>For once I can actually write: 'I am too young to remember that one.' :o) Actually, I do remember it, but I was 9 or 10 when it came out after Vietnam I think. 69 or 70, right?
70 is about right - but that was hardly *after* Vietnam. (uniformed folks out in '73, helicopters of the embassy roof '75 - Laos - well, that's more complicated ... )
> I had to listen to alot of music when I was young! That is how I came to love the GrateFul Dead
You should not have been doing acid when you were nine! (call me old fashioned <g> )
I went to every Dead concert in the Bay Area or nearby from about '74 to '88 (including the last New Years Eve at Winterland ) but hardly ever listened to recordings. Just not the same thing. There is an album called The Pizza Tapes with Jerry and David Grisman playing duets. Really an acoustic music master class. ( they also played together in the bluegrass band Old and In the Way )
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
