The Village Elders Have Spoken- and it DOES count if they
were wearing
tye dyed t-shirts when they do it.
Besides
I wore a t-shirt with a dancing skeleton on it and my lucky bracelet with little silver bone charms on it when I ran our caucus sight and people were good with that…after all, they had more important things to think about.

Look at this hip cat. It’s Barack ‘Barry’ Obama. His yearbook photo was always gonna be the best lookin’. I mean, can you imagine Hillary Clinton‘s thanking “the Choom Gang”? I bet the Chooms were a local group who specialised in acid fonnnk! Or they sounded like Billy Ocean. Either way, Baz had an afro, and afros look cool.Now, to further his cool (imagined or otherwise), The Grateful Dead are saying that Barack Obama embodies political hope which has been absent in the US since Robert Kennedyhad his head popped back and to the left.
The Dead like Barry Obama so much that they got back together on Monday to play a gig and get the back of the presidential candidate.Read over for some serious stuff… glib asides… and a brand new conspiracy theory…
“Every few generations a guy like this comes along,” Dead drummer Mickey Hart told a news conference. “It seems like desperate times and we’re desperate people.”
Indeed.
It can’t be easy livin’ in a country with a chimp and a big red button at the helm. Even though I know virtually nothing about American politics, it does seem that the damage done by Bush almost certainly ensures a Democrat win.
Even though that’s not amazingly interesting, it does point toward a first. America may be on the verge of gettin’ their first woman prez, or their first black prez. Interesting times.
So, the fact that the Grateful Dead have hopped on board in no surprise at all.
Bob Weir of the band (not The Band… don’t get ’em confused) said; “The last time hope was in the air, it was ended by a bullet (referring to JFK).”
Bassist Phil Lesh said he met Obama, who told him he has some Grateful Dead songs on his MP3 player. Bet he owns American Beauty and likes Box Of Rain best.Anyway, as tenuous as the link to music is, I still thought I’d tell yer about all this.
Oh. And the conspiracy theory… ( deleted by amm at I.B go ahead and put in your own)

“popped back and to the left”? are you sure it wasn’t to the right?
A Dead Head Wrote that.
Nuff said.
ok I don’t want to get into an argument with a Dead Head 🙂
