Beat your fists bloody against the wall. Alternate between wailing loudly and wimpering softly. Be sure to accuse the first loved one you encounter for all the problems in your world and continue beating fists bloody against the wall.

for the wang:

One Eyed Wonder Weasel

The Purple Helmet

Trouser Snake

I'm not talkin' you out of it - I'm sayin' best of luck!

well, good luck with it Jay. If you bring the show, I hope it's a success dude!

Do you think we could get 225 people out to see 'em ?

I can't see them pulling bigger numbers than The Slip, and I understand The Slip fell below 225 last time at the Mod Club.

ok, the premise being "an accurate representation of the artist's overall sound", I'd say ToG is almost exactly that. It's a bouncy major-key song in a long line of such numbers for Garcia and the Dead (see: Foolish Heart, Sugar Magnolia, Franklin's Tower, for Garcia specifically see: Run For The Roses, Valerie, Reuben & Cerise etc.). From Brent's organ lines to Garcia's bell-like solo, the slippery grooves - it actually represents the Dead pretty well, imo. It's not a left-field number, it's not unrepresentative and yes I would love a sandwich thank you.

All the other choices I can see - Led Zep didn't really do a lot of country ho-downs, Stevie Wonder's career is far more substantial than that pap, Bobby McFerrin is actually one of the world's most gifted singers but that song kind of distracts from that...... so go ahead and leave ToG in, I just don't fully agree.

gotcha Greg, thanks.

bradm - I dispute your choice. Please explain how Touch of Grey doesn't sound like the Grateful Dead.

I've accomplished nothing here at work while I just sit and think about this.

I love Satan and all the wonderful things he does for us.

"you know, this is great and all, but it would so much better if *I* were up there......"

See Michael Ray in Albany 9.9.2000 with Phish for what not to do............

? I thought he was a lot of fun. He had some trouble with his horn or something and decided to.... breakdance or something for a while. But it was a blast. And I'm sure he was invited.
