/>Week 5: all Zeppelin, Floyd, and ZZ Top<BR/>WHAT?<BR/>Week 6:Zeppelin, Floyd, Top, Stones<BR/>Week 7:bad heavy metal.<BR/><BR/>The thing that makes all Dead never boring is that they were the ultimate improvisation band. While the lyrics would remain usually constant (barring forgetting them) the music would alway go off in various directions. Some songs might go on for 30 minutes even. They would react to the mood of the crowd and amplify it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15897700063744746464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30951741.post-56971607906015988112007-09-09T23:26:00.000-04:002007-09-09T23:26:00.000-04:00A Deadhead!

My pop-cultural knowledge has serious gaps. I guess I was just trying to let you know I was here, but didn't have anything substantive to add to the discussion.<BR/><BR/>But there was some fantastic Dead footage in the excellent 2003 documentary <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372279/" REL="nofollow">Festival Express</A>.Camille Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031841106283355784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30951741.post-34402641528123871182007-09-09T12:54:00.000-04:002007-09-09T12:54:00.000-04:00Yes, I am a Deadhead (or as a close friend used to...Yes, I am a Deadhead (or as a close friend used to put it- dead from the neck up). The secret is out. I hope that doesn't lower your opinion of me.<BR/><BR/>Birdie,<BR/>Do I get the impression you do not approve?<BR/><BR/>Golden,<BR/>There is such a thing as too much of anything. In my 5 years of being an active Deadhead (going to shows), I never spent money I did not have, nor miss work to see them. I did travel across the country twice to see them, but once was on vacation and the other time was when I was moving to the West Coast. Jerry is dead, but I am not sure how Grateful he is about it.<BR/><BR/>Hi mom. <BR/><BR/>Yes fellow lemmings, that is my real and actual mother. Yes I actually have one.

Perhaps you should let Sirius know about your need for only one channel. They might give you a discount for that and for this nice plug for them.
