Here at the ultra-conservative university that I have been calling
home for some time, the greeks have been latching on to some of the
deadhead motif. I base this only on observations of t-shirts I see
on campus. Most recently there have been dancing bears everywhere,
as some sort of inter-frat-soro activity marked their event with a 
shirt that has a bear for each participating group. Thus there are
about 30-40 copies of a bear arranged unimaginatively across the
back of the shirt.

I am sure the symbol means something
different to most of the undergrads with the shirts than to myself
or other deadheads. The possibility that a majority of the greeks
here dig the dead is miniscule. Also, I would doubt they identify
with "dancing bare" or dancing under the influence of something
The Bear may have cooked up.

The music scene here is savagely hampered
by a lack of support. A musician of a once-local band that was
interviewd for an article in the local paper said it was difficult
to do original material for local gigs where the students want to
get drunk and listen to the same song over and over, or yell requests
for Free Bird during unfamiliar compositions. Another article summarized
a poll taken last week. Amoung the favorite restaurants are Taco
Bell, McDonald's, god-awful pizza, and the radio station at the
top of the poll belies a general musical preference that has no
relation to the concept of musical "taste".

Meanwhile, dead-related symbols are showing up more and more. 
I knew things were getting weird when dyes were showing up at Kmart
2 or 3 summers ago.  I venture to say that the use of symbols that
were once linked to some concept has little to do with original
concept after a critical popular momentum is gained. When a symbol becomes
a common fashion accessory vs. a secret knowing wink then its meaning
obviously is diluted. Ask Sally Sorority the meaning of the bears
on her standard-issue shirt, and you're likely to get a, "uh, I
dunno... they're cuuuuuuuute." well of course they are, my dear.

but Hey Now... with more of the symbols being mindlessly appended
to the popular fashion statements, all sorts of interesting scenarios
are possible. Imagine the shock for the poor sheep when they are
singled out and pulled over and searched by cops because they are
sporting the symbols...

I recently "discovered" through another newsgroup about a mail-server
called "almanac", (almanac@oes.orst.edu) that you can send requests to and
get various stuff back.  You can mail a single line command, send quote,
and you will get a randomly generated quote returned to you within
seconds.

Well, I tried this, and the random quote was none other than the
following:

# Regarding your request:
   send quote

"Ain't no time to hate--barely time to wait.  Wo ho what I want to know:
 where does the time go?"

Is it really random?  Or is there really some strange hidden connection
that told the mail server to send a Deadhead a Dead quote?  Do these things
happen to you too?

I am actually quite offended by the tendencies of dead-heads to bash greeks. 
You have developped an overwhelmingly wrong stereotype about the people inside
these institutions.  I happen to know several dead-heads in the fraternitys
that DO happen to dance at shows.  And the DONT drink.  As a matter of fact
becuase these friends of mine wouldnt hate you for stereotyping them, i would
surmise that in the end they are the better men.  
	I am rapidly becoming offended by the hate and the stereotyping on the
net.  Granted i do not believe that dead-facts should be used for hazing, but
you have taken what is possibly a confused man, and used him as a battering ram
to attack an entire institution.  

btw...you'll be seeing a few of these friends on Halloween.  Hope you dont hate
them just becuase of the way they look.

On KPFA tonight, David Gans is playing lots of live Dead until 6:30 am.  Among
the things he played was a "Dark Hollow" from the 2/19/71 Portchester show.
He indicated that Dan Healy had given him the tape, which was a mix for a
potential Vault release.  The implication was that a decision had not been

No, the number for on-line transactions isn't an 800 number.  I think they did

not that it belongs on this group, BUT: WHY should it be pointed out that
the indians were not exactly peacefully co-existing before the Europeans
come? The Europeans were hardly peacefully co-existing with each other
at that time themselves. Should a band of marauding aztecs have sailed to
the european continent to bring peace, Queztlocoatl, and unity to Europe?

and yes, the NA's were 'immigrants' in that, as far as we know, the human
species did not arise on the american continents. however, the date of
their immigration was LOOOOOONG before columbus--possibly 5000 years or
more.

Eric is absolutely correct, there is nothing anti-enviormental about
Libertarian Platform, if fact there's is the most senseable, here are
two short points from the '92 Platform:

1. Clearly establish the legal right of individuals or groups to claim
that harmful pollution of their body, property, air or water is a
trespass, allowing them to sucessfully sue individuals, companies, or
governments for damages.

2. End all regulatory attempts to define "acceptable levels of
pollution". Setting such standards has the effect of legally
sanctioning that amount of pollution, even when it might be reduced
below that level. It also deprives citizens the right to successfully
claim damages from levels of pollution which are lower than government
standards.

When polluters exceed government standards, the penalties thay pay
typically go to the government, not to the people who were harmed.
Why should the government be paid for poisoning private citizens? Why
shouldn't polluters compensate their victims?

VOTE for Liberty, give the country back to the people, not faceless
bureaucrats.

I had the opportunity to see the DeadRingers in Houston
last April. My band Parks & Wildlife opened the show for them
and I , Bill Parks, got the chance to sit in with them on
Women are Smarter, Fire on the Mountain, and Round and Round.
These guys are all excellent and real laid back cats.
We loved them so much that we set up another show for them
here at a club called Fitzgerald's on November 19,1992.
Tickets are $12 in advance and ! $15 at the door.
The first opening act is a band called Medicine Show from
Tulsa and the second is Parks & Wildlife. For ticket info
call (713)973-0177. We are looking forward to a really
HOT show, so if any of you Texas or nearby heads read this
DON'T MISS THE SHOW.
P.S. I closed my eyes during space / Dark Star and I
could have sworn that I was at a Dead show.

  This was a paricularly smooth segue led by Bobby that had Hornsby on
the edge of his donut cushion clearly contrasted by the Touch>Fire portion
of 7/13/84 which could kindly be called, "turbulent".  Some thought this
Hot August suprise was telegraghed the previous June at Pine Knob.  The
"Fake it til ya make it" segue of recent memory has to be the Crazy Fingers>
Rider portion of the Laguna Seca China>Crazy Fingers>Rider when the Vulcan
and Billy whopped out eigth notes for what seemed an eternity until they
realized they were now playing quarter notes as the rest of the band had
been playing rider for two measures except the Jermiester who was on his
third.
  The 8/16/91 Scarlet>Victim segue was short, sweet, and to the point.
The Wonderful Wizard of Weird pulled the first four notes of Victim out 
of the air, the rest of the band answered with the next five, and we were
tangentially blissed!  Hard to top a first set Dark Star ya know! (which
prompted a review flame- "Oh hum! Another Dark Star." as memory serves me
precisely)  The Victim>Fire segue was essentially a no brainer as the 
Vulcan's Fire was pulled out of a short feedback jam- just another day
at work.
  The raw dB's at the Dump really can't compare to the maximum density
overdrive of Kansas City humidity in mid summer.  Healy dials her in and
literaly pounds one's body for the duration.  Earl says there's no place
the Dead can push air like KC and I'm inclined to agree with him.  There's
a more direct connection between one's midsection and the speakers of the
PA columns due to the density of the air.  It helps when you're doing the
second set right behind Maestro Dan in the sweet spot and Jerry smiled
at you again in the first set- (tends to put a throb in your general
principle woody don't you know).
  Basically it's subjective and influenced by many variables of personal
experience.  For instance, given the variable of physical contact with
female breasts, almost all brothers, and a few sisters, will remember that
as their favorite Stella Blue in retrospect comparison with non-tactily
enhanced Stella's- unless the Jermiester heiniously blows a note like he
did at the Creek last June...

This group symbolizes a basic concept of FREEDOM, all is welcome, if
