i would really love to sit down with carlson or coulter and dive deep into the relationships between their experiences with the grateful dead, and their opinions on the drug war and criminal justice. i think it would be really interesting if they actually gave it some thought.
to me, the "ethos" of the grateful dead and the scene outside the shows was in many ways very libertarian - the wild west, guns, personal freedom, personal responsibility, the free market, unregulated capitalism, patriotism, etc etc...for how "left" most people consider them, and how most fans would likely identify, the experience, at least for me, has never been in line with the ideals of mainstream democrats.
its really not so far off to think a few deadheads leave the scene, and become straight laced and mainstream as they get older and stop going to shows.
Carlson was almost likable when he was on CNN years ago. Then he went to Fox Noise and had to cater to the loonies so he turned into one himself.
Either way, I call bullshit on his "more than 50" Dead shows. He was at a boarding high school in Rhode Island in the late 80s, graduated from a small college in Connecticut in 92, then went to work for a newspaper in Arkansas. Doubt Jerry and the boys were swinging through Little Rock often.
> I would really love to sit down with carlson or coulter and dive deep into the relationships between their experiences with the grateful dead, and their opinions on the drug war and criminal justice. i think it would be really interesting if they actually gave it some thought.<
I'd like to hear Carlson elaborate on his opinion regarding child brides and statutory rape...
In a report from Media Matters, Carlson was outed for an interview he gave where he said underage marriage is not “the same thing exactly as pulling a child from a bus stop and sexually assaulting that child . . . The rapist, in this case, has made a lifelong commitment to live and take care of the person, so it is a little different.
*Full disclosure: I listen to the Dead (Pigpen years preferred) and went to a handful of GD concerts in the '90s. But that's also how I've gathered my participant observation data.
(((((Participant Observation Data)))))))
*And, I should add, the Dead were big college/frat favorites in the '80s, when Carlson was coming of age.
LOL
*People who didn't come of age in the early '90s don't realize we got ideas--to us that's dear. Like capitalism. Like communism. Like lots of things you've heard about. And redneckers, they get us pissed. And stupid stuff, it makes us shout.
((((((stupid stuff that makes you want to shout)))))
And now a message from Otis Day and The Nights....
He could easily get to 50 shows just during his college years in Connecticut. Probably saw some before he graduated from high school too. Dead played the northeast relentlessly, tons of preppy private school kids amongst the hoards.
I just googled Yael Rice and the school he teaches at was an epicenter of GD loving hippie prepsters. I am sure it is now an epicenter of hippie prepsters who love some other music. But it is true, I have taken people of color to shows and had them be like "Sooooo, this is really white."
Brayin' loves this guy, said he should have a statue in DC.
The entire Carlson rant in favor of “dissent,” mind you, was possible only because he declined to clue in his audience as to the hateful things he’d said in those radio chats.
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
It’s really not that much you can do to respond ... it’s pointless to try to explain how the words were spoken in jest or taken out of context, or in any case bear no resemblance to what you actually think or would want for the country.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
She just does seem a little c---y.
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
One side is deadly serious. They believe that politics is war. They are not interested in abstractions or principles, rules or traditions. They seek power and they claim to win it with whatever it takes. If that includes getting you fired or silencing you, or threatening your family at home, or throwing you in prison, okay. They know what their goal is. If you are in the way, they will crush you.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
Oh my God, she’s a pig. [in reference to Arianna Huffington]
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech
The left’s main goal, in case you haven’t noticed, is controlling what you think. In order to do that, they have to control the information that you receive.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
Underage marriage isn’t “the same thing exactly as pulling a child from a bus stop and sexually assaulting that child. ... The rapist in this case has made a lifelong commitment to live and take care of the person so it is a little different.”
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
One of the only places left in the United States where independent thoughts are allowed is right here. The opinion hours on this network. Just a few hours in a sea of television programming, it’s not much relatively speaking. For the left, it’s unacceptable. They demand total conformity.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
Somehow the rest of us have been bullied into pretending that Oprah’s great, that she doesn’t hate the penis, that she’s not anti-man.
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
The point of this show has never been us, but now it’s obvious to everybody. There is no pretending that it is not happening, it is happening and so going forward, we’ll be covering their efforts to make us be quiet.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
No, it’s just absolutely fundamental -- physically, the problems with [Elena Kagan] are fundamental. She’s never going to be an attractive woman.
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
You’ve got one channel that disagrees with all the other channels. You have an island of dissent in the middle of the sea of sameness, and that’s too much for them, and I wonder if we’ve been lying to ourselves about the extent to which they would like to shut this channel down.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
If you’re talking to a feminist, and she’s given you, “Well, men really need to be more sensitive,” [say] no, actually, men don’t need to be more sensitive. You just need to be quiet and kind of do what you’re told.
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
Why would they want to stop all dissent? What’s the point of that?
Speech that he’s actually defending:
There’s no Canadian woman that you’d want to pay to sleep with.
Curious timing to say the least, just as the Russia scam is evaporating into the ether...lots of parallels to the microcosm of these political threads. Take a few minutes and listen to his opening monologue from yesterday evening if you're able to tolerate an opposing viewpoint.
^ from the guy who told me for months to wave a Russian flag, if you honestly believe the Russia scam at this point you're completely brainwashed and there's little hope
A) misoginists: off-color conversation from a "shock-jock" radio show 12 years ago [I realize you're a true feminist, probably watching old Oprah episodes on your VCR & knitting pink hats as these words are typed] doesn't disqualify him from speaking truth to the media/DNC infrastructure.
an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument
At the end of the day, I realized long ago that the exposure of the Russia scam wouldn't necessarily go smoothly on this message board...I have unconditional love for you all, as I have stated many times, I'm going to meditate on that and return later, namaste, keep it real, love and indeed respect to all of you, Lumber first and foremost.
I want to see Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson posts their Deadsumes once and for all. I'm betting there's no way that pussy came near 50 Dead shows. More than likely, him and his frat bros saw a few 94-95 shows (with Jerry nodding off at the mic) and forgot about them until it became trendy to be a Deadhead years later. Like when actors and actresses starting popping up walking on Hollywood Blvd. wearing bedazzled Dead shirts.
I'm about to hit the links, I forget what I was going to mention, something along the lines of the psychedelic community attracting the best & brightest...unconditional love to each and every one of you. In a "first day of the rest of your life" type mentality, there's a vast territory to conquer. It's a brave new world.
Druba, I will especially pray for you and you are welcome to accompany me at any mass, I hope you have a beautiful lent & Easter season...you are loved.
Speaking of the Catholic Church, can you believe that the Church wants Pete Davidson to apologize for his joke comparing the Catholic Church to R. Kelly?
I don't understand why an apology is in order, hell, the Church had been involved in pedophilia for much longer than R. Kelly has...centuries vs decades.
Do you think it was the part about the music that offended Church officials?
Not everyone was laughing about Pete Davidson's joke on last weekend's episode of "Saturday Night Live."
The comedian opened his appearance on the faux-news "Weekend Update" segment with a line that drew some titters and stunned "oooooohs" from the audience: "This guy is a monster and he should go to jail forever," Davidson said, referring to R&B singer R. Kelly, who has been accused of sexually abusing young women. "But if you support the Catholic Church, isn't that like the same thing as being an R. Kelly fan? I don't really see the difference, except for one's music is significantly better."
Bryen the consummate republican. Noodler asks a simple, direct, not to hard to understand question. And B hits him with some," I'll pray for you ", horse shit. Really Bryan ? WTF I bet you are a hell of a dodgeball player. You're a master at the 5 D's
Dodge Dip Duck Dive + Dodge
Just when you think B's making progress, he seems to regress. We have to be vigilant with this pup
When the lie's so big
And the fog gets so thick
And the facts disappear
The republican trick
Can be played out again
People, please tell me when
We'll be rid of these men!
Just who do they really
Suppose that they are?
And how did they manage to travel as far
As they seem to have come?
Were we really that dumb?
People, wake up
Figure it out
Religious fanatics
Around and about
The court house, the state house,
The congress, the white house
^ this goes a long ways towards some of you not understanding Garcia...at the last ever Jerry Garcia Band show me & Cosmic Charlie may he rest in peace discussed Garcia's Catholicism at length during an unusually long intermission sitting in the balcony of the Warfield. I'm on the golf course right now, I do love you guys, if it weren't for Garcia's Catholicism there wouldn't be a Phil message board, so there's that.
1. “If I could conceive that the general government might ever be so administered as to render the liberty of conscience insecure, I beg you will be persuaded, that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious persecution.”
~Founding Father George Washington, letter to the United Baptist Chamber of Virginia, May 1789
2. “Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought to be deprecated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society.”
~Founding Father George Washington, letter to Edward Newenham, October 20, 1792
3. “We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition… In this enlightened Age and in this Land of equal liberty it is our boast, that a man’s religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the Laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest Offices that are known in the United States.”
~Founding Father George Washington, letter to the members of the New Church in Baltimore, January 27, 1793
4. “The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history. Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses.”
~John Adams, “A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America” 1787-1788
5. “The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.”
~1797 Treaty of Tripoli signed by Founding Father John Adams
6. “Thirteen governments [of the original states] thus founded on the natural authority of the people alone, without a pretence of miracle or mystery, and which are destined to spread over the northern part of that whole quarter of the globe, are a great point gained in favor of the rights of mankind.”
~Founding Father John Adams, “A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America” (1787-88)
7. “We should begin by setting conscience free. When all men of all religions shall enjoy equal liberty, property, and an equal chance for honors and power we may expect that improvements will be made in the human character and the state of society.”
~Founding FatherJohn Adams, letter to Dr. Price, April 8, 1785
8. “I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibit the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, letter to the Baptists of Danbury, Connecticut, 1802
9. “In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is error alone that needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Horatio Spofford, 1814
10. “Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, then that of blindfolded fear.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787
11. “I am for freedom of religion and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, letter to Elbridge Gerry, January 26, 1799
12. “History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson: in letter to Alexander von Humboldt, December 6, 1813
13. “Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person’s life, freedom of religion affects every individual. Religious institutions that use government power to support themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of the church tends to make the clergy unresponsive to the people and leads to corruption within religion. Erecting the “wall of separation between church and state,” therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society. We have solved … the great and interesting question whether freedom of religion is compatible with order in government and obedience to the laws. And we have experienced the quiet as well as the comfort which results from leaving every one to profess freely and openly those principles of religion which are the inductions of his own reason and the serious convictions of his own inquiries.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson: in a speech to the Virginia Baptists, 1808
14. “Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814,
15. “The civil government functions with complete success by the total separation of the Church from the State.”
~Founding Father James Madison, 1819, Writings, 8:432, quoted from Gene Garman, “Essays In Addition to America’s Real Religion”
16. “And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in shewing that religion & Govt will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.”
~Founding Father James Madison, letter to Edward Livingston, July 10, 1822
17. “Every new and successful example of a perfect separation between ecclesiastical and civil matters is of importance.”
~Founding Father James Madison, letter, 1822
18. “Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion and Government in the Constitution of the United States, the danger of encroachment by Ecclesiastical Bodies, may be illustrated by precedents already furnished in their short history.”
~Founding Father James Madison; Monopolies, Perpetuities, Corporations, Ecclesiastical Endowments
19. “It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising the sovereignty. Usurpation is then an easy attainment, and an usurper soon found. The people themselves become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin. Let us, then, look to the great cause, and endeavor to preserve it in full force. Let us by all wise and constitutional measures promote intelligence among the people as the best means of preserving our liberties.”
~Founding Father James Monroe, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1817
20. “When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obligated to call for help of the civil power, it’s a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.”
~Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, letter to Richard Price, October 9, 1780
21. “Manufacturers, who listening to the powerful invitations of a better price for their fabrics, or their labor, of greater cheapness of provisions and raw materials, of an exemption from the chief part of the taxes burdens and restraints, which they endure in the old world, of greater personal independence and consequence, under the operation of a more equal government, and of what is far more precious than mere religious toleration–a perfect equality of religious privileges; would probably flock from Europe to the United States to pursue their own trades or professions, if they were once made sensible of the advantages they would enjoy, and were inspired with an assurance of encouragement and employment, will, with difficulty, be induced to transplant themselves, with a view to becoming cultivators of the land.”
~Founding Father Alexander Hamilton: Report on the Subject of Manufacturers December 5, 1791
22. “In regard to religion, mutual toleration in the different professions thereof is what all good and candid minds in all ages have ever practiced, and both by precept and example inculcated on mankind.”
~Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists (1771)
23. “That religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forebearance, love, and charity towards each other.”
~Founding Father George Mason, Virginia Bill of Rights, 1776
24. “It is contrary to the principles of reason and justice that any should be compelled to contribute to the maintenance of a church with which their consciences will not permit them to join, and from which they can derive no benefit; for remedy whereof, and that equal liberty as well religious as civil, may be universally extended to all the good people of this commonwealth.”
~Founding Father George Mason, Virginia Declaration of Rights, 1776
25. “A man of abilities and character, of any sect whatever, may be admitted to any office or public trust under the United States. I am a friend to a variety of sects, because they keep one another in order. How many different sects are we composed of throughout the United States? How many different sects will be in congress? We cannot enumerate the sects that may be in congress. And there are so many now in the United States that they will prevent the establishment of any one sect in prejudice to the rest, and will forever oppose all attempts to infringe religious liberty. If such an attempt be made, will not the alarm be sounded throughout America? If congress be as wicked as we are foretold they will, they would not run the risk of exciting the resentment of all, or most of the religious sects in America.”
~Founding Father Edmund Randolph, address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 10, 1788
26. “I never liked the Hierarchy of the Church — an equality in the teacher of Religion, and a dependence on the people, are republican sentiments — but if the Clergy combine, they will have their influence on Government.”
~Founding Father Rufus King, Rufus King: American Federalist, pp. 56-57
27. “A general toleration of Religion appears to me the best means of peopling our country… The free exercise of religion hath stocked the Northern part of the continent with inhabitants; and altho’ Europe hath in great measure adopted a more moderate policy, yet the profession of Protestantism is extremely inconvenient in many places there. A Calvinist, a Lutheran, or Quaker, who hath felt these inconveniences in Europe, sails not to Virginia, where they are felt perhaps in a (greater degree).”
~Patrick Henry, observing that immigrants flock to places where there is no established religion, Religious Tolerance, 1766
28. “No religious doctrine shall be established by law.”
~Founding Father Elbridge Gerry, Annals of Congress 1:729-731
29. “Knowledge and liberty are so prevalent in this country, that I do not believe that the United States would ever be disposed to establish one religious sect, and lay all others under legal disabilities. But as we know not what may take place hereafter, and any such test would be exceedingly injurious to the rights of free citizens, I cannot think it altogether superfluous to have added a clause, which secures us from the possibility of such oppression.”
~Founding Father Oliver Wolcott, Connecticut Ratifying Convention, 9 January 1788
30. “Some very worthy persons, who have not had great advantages for information, have objected against that clause in the constitution which provides, that no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States. They have been afraid that this clause is unfavorable to religion. But my countrymen, the sole purpose and effect of it is to exclude persecution, and to secure to you the important right of religious liberty. We are almost the only people in the world, who have a full enjoyment of this important right of human nature. In our country every man has a right to worship God in that way which is most agreeable to his conscience. If he be a good and peaceable person he is liable to no penalties or incapacities on account of his religious sentiments; or in other words, he is not subject to persecution. But in other parts of the world, it has been, and still is, far different. Systems of religious error have been adopted, in times of ignorance. It has been the interest of tyrannical kings, popes, and prelates, to maintain these errors. When the clouds of ignorance began to vanish, and the people grew more enlightened, there was no other way to keep them in error, but to prohibit their altering their religious opinions by severe persecuting laws. In this way persecution became general throughout Europe.”
~Founding Father Oliver Ellsworth, Philip B Kurland and Ralph Lerner (eds.), The Founder’s Constitution, University of Chicago Press, 1987, Vol. 4, p. 638
31. “Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law. Take away the law-establishment, and every religion re-assumes its original benignity.”
~Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man, 1791
32. “God has appointed two kinds of government in the world, which are distinct in their nature, and ought never to be confounded together; one of which is called civil, the other ecclesiastical government.”
~Founding Father Isaac Backus, An Appeal to the Public for Religious Liberty, 1773
33. “Congress has no power to make any religious establishments.”
~Founding Father Roger Sherman, Congress, August 19, 1789
34. “The American states have gone far in assisting the progress of truth; but they have stopped short of perfection. They ought to have given every honest citizen an equal right to enjoy his religion and an equal title to all civil emoluments, without obliging him to tell his religion. Every interference of the civil power in regulating opinion, is an impious attempt to take the business of the Deity out of his own hands; and every preference given to any religious denomination, is so far slavery and bigotry.”
~Founding Father Noah Webster, calling for no religious tests to serve in public office, Sketches of American Policy, 1785
35. “The legislature of the United States shall pass no law on the subject of religion.”
~Founding Father Charles Pinckney, Constitutional Convention, 1787

J.C. Watts, Representative (R-Oklahoma), loud champion of "moral values." Has out-of-wedlock children.
This list was made before Mark Foley, David Vitter, Dennis Hastert, or Larry Craig!
The reason I brought up Charlie, was because it really was a true moment, we were sitting beside each other in the balcony of the Warfield during intermission...the last Jerry Garcia Band show ever, Jerry took such a long break it was a bit scary...anyways, as fate would have it we discussed Garcia's Catholicism at length, respectfully...in the context of without which we wouldn't be seated at the Warfield together. He was a great guy, Charlie...we once traveled from East Rutherford, NJ to Pine Knob MI together in my high school buddy's '65 split window VW, he had a deck of backstage laminates like a deck of cards, constant stories about pigpen & janis, he was hardcore Brooklyn, a gentleman's gentleman. The last time I saw him was at the final Furthur https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furthur_(band) shows at the Berkeley Greek, he showed up unannounced, enjoying the few people who knew who he was...he looked great and completely inspired...in a Levi's jean jacket, of course.
This is probably as appropriate a time as any to discuss my travels with the spinner family, it was truly amazing, I was honored & humbled to be on the road with a group of people who were so completely focused on the beauty and divinity of Jerry Garcia. I probably need additional time to tell the tale, but it was very special...there was nothing quite like traveling from Philo to Charlotte in 2.5 days...we'd circle 7 Toyota trucks in a New Mexico gas station and smoke large spliffs, there was strength in numbers and we felt protected which I believe we were.
On the east coast we'd often stay at private residences...east coast Jerry tour was "in and of itself" spiritual, you could look around at the 300 people or so that were at every show.
So the land in Philo was very special, it was originally an apple farm. There was a combination of Catholic doctrine, Hindu beliefs & Krishna consciousness, also, there was a lot of sewing...the most beautiful hand sewn dresses on tour, there was a lot of dancing, partaking of the best herb in America & celebration. At the daily ceremony, there would be a saying of the rosary, a Hindu reading, and Krishna chants. We were truly happy in Philo, the focus on Garcia as living, breathing evidence of divine intervention was one of the highlights of my life. The fatty circles in Madison Square Garden were pretty special too.
Lumber, why don't you crawl back under whatever rock you squirmed out from? Mr. "I stopped going to shows in '93 because Jerry wasn't playing up to my standards."

^yes, jerry was hopeless junkie, and this affected performance.
Vince didn't help either
<So while me and my buddies were on '93 Jerry tour you were sitting home in Jersey saying "Jerry's just not playing good enough to justify leaving the house"? <
Sure, because Jerry and the Dead were my only musical options. I am somewhat stunned by the idiocy of your question.
So when Jerry was playing near whatever rock you climbed out from under you said to yourself "he's just not meeting my expectations lately, I think I'll just kick it with my buddies at the bowling alley?
And post 92 i had no idea where or when jerry or the GD were playing... i didn't listen to any GD or jerry from about 1993-2008, the music bored me. I rarely listen to jerry or the GD these days for the same reason.
Do you pray for the thousands of children who were raped by Catholic priests?
^^^ No way B, you'll have to drag me away from a dead show kickin n screamin. Like a marriage man, for better and worse. Best song to come out of the post Brent era was Eternity. Willie fucking Dixon. If I stopped going I would have missed it @ Giants stadium in 93. Had such a good time at that show, fuck the rain.
Nancy, weren't you basically saying the same thing not long ago...Jerry wasn't meeting your musical expectations at such and such a timeframe, thus refusing to go see Jerry Garcia play guitar?
I hear ya, but this place, and especially the previous zone, has always been more Roman Coliseum than garden of Eden. The crowd always roars loudest when someone's being devoured.
Nancy, when was the last time you saw Jerry play guitar? Because I'm fairly certain you said something to the effect of "Jerry's not playing up to my expectations, therefore I won't go to any of his performances past such & such a calendar date."
It’s funny how you’ve tried to change the conversation from you defending child molesters into you defending Jerry Garcia who probably banged his fair share of underage girls.
^it's offensive to be disgusted by the Catholic church?
The Catholic church should sell all of their art and use the cash to help the poor. That, and they need to stop covering for the rapists in the clergy.
^Fortunately, my father refused to send me to Catholic school and i was not assaulted, but there were rapists in my parish.
All people should be outrage and disgusted the systemic rape of children and the subsequent cover up by church officials, Catholics should be especially outraged .
There were some very bright moments in Vegas '93. Especially that first half of second set on the last night. Phil helped that case (A LOT).
My last run of shows with Garcia were Salt Lake '95. Jerrys playing was weak, and he flubbed lyrics throughout. Sold our tix for the 3rd night (regretfully). The trip was saved by skiing Alta and a nice camping stop in Robbers Roost on the way there.
Saw one night of JGB at the Warfield in April (4/21/95?). Jerry remembered none of the words to Rueben & Cherise. His playing was decent, but nothing spectacular. The show was saved by his playing He Ain't Give You None and Positively 4th Street (although he botched all of the lyrics on that one two).
Finally, Vegas '95. Oy. Yea, the Dew was nice. But Jerry's attempt at Unbroken Chan was god awful. He was beats behind the band...a complete mess. The Other One is like really bad. Jerry's absent. Vegas saved the weekend by having WSP and Hot Tuna/Radiators supporting the GD-Lite/DMB shoe.
You can't make this sound good, Bryen, because it wasn't. After Vegas I was done making effort to spend vacation time and $$ to see the Dead.
Oh, I forgot before all that 1995 stuff the GD played McNichol's in Denver in December '94. Those shows were AWFUL.

* honorary mention: Ned...he doesn't like Jerry either
I got lost on the direction of this thread, but for those who try to drag Jer's name into any kind of religious argument, he was this he was that, for fucks sake stop being silly.
Jerry's religion was always the music. Period. And who cares when people stopped seeing the dead. I know some of the best deadheads who ever lived, that cashed em in after Pigpen couldn't play live anymore. So fucking what ?
Lumber...were you personally wronged by the Catholic Church, or are you just sensing that bashing the Catholic Church is the last culturally acceptable form of religious intolerance in America?
Slack, with the recent investigations into the matter by states attorneys general, i was curious if maybe some priests might address it during a sermon
Continue bashing the Catholic Church if that's what you need to do, Druba would approve, I'm sure it's a manifestation of your hostility towards Christianity, the #resistance would be proud, now go knit pink hats for your brethren.
Bible thumpers and Republicans are the worst hypocrites.
We’re bashing child rapists and those who defend child rape, you moron. And you’re defending child rapists. So piss off with your claim of victimization. I don’t give a rat’s ass what religion you’ve hitched your perv to.
Nancy, you're bashing the Catholic Church in a long standing tradition of hostility towards all things Catholic, don't pretend it's anything otherwise.
Bryen, choosing to defend something so vast in its evil transgressions is fighting a battle that can not and will not be won. There's no point to your arguments and you're only serving your own idea of fun in your arguments while causing discomfort. What the fuck for?
Of course B dosen't support pariah priests, but you backed him into such a tight corner its gonna take a while before he can get both feet out of his mouth to reply.
Big Steve Hour in 24 mins. He'll make you remember why we love each other.
Because Catholic bashing predates any recent scandal, it's an age old form of religious intolerance that is the last culturally acceptable form of bigotry.
I don't like institutions that support rape, and the raping of children
I don't like institutions that cover up rape, and the raping of children

I've volunteered for many excellent organizations that work with rape victims. I'm sure i've spent more one on one time with rape victims during my medical tenure than most of the fine travelers to this group.
What's truly offensive, isn't some meme portraying truth through biting satire, it's saying you're against war, but refuse to condemn a very long list of atrocities that have been discussed in a multitude of threads on this site. It shouldn't be hard to say Racism is wrong, or homophobia, or nationalism, or nazism, etc. And you keep making this pink hat joke, why do you hate rape victims, victims of sexual assault, and sexism in general, why is their symbol, and more importantly, what it represents, so offensive to you?
He backed himself into the corner, Ras, condemning predator priests and the church officials who enabled their crimes should be a slam dunk.
>Because Catholic bashing predates any recent scandal, it's an age old form of religious intolerance that is the last culturally acceptable form of bigotry.<
The "scandal " has been going on for centuries, you POS
There are about 1.4 billion Catholics in the world. The vast majority are wonderful people. Can we please not trash an entire religion because of a fucked up hierarchy? It’s no different than blaming all Muslims for the terrorist act of a few.
I would defer to Pope Francis on all commentary regarding the recent scandal...that being said, there is a longstanding pattern of open hostility towards Catholicism in this country and this particular community, ironically so, I realize some of you couldn't care less about Jerry Garcia or his faith, but if it weren't for Garcia's Catholicism there wouldn't have been a psychedelic revolution of consciousness, certainly not a movement you would recognize, and certainly not a black screen dedicated to the Grateful Dead Community that some of you utilize to voice your hostility towards the Catholic Church.
While we're on the subject, some of you seem to wear your hostility towards Christianity on your sleeve, I never understood that, I do not get that whatsoever, I don't understand how some of you who purportedly ingest psychedelics have an unabashed hostility towards Christianity.
> I know it, you know it, we all know it, I'm just trying to give my man an out. He didn't take it.
Bry claims that he and other sinners only need to answer to God and seek God’s forgiveness. A few minutes in the confession booth and they’re cool with child rape. judge not...yadda, yadda.
Of course Bry is happy to judge everyone who has a problem with child rapists and those who defend/cover for child rapists. How dare your criticize his cult!!!
Not hostile towards Christianity, just the Catholic priests who rape kids, and those like you who enable the the predator priests and the complicit hierarchy of the Church.
I just want to thank Byron for proving the point of this thread that there’s plenty of misogynist, child rape supporting Deadheads just like him and Tucker.
Other than defending child marriage and child sexual abuse, Carlson's message of hate and intolerance has earned him some interesting fans, other than you that is...
neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer regularly features videos of Carlson’s interviews under the headline “You Can’t Cuck The TUCK!” The site’s founder, Andrew Anglin, has called Carlson “our greatest ally” and a “machine of ultimate destruction” who “LAMPSHADE[S]” Jewish guests.
The former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke has praised Carlson for pushing back against “Jewish Supremacists” who “believe they are above the law.”
There are about 1.4 billion Catholics in the world. The vast majority are wonderful people. Can we please not trash an entire religion because of a fucked up hierarchy? It’s no different than blaming all Muslims for the terrorist act of a few.
^ while in theory i agree with this, however, the church and thus in many cases its follows are anti woman, anti gay and the 6% of all priests (if you believe the data shown in the film Spotlight and if you haven't seen it, you should) are Pedofiliacs, which the Vatican had covered up since the mid 60's . Besides in the words of George Harrison, "the pope owns 51% of general motors" so what do they do with all that money?

to me, the "ethos" of the grateful dead and the scene outside the shows was in many ways very libertarian - the wild west, guns, personal freedom, personal responsibility, the free market, unregulated capitalism, patriotism, etc etc...for how "left" most people consider them, and how most fans would likely identify, the experience, at least for me, has never been in line with the ideals of mainstream democrats.

Either way, I call bullshit on his "more than 50" Dead shows. He was at a boarding high school in Rhode Island in the late 80s, graduated from a small college in Connecticut in 92, then went to work for a newspaper in Arkansas. Doubt Jerry and the boys were swinging through Little Rock often.

I'd like to hear Carlson elaborate on his opinion regarding child brides and statutory rape...
In a report from Media Matters, Carlson was outed for an interview he gave where he said underage marriage is not “the same thing exactly as pulling a child from a bus stop and sexually assaulting that child . . . The rapist, in this case, has made a lifelong commitment to live and take care of the person, so it is a little different.

Brayin' loves this guy, said he should have a statue in DC.
The entire Carlson rant in favor of “dissent,” mind you, was possible only because he declined to clue in his audience as to the hateful things he’d said in those radio chats.
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
It’s really not that much you can do to respond ... it’s pointless to try to explain how the words were spoken in jest or taken out of context, or in any case bear no resemblance to what you actually think or would want for the country.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
She just does seem a little c---y.
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
One side is deadly serious. They believe that politics is war. They are not interested in abstractions or principles, rules or traditions. They seek power and they claim to win it with whatever it takes. If that includes getting you fired or silencing you, or threatening your family at home, or throwing you in prison, okay. They know what their goal is. If you are in the way, they will crush you.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
Oh my God, she’s a pig. [in reference to Arianna Huffington]
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech
The left’s main goal, in case you haven’t noticed, is controlling what you think. In order to do that, they have to control the information that you receive.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
Underage marriage isn’t “the same thing exactly as pulling a child from a bus stop and sexually assaulting that child. ... The rapist in this case has made a lifelong commitment to live and take care of the person so it is a little different.”
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
One of the only places left in the United States where independent thoughts are allowed is right here. The opinion hours on this network. Just a few hours in a sea of television programming, it’s not much relatively speaking. For the left, it’s unacceptable. They demand total conformity.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
Somehow the rest of us have been bullied into pretending that Oprah’s great, that she doesn’t hate the penis, that she’s not anti-man.
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
The point of this show has never been us, but now it’s obvious to everybody. There is no pretending that it is not happening, it is happening and so going forward, we’ll be covering their efforts to make us be quiet.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
No, it’s just absolutely fundamental -- physically, the problems with [Elena Kagan] are fundamental. She’s never going to be an attractive woman.
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
You’ve got one channel that disagrees with all the other channels. You have an island of dissent in the middle of the sea of sameness, and that’s too much for them, and I wonder if we’ve been lying to ourselves about the extent to which they would like to shut this channel down.
Speech that he’s actually defending:
If you’re talking to a feminist, and she’s given you, “Well, men really need to be more sensitive,” [say] no, actually, men don’t need to be more sensitive. You just need to be quiet and kind of do what you’re told.
Self-righteous pronouncement in favor of free speech:
Why would they want to stop all dissent? What’s the point of that?
Speech that he’s actually defending:
There’s no Canadian woman that you’d want to pay to sleep with.

Speaking of the Catholic Church, can you believe that the Church wants Pete Davidson to apologize for his joke comparing the Catholic Church to R. Kelly?
I don't understand why an apology is in order, hell, the Church had been involved in pedophilia for much longer than R. Kelly has...centuries vs decades.
Do you think it was the part about the music that offended Church officials?
Not everyone was laughing about Pete Davidson's joke on last weekend's episode of "Saturday Night Live."
The comedian opened his appearance on the faux-news "Weekend Update" segment with a line that drew some titters and stunned "oooooohs" from the audience: "This guy is a monster and he should go to jail forever," Davidson said, referring to R&B singer R. Kelly, who has been accused of sexually abusing young women. "But if you support the Catholic Church, isn't that like the same thing as being an R. Kelly fan? I don't really see the difference, except for one's music is significantly better."

1. “If I could conceive that the general government might ever be so administered as to render the liberty of conscience insecure, I beg you will be persuaded, that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious persecution.”
~Founding Father George Washington, letter to the United Baptist Chamber of Virginia, May 1789
2. “Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought to be deprecated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society.”
~Founding Father George Washington, letter to Edward Newenham, October 20, 1792
3. “We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition… In this enlightened Age and in this Land of equal liberty it is our boast, that a man’s religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the Laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest Offices that are known in the United States.”
~Founding Father George Washington, letter to the members of the New Church in Baltimore, January 27, 1793
4. “The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history. Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses.”
~John Adams, “A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America” 1787-1788
5. “The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.”

6. “Thirteen governments [of the original states] thus founded on the natural authority of the people alone, without a pretence of miracle or mystery, and which are destined to spread over the northern part of that whole quarter of the globe, are a great point gained in favor of the rights of mankind.”
~Founding Father John Adams, “A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America” (1787-88)
7. “We should begin by setting conscience free. When all men of all religions shall enjoy equal liberty, property, and an equal chance for honors and power we may expect that improvements will be made in the human character and the state of society.”
~Founding FatherJohn Adams, letter to Dr. Price, April 8, 1785
8. “I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibit the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, letter to the Baptists of Danbury, Connecticut, 1802
9. “In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is error alone that needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Horatio Spofford, 1814
10. “Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, then that of blindfolded fear.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787
11. “I am for freedom of religion and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, letter to Elbridge Gerry, January 26, 1799
12. “History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson: in letter to Alexander von Humboldt, December 6, 1813
13. “Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person’s life, freedom of religion affects every individual. Religious institutions that use government power to support themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of the church tends to make the clergy unresponsive to the people and leads to corruption within religion. Erecting the “wall of separation between church and state,” therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society. We have solved … the great and interesting question whether freedom of religion is compatible with order in government and obedience to the laws. And we have experienced the quiet as well as the comfort which results from leaving every one to profess freely and openly those principles of religion which are the inductions of his own reason and the serious convictions of his own inquiries.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson: in a speech to the Virginia Baptists, 1808
14. “Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814,
15. “The civil government functions with complete success by the total separation of the Church from the State.”
~Founding Father James Madison, 1819, Writings, 8:432, quoted from Gene Garman, “Essays In Addition to America’s Real Religion”
16. “And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in shewing that religion & Govt will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.”
~Founding Father James Madison, letter to Edward Livingston, July 10, 1822
17. “Every new and successful example of a perfect separation between ecclesiastical and civil matters is of importance.”
~Founding Father James Madison, letter, 1822
18. “Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion and Government in the Constitution of the United States, the danger of encroachment by Ecclesiastical Bodies, may be illustrated by precedents already furnished in their short history.”
~Founding Father James Madison; Monopolies, Perpetuities, Corporations, Ecclesiastical Endowments
19. “It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising the sovereignty. Usurpation is then an easy attainment, and an usurper soon found. The people themselves become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin. Let us, then, look to the great cause, and endeavor to preserve it in full force. Let us by all wise and constitutional measures promote intelligence among the people as the best means of preserving our liberties.”
~Founding Father James Monroe, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1817
20. “When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obligated to call for help of the civil power, it’s a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.”
~Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, letter to Richard Price, October 9, 1780
21. “Manufacturers, who listening to the powerful invitations of a better price for their fabrics, or their labor, of greater cheapness of provisions and raw materials, of an exemption from the chief part of the taxes burdens and restraints, which they endure in the old world, of greater personal independence and consequence, under the operation of a more equal government, and of what is far more precious than mere religious toleration–a perfect equality of religious privileges; would probably flock from Europe to the United States to pursue their own trades or professions, if they were once made sensible of the advantages they would enjoy, and were inspired with an assurance of encouragement and employment, will, with difficulty, be induced to transplant themselves, with a view to becoming cultivators of the land.”
~Founding Father Alexander Hamilton: Report on the Subject of Manufacturers December 5, 1791
22. “In regard to religion, mutual toleration in the different professions thereof is what all good and candid minds in all ages have ever practiced, and both by precept and example inculcated on mankind.”
~Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists (1771)
23. “That religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forebearance, love, and charity towards each other.”
~Founding Father George Mason, Virginia Bill of Rights, 1776
24. “It is contrary to the principles of reason and justice that any should be compelled to contribute to the maintenance of a church with which their consciences will not permit them to join, and from which they can derive no benefit; for remedy whereof, and that equal liberty as well religious as civil, may be universally extended to all the good people of this commonwealth.”
~Founding Father George Mason, Virginia Declaration of Rights, 1776
25. “A man of abilities and character, of any sect whatever, may be admitted to any office or public trust under the United States. I am a friend to a variety of sects, because they keep one another in order. How many different sects are we composed of throughout the United States? How many different sects will be in congress? We cannot enumerate the sects that may be in congress. And there are so many now in the United States that they will prevent the establishment of any one sect in prejudice to the rest, and will forever oppose all attempts to infringe religious liberty. If such an attempt be made, will not the alarm be sounded throughout America? If congress be as wicked as we are foretold they will, they would not run the risk of exciting the resentment of all, or most of the religious sects in America.”
~Founding Father Edmund Randolph, address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 10, 1788
26. “I never liked the Hierarchy of the Church — an equality in the teacher of Religion, and a dependence on the people, are republican sentiments — but if the Clergy combine, they will have their influence on Government.”
~Founding Father Rufus King, Rufus King: American Federalist, pp. 56-57
27. “A general toleration of Religion appears to me the best means of peopling our country… The free exercise of religion hath stocked the Northern part of the continent with inhabitants; and altho’ Europe hath in great measure adopted a more moderate policy, yet the profession of Protestantism is extremely inconvenient in many places there. A Calvinist, a Lutheran, or Quaker, who hath felt these inconveniences in Europe, sails not to Virginia, where they are felt perhaps in a (greater degree).”
~Patrick Henry, observing that immigrants flock to places where there is no established religion, Religious Tolerance, 1766
28. “No religious doctrine shall be established by law.”
~Founding Father Elbridge Gerry, Annals of Congress 1:729-731
29. “Knowledge and liberty are so prevalent in this country, that I do not believe that the United States would ever be disposed to establish one religious sect, and lay all others under legal disabilities. But as we know not what may take place hereafter, and any such test would be exceedingly injurious to the rights of free citizens, I cannot think it altogether superfluous to have added a clause, which secures us from the possibility of such oppression.”
~Founding Father Oliver Wolcott, Connecticut Ratifying Convention, 9 January 1788
30. “Some very worthy persons, who have not had great advantages for information, have objected against that clause in the constitution which provides, that no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States. They have been afraid that this clause is unfavorable to religion. But my countrymen, the sole purpose and effect of it is to exclude persecution, and to secure to you the important right of religious liberty. We are almost the only people in the world, who have a full enjoyment of this important right of human nature. In our country every man has a right to worship God in that way which is most agreeable to his conscience. If he be a good and peaceable person he is liable to no penalties or incapacities on account of his religious sentiments; or in other words, he is not subject to persecution. But in other parts of the world, it has been, and still is, far different. Systems of religious error have been adopted, in times of ignorance. It has been the interest of tyrannical kings, popes, and prelates, to maintain these errors. When the clouds of ignorance began to vanish, and the people grew more enlightened, there was no other way to keep them in error, but to prohibit their altering their religious opinions by severe persecuting laws. In this way persecution became general throughout Europe.”
~Founding Father Oliver Ellsworth, Philip B Kurland and Ralph Lerner (eds.), The Founder’s Constitution, University of Chicago Press, 1987, Vol. 4, p. 638
31. “Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law. Take away the law-establishment, and every religion re-assumes its original benignity.”
~Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man, 1791
32. “God has appointed two kinds of government in the world, which are distinct in their nature, and ought never to be confounded together; one of which is called civil, the other ecclesiastical government.”
~Founding Father Isaac Backus, An Appeal to the Public for Religious Liberty, 1773
33. “Congress has no power to make any religious establishments.”
~Founding Father Roger Sherman, Congress, August 19, 1789
34. “The American states have gone far in assisting the progress of truth; but they have stopped short of perfection. They ought to have given every honest citizen an equal right to enjoy his religion and an equal title to all civil emoluments, without obliging him to tell his religion. Every interference of the civil power in regulating opinion, is an impious attempt to take the business of the Deity out of his own hands; and every preference given to any religious denomination, is so far slavery and bigotry.”
~Founding Father Noah Webster, calling for no religious tests to serve in public office, Sketches of American Policy, 1785
35. “The legislature of the United States shall pass no law on the subject of religion.”
~Founding Father Charles Pinckney, Constitutional Convention, 1787

He was a great guy, Charlie...we once traveled from East Rutherford, NJ to Pine Knob MI together in my high school buddy's '65 split window VW, he had a deck of backstage laminates like a deck of cards, constant stories about pigpen & janis, he was hardcore Brooklyn, a gentleman's gentleman. The last time I saw him was at the final Furthur

This is probably as appropriate a time as any to discuss my travels with the spinner family, it was truly amazing, I was honored & humbled to be on the road with a group of people who were so completely focused on the beauty and divinity of Jerry Garcia. I probably need additional time to tell the tale, but it was very special...there was nothing quite like traveling from Philo to Charlotte in 2.5 days...we'd circle 7 Toyota trucks in a New Mexico gas station and smoke large spliffs, there was strength in numbers and we felt protected which I believe we were.
On the east coast we'd often stay at private residences...east coast Jerry tour was "in and of itself" spiritual, you could look around at the 300 people or so that were at every show.

So the land in Philo was very special, it was originally an apple farm. There was a combination of Catholic doctrine, Hindu beliefs & Krishna consciousness, also, there was a lot of sewing...the most beautiful hand sewn dresses on tour, there was a lot of dancing, partaking of the best herb in America & celebration. At the daily ceremony, there would be a saying of the rosary, a Hindu reading, and Krishna chants. We were truly happy in Philo, the focus on Garcia as living, breathing evidence of divine intervention was one of the highlights of my life. The fatty circles in Madison Square Garden were pretty special too.

There were some very bright moments in Vegas '93. Especially that first half of second set on the last night. Phil helped that case (A LOT).
My last run of shows with Garcia were Salt Lake '95. Jerrys playing was weak, and he flubbed lyrics throughout. Sold our tix for the 3rd night (regretfully). The trip was saved by skiing Alta and a nice camping stop in Robbers Roost on the way there.
Saw one night of JGB at the Warfield in April (4/21/95?). Jerry remembered none of the words to Rueben & Cherise. His playing was decent, but nothing spectacular. The show was saved by his playing He Ain't Give You None and Positively 4th Street (although he botched all of the lyrics on that one two).
Finally, Vegas '95. Oy. Yea, the Dew was nice. But Jerry's attempt at Unbroken Chan was god awful. He was beats behind the band...a complete mess. The Other One is like really bad. Jerry's absent. Vegas saved the weekend by having WSP and Hot Tuna/Radiators supporting the GD-Lite/DMB shoe.
You can't make this sound good, Bryen, because it wasn't. After Vegas I was done making effort to spend vacation time and $$ to see the Dead.
Oh, I forgot before all that 1995 stuff the GD played McNichol's in Denver in December '94. Those shows were AWFUL.

I would defer to Pope Francis on all commentary regarding the recent scandal...that being said, there is a longstanding pattern of open hostility towards Catholicism in this country and this particular community, ironically so, I realize some of you couldn't care less about Jerry Garcia or his faith, but if it weren't for Garcia's Catholicism there wouldn't have been a psychedelic revolution of consciousness, certainly not a movement you would recognize, and certainly not a black screen dedicated to the Grateful Dead Community that some of you utilize to voice your hostility towards the Catholic Church.
While we're on the subject, some of you seem to wear your hostility towards Christianity on your sleeve, I never understood that, I do not get that whatsoever, I don't understand how some of you who purportedly ingest psychedelics have an unabashed hostility towards Christianity.
