SANTA CRUZ -- The Grateful Dead Archive has taken another step in its long strange trip, from the UC Santa Cruz library to its own Web site, The Virtual Terrapin Station.
One of the most popular bands in rock 'n' roll history will have its legacy including photos, show tickets, toys, posters and recordings preserved online thanks to a federal grant. The Grateful Dead Archive, housed at the McHenry Library, has been awarded $615,175 by the Institute of Museum and Library Services to photograph and scan collection images and upload them. The public will be able to access the online collection and offer fans the opportunity to contribute to the collection by digitally submitting photos.

Red and white, blue suede shoes, I’m Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I’m still alive, ain’t no luck, I learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don’t change. Stay seventy-two come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.
I’m Uncle Sam, that’s who I am; Been hidin’ out in a rock and roll band.
Shake the hand that shook the hand of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan.
Shine your shoes, light your fuse. Can you use them ol’ U.S. Blues?
I’ll drink your health, share your wealth, run your life, steal your wife.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.
Back to back chicken shack. Son of a gun, better change your act.
We’re all confused, what’s to lose?
You can call this song, the United States Blues.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.
Well, if it’s online, maybe the DeadHeads can just look at it on the net and stop polluting this place.
What did one Deadhead say to the other after the drugs had worn off?
“Man! This music SUCKS!!!!”

Come on pissant,

Nice to know another $600,000 of my kids (and their kids) money is going to a great cause: stimulus, helping employ another person, maybe two, for a month or two.

I donz’t whant youz stinkin’ lyrices. Just bring me the skull of Jerry Garcia!
I actually like the Dead. They have some very classic songs.
Where is the federal grant for Black Flag?
Look at that center stanza. Even the dead knew what’s what about the little dictators running Washington.
I love Peckinpah.
Do you think they’ll fund my “A Flock of Seagulls” Tribute site?
What’s orange and looks good on a hippie?
