Re: Deadheads vs. Solidarity, to Rich Rosen: Yeah, you're right, there's no way that one can submit a valid comparison, there just isn't the commitment borne of pure persecution in our suburban lounge culture to compare with the absolute scrapping that such groups as Solidarity must accomplish to even survive as an entity. The Greatful Dead make good music, they've been doing so for many, many years, they offer substance with the rhythms, which have earned them many fans. Putting deep political meaning into the Deadhead org. much beyond the rock n' roll, entertainment side of things seems to me to become the opinion of the individuals, moreso than a true reflection of ALL the members of this admittably varied group of people. Watching the Dead personnel go through life, and seeing how they handle situations, provides inspiration to many, but it still boils down that the MUSIC brings us together, no matter how old we are or wish we were. See you all at Irvine Meadows Saturday night! Jim Wenner XEROX Microelectronics Center, El Segundo CA (213)-536-9582
