I suppose it is in the nature of some humans to "joke on the way to the graveyard," but I did not find that comment in the least funny. Clever, yes. But inordinately cruel, also yes. There are 200+ families grieving their lost loved ones, Egypt Air employees who are in shock and grief, families whose Thanksgiving tables will have empty chairs. In a word, unfunny.

FWIW I loved it. Egypt Air is running a new special fare, for $79.95 they'll fly you from JFK to JFK jr.

For better or worse here comes GRATEFULSOFT: The cause of the rift between surviving members of the Grateful Dead that has kept them apart since Fall of '98 is finally coming to light. Indications are that Phil (Lesh) disagrees with other surviving members about the 'corporate existence' of The Grateful Dead. Despite all the speculation that included rumors of a disagree- ment over guitarists, it seems that business/money is the driving force behind the separation. The board of Grateful Dead Productions, which includes the surviving members, CEO Peter McQuaid, and others, is considering a deal with Microsoft that would hand over the contents of the vault. The Grateful Dead would therefore no longer own their own music and would not have control over the future of the music (ready to hear Truckin' on a Ford commercial?). More: #reply-12187592
