hey jaimoe' date=' what have you got against mickey hart? [/quote']

He snubbed Bouche and his deplorable jokes about Phil Lesh's liver.

hmmm...i didn't know about him snubbing bouche, i'm sure there's a longer story there. as far as the "liver of a jerk" comment is concerned, things seem to have gotten ugly in the GDP boardroom for a time after jerry died. he & phil seemed to have settled their differences, and on balance 30+ years of high quality weirdness cancels out a couple stupid comments. your mileage may vary

and brad, from what i've heard hickey mart is a very progressive employer

ed helms.

fatty or brownies?

dave, download Mozilla Thunderbird, when it sets up it will offer to import folders & addresses from nutscrape mail.

hey jaimoe, what have you got against mickey hart?

harry potter.

mandolin or banjo?

Dunnit depend on the dog, and what you fed him that day?

I mean, some people would pay top dollar for dog sh!t derived from, say, Kobe beef.

ok dr evil, , you spent too much time listening to dave wadell's japan stories

i've found the only thing that cures smelly birks is nothing. i've washed scrubbed bleached, nothing works.

"If you're hardcore throw your shoes in the fire!"

wow

what he said.

Tom is an amazing writer, this piece sure seeems like his style. can you imagine the reaction of straight parents hearing this at a commencement?

They don't mention if he was taken away by security afterwards, do they? Utah Phillips talked about doing a commencement speech that ended badly...he started off by telling them that "...you will hear over and over again today that you are this nation's most valuable natural resource. have you seen what this nation does to its' valuable natural resources? they'll strip mine your soul, clearcut your best ideas for the sake of a greasy buck..."

apparently this cayused some commotion, and he was basically escorted out. i would have loved to be a spectator at either of these events

suntanning.

mac or PC?

our lady peace and existentialism.

south park or family guy?

grace kelly.

buddha or jesus?

night.

brent or keith?

that's just awful, rev, what a thing to wake up to...i will keep my eyes open too, hope that your gear makes its' way back to you....

for live,

europe 72

and either

dead set or without a net.

all 3 are very accessible yet show what the band is capable of in a live setting.

Happy belated my friend, sounds like it was a good one!

what he said

sharon, that sucks. it's the worst feeling in the world to be in that sort of situation and be totally at odds with it.

when i was in college i worked as a pizza delivery guy in a really sketchy part of scarborough. one night while making a delivery to a particularly sketchy apartment complex (metro housing, urine-scented elevators...) i got on an elevator with 8 or 9 kids in the same age bkt as the ones you describe. they all started in on me...

(kids)"hey pizza man give us your pizza!"

(me)"ummm...no, it's for someone else."

(kids) "then give us your money"

*aggressive jostling by said kids*

(me) "NO. It's not my money.."

(kids) "we can TAKE your money, mister."

*elevator door thankfully opens*

i was at a loss as to what to say to cap off this excahnge, walked away (quickly) all the while ruminating on how things were going to hell, that I never would have behaved like that at 10 years old...the sad thing was they probably could have got my money, and had i been going to the 20th floor rhather than the 4th this might have ended very differently.

it was at that moment that i realized that (a) i'm on my way to being a geeky old fogey and ( gangs of kids are more than a little bit unnerving.

having found myself in similar albeit less weird and threatebning situations since, i have found that rational non profane highly sarcasm-laced calming speech (would you talk to your mother like this?) coupled with a subtle retreat is the best way to deal with such things.

the sad fact of the matter is that the jerk to decent citizen ratio is changing in a bad way...sorry, that's not very encouraging...but it sounds like you handled it the best way possible.

"cut it out you little fuckers, would you treat your mother like this" is also an acceptable response, so is "listen asshat, this dog bites" is also good...

gtta give depp credit for making this happen, although i understand that hst's widow was pretty supportive of the idea.

i wonder if they'll film it and do a tribute DVD? there's gotta be footage of hst around from lecture tours. i have heard a few lectures that he gave at journalism schools in the late 70's, pretty hilarious.

go to http://www.radio4all.net and search for hunter s thompson if you've not heard it.

hst continues to be as weird in death as he was in life!!

How come no one pronounces his name the way its spelled?

i think canadians are just too polite.

Happy Birthday Bruce,

May you have many more in health and happiness.

BTW I can't believe that Bruce Cockburn is sixty years old! He looks great for his age, it must be all that bike riding.

he claimed in an interview that his secret to stayin young was to continually turn band members over and keep bringing young guys in to back him up...seems to have worked!

i see a number of his shows on archive.org - anyone have suggestions as to a good one to start with?

esau, after reading your last post i went back & with a picture of arlo in my head listened again, whether it's power of suggestion or not i see where you're coming from

okay, i was skeptical, i clicked the link and am now listening to something that totally sounds like gram parsons circa 2005....not bad! not bad at all!

wow! sarah harmer is playing a show in georgetown at my local library theatre! this is good news indeed...i saw her on our local cable access channel earlier this week lobbying to have the quarries on the escarpment pay a higher premium for the aggregate they haul out. right now dufferin and the others pay $0.04 per tonne to the municipalities in order to blow up bits of the escarpment, truck it away and make roads out of it. apparently this is one of the lowest extraction fees on the planet, and to be chipping up something that the UN calls a "world biosphere reserve" just floors me.

i think it's amazing that she's using her celebrity for good, i'm going to get on the phone this morning & get me tickets....

thanks for posting this, KevO!!

happy birthday bruce! what can you say that bruce hasn't already put in to lyrics? way to make 60!

mmmm...pudding pops. that's freaking hilarious! good find brad!

the Indonesians are unfortunately really hardcore against drugs. same with malaysia. the first thing on the entry card they give you before you go to Customs is "Welcome to Malaysia - Death Penalty for Drug Traffickers." so their natural tendency is to lock people up first and not ask questions later. good for the australians for standing up for her. it is a little nuts to get that excited over a plant that ironically probably grows better in Bali than in Australia

after reading more of this thread, i'd like to retract the negotiation portion of my advice. i will henceforth stop complaining about neighbours i have had...i've been lucky enough to resolve disputes using cold beers and humility

in light of new evidence, learn your rights. i had always assumed 11pm to be the cutoff, i had no idea that there were bylaws letiing the cops shut you down any time. sheesh...people sure like their sleep
