   thank you! I always appreciate the Dead. Interesting choice of video to match it.

     Yes, I liked the music, and the video. Look how close that celluloid was to disintegration when they transfered it to video.  

     My wife introduced me to the Dead in the late ’80’s; I enjoyed the open, pleasant improvisational cooperation between performer and audience at their shows. We both introduced our 20-year-old friend Heather to the Dead. We explained that, even though the show was a public event, every once in a while people overcome by ideology or haluccinogens would take their clothes off and interact. Heather said, “Noooo, that would never happen. We’re in a coliseum!”

     Not ten seconds later, my wife said, “Well, there you are,” pointing out a naked guy fifteen feet away. We watched him briefly join a human ball before threading his way slowly through the crowd.

     Thirty seconds later, two security guards threaded through the crowd in very casual pursuit.

       the disintegration is what makes it so appropriately trippy.

   Is anyone following David Plouffe’s new Twitter?

   It’s funny – I never realized how much pure contempt he had for the Republican political class. He just totally looks down, doesn’t respect them at all. He’s a big shit talker. It’s hilarious. He loves to burn them, and you know the smart ones among those bastards feel each one, deep. He kicked their asses twice in a row. Some recent favorites:

     Goat rodeo? Oh shit, that’s funny. Yeah, Plouffe’s down in this forum, all right. Fun to know.
