Summary: ha!


Sure, it's just great man, take a few hits of this and
groove to the sounds of un-tuned instruments and `musicians'
playing the same 10 songs they've played for the last five 
years.  Cool.  Doesn't matter anyway, you won't remember
what happened the night before, so the next time you hear the
song, it will be a new experience.  Wow!  Why didn't I think
of that?  Hear a song for the first time, blow my brains on
some cool drugs, forget all about it, then next time-- bang!
whole new song!  Who needs progressive/new music anyway?

I don't see why there isn't just ONE grateful dead song.  It
would be so much cheaper (ie. vinyl, mylar).

Please, someone explain why anyone would go 50 or more (500!)
miles out of their way to go see a `dead' concert.  Is it just
some *religious* experience, or maybe something ~more~.

Really, I can't understand the concept of `deadhead', but if
there's a lot of people who like the ~same~ music you like, then
hey great, my ego sure feels good!

I spoke to one of my friends who used to be a deadhead (ie
left school to follow them), and she just was into them coz
it was cool, you know, the thing to do.  I'm glad she's grown
up since then, what about the rest of you?
