Tanks there Joe. I haven't read that for a few years, but It brought me back to the day. Oh, the day. When I as an uninformed head high in the sky punk of an excuse for a fan got floored by a call that changed my life. Cast such a sorrowful shadow upon my heart that all the memorabillia couldn't support. All the tapes, all the stubbs, all the posters, all the photos. All the friends, all the praise just couldn't, just can't bring back the one bear. Not one last song not one last note on his magical axe Like having that handful of sand, and while gently carressing it didn't notice the bottom was falling out. But alas, my friend, what we had was somethin' not to be experienced again in our life time... perhaps not even out kids life time. He was truely an angle sent by,.....big pause<welling up>.....heaven to open our eyes to a greater cause and a larger than life reason to appreciate every day we have with those we love. Well, I'm here lookin at the Kelly/Greene tribute poster with a young Jer. being haloed by those beautiful angles. That has become my favorite of the lot. It is proudly nestled in between Eurpoe '72, Mars Hotel, and my beloved blue rose. Now it seems befitting that it is raining today. Must be a short order meal dealt out to me on yet another blue day. Sorry for rambling here. First I been on this thing in a few days...

The Day They Busted The Grateful Dead The day they busted the Grateful Dead rain stormed against San Francisco like hot swampy scissors cutting Justice into the evil clothes that alligators wear. The day they busted the Grateful Dead was like a flight of winged alligators carefully measuring marble with black rubber telescopes. The day they busted the Grateful Dead turned like the wet breath of alligators blowing up balloons the size of the Halls of Justice. -Richard Brautigan (R.I.P) **********
