Good. The last thing Chicago needs is even more smelly unwashed drug addled losers hanging around the loop.

“Trips? Trips? Trips?”

Of course, they also sell loose joints at these concerts...hopefully not cigarettes, though!

Molly, yes, loosies, no.

[Col Frank Slade]

What a smelly mess this will be.

[a fool in paradise]

Will there be a hologram Jerry Garcia?

[BBB333]

“Will there be a hologram Jerry Garcia?”

WOAH, DUDE! Can’t ‘cha see him?

[Jolla]

What did the Deadhead say when he ran out of drugs: Man this music sucks!

PS I do miss the Jerry Garcia Band

[a fool in paradise]

And the dancing sharks!

[Sasparilla]

“What a long, strange trip this has been.” Literally.

[rktman]

WHAT! No camping? Not likely to stop the OWS crowd. Now, the 60+ year olds that never grew up———————. Maybe they’ll just stay at chez obama overnight. Or penny pritzker could always put them up. Does billy boy asshat ayres have rooms to let?

The Bobby and Phil need money shows.

Drug addled buffoons. Boring music.

Bank.

I went to two Grateful Dead concerts Nassau Coliseum, NY in ‘73 and ‘74. You got your moneys worth— they played for long concerts. Not the same without Jerry— then again they’re getting too damn old. Give it up already—which I guess they are for big payoff.

These are baby boomers that retain THAT particular element of having not grown up ... kind'a like what we do here in FR ....

YOU know ... political protests and all that

We just do it in underwear (gasp) and smoking joints on the sly in between swigs of Jack Daniels

They probably have tons of money to spend, that Chicago could reap some profits from .... but nn-oooooo

Saw a Deadhead sticker on an Escalade,
Don't look back,
You can never look back

[Scoutmaster]

I miss the Jerry Garcia band as well . . . and Jerry with David Grisman . . . and the Dead with Jerry.

With some musicians, once you've heard one version of one of their songs, that's enough. With other singer-songwriters - Paul Simon, Bob Marley, Steve Goodman, Jerry Garcia, and a dozen or so other I could name - I'll stop and listen each time I hear them sing the same song a different way.

Let Paul Simon sing The Boxer again, or Marley sing No Woman, No Cry, or Garcia and The Dead sing Ripple, and it's I'm hearing the song for the first time.

Sometimes .... my memories are the sanest part of my consciousness and it's OH, so easy to slip slide away from the whippin' post, under the boardwalk, writing love letters in the sand

[Rome2000]

Problem solved.

[Organic Panic]

How many deadheads does it take to change a lightbulb?

None, they just let it burn out and follow it around for 40 years.

Hmmm....Donna Jean has aged a bit...as have many of us LOL.
