Here’s what they played…
Start Me Up,
You Got me Rocking,
Shattered,
Tumblin’ Dice,
Rough Justice,
Back Of My Hand,
Beast Of Burden,
She’s So Cold,
Heartbreaker,
Night Time Is The Right Time,
The Worst,
Infamy,
Miss you,
On No Not You Again,
Satisfaction,
Honky Tonk Woman,
Out Of Control,
Sympathy,
JJ Flash,
Brown Sugar,
You Can’t Always Get What You Want,
Its Only Rock And Roll

Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia.
("Ripple" composed and written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter. Reproduced by arrangement with Ice Nine Publishing Co., Inc. (ASCAP))
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they’re better left unsung
I don’t know, don’t really care
Let there be songs to fill the air(Chorus)
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blowReach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of menThere is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone(Chorus)
You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who’s to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home

I’ve signed the petition in support of a commemorative stamp honoring Jerry Garcia. I’m number 7240, never a leader but always involved. I hope you’ll consider signing too.
Thanks to Beth for bringing this opportunity to my attention.

Go over to Rageboy’s "Mystic Bourgeoisie." Follow the link to Steven Weinberg’s essay. Learn more than you need to know about the origin of the universe and what-not. Then, express your gratitude for enlightenment by clicking on his paypal link and giving generously.
What we’re looking for here is a broad base of community support. Please stop him before he spams again!
[Update… too late! I had barely hit the "save" button when the link to the Weinberg essay and RB’s critical assessment of Ralfualdo was buried in a better bed of butter as one might say. The post was pushed down by this one, which I will now read and pay for the privilege. You should too. really. The world will be a better place and the the whole softcore witchy thing is good for an aging prostate.]

Madame Levy shares her experience at La Route de Rock or whatever TF it was called… she’s all like,
"…the sight of
a bunch of cadaverous palefaces who did not move a centimeter while Gaelle was
throwing down an incredibly inspired extended solo, well, let’s just say it
pains me. Sheep fuckers.(No wonder they turned over for the Germans.)And people, I am rude, strong language
advisory and shit. I’m not going to be
doing WheelsOnTheBus anytime soon."
and,
"The one saving grace that
I have is that I am still a fan. Music
is still a mystery to me. And in the end
it’s all about praising if you know what I mean. An attempt to reach
all that is. When I go to see/hear music I don’t hold
back. Recently I went to see some gypsy
music in a village not too far from here. These guys were fucking
amazing. There were probably 40 people in the crowd and of course it
was me
yelling the loudest. TFM gets
embarrassed but you can’t let that be no problem."
I think you gotta gop read it, and the last week’s posts.
