This is from memory.  August's Washingtonian magazine has a story on
Senator (Congressman?) Frank(?) Kasten (check your deadicated insert to 
figure out who he is) who recently mailed out 537 (?) copies 
of Deadicated to all his associates in congress.

Although Kasten is on the hit list by many eco-groups, he has a good
relationship with the Rain Forest Action Network and other Global
eco-groups.


FWIW,

OK, here's my $.02 on the Keith/Donna issue:

1. Keith was invaluable in the band. Much as I liked Brent's style (and
I LOVE Hammond B-3's!) and Vince's stuff (been listening to him from
way back in the latter 70's, Tubes), Keith's piano playing really does
it to me. I play keyboards in the G-Men, so I listen to keyboard
players a little more closely than some others might, I don't know. I
just think his style helped propel the boys in new directions back in
'72-74. Then again, I really like the 5-8-77 show too.....

2. I think Donna was more of a nuisance than anything. Sure, there are
some songs she does justice on, but on the whole, I think she was
slightly lost in the Dead. IMHO, wrong as it may be. :^}

3. Do you think that the problem with soundboards from 73-74 might be
because of the Wall of Sound? Since the setups were radically different
 for this system, it may have affected the tapes too. Personally, I
have no problem with Keith being 'up' in the mix, but like I said, I am
a keyboard player, so...... I think it was Mark who mentioned about the
montor problems, guitars being amplified vs the piano, etc. We have had
that problem on certain G-Men tapes also. Since the guitars are
amplified, and drums carry a lot of weight even unamplified, a lot of
times all you'll hear on soundboards (of our band) is vocals and
keyboards. Since then, we've been modifying our recording setup, going
from straight audience DAT tapes to using an additional mixer to blend
the soundboard feed with the audience mikes, and have had some nice
results.

4. For anyone interested, we do have a number of G-Men shows on tape
that I would be more than happy to dub for any interested party. We
have sent tapes all over the country, and have had pleasant feedback on
them. Most of these tapes are original tunes only, and only 1 tape has
our only Dead cover - "Fire On The Mountain" to wrap up our reggae set
on 5-16-92. I've tried to get the others into doing "Scarlet->Fire",
but they only want to do originals now, so........

5. Email me - DBUDZAK@IVY. Thanks!

Calls to mind the revival of _The_Same_Thing_ during this past New Year's
run.  There's a wonderful segment on one of David's shows where Bobby
talks about how the song evolved spontaneously of its own accord, until
eventually the band became aware of the shape it had taken.  I recall being
there while this was going on, and having a feeling something out of the
ordinary was transpiring, without being exactly aware what it was, and
having the distinct sensation that the band didn't know either.  Weird.

Mr. Marcus also informs us to watch for the new computerized Mail Order

The message is dated July 21.

Now you know, and are free to speculate on what it all means.

I'll start the speculation:  If they're upgrading the Hotline at some

actaully, i've been thinking of investing, but since i don't have a lot of
money to invest, i decided that buying mutual funds would be a safer way to
diversify than just picking a single stock; the one portfolio that i looked
at invested in a lot of companies that i'd rather not be associated with, like
General Electric (MAJOR defense contractor), a whole host of oil and chemical
companies, McDonalds (who in my opinion is the prime example of the attitude of
the throw away society; why wash dishes when you can just throw them out?; i
try to avoid "fast food" as much as possible), etc.  Anyway, while this was
only a single portfolio, my guess is that most mutual funds choose their stocks
based on profit, and nothing else.  But since I won't even fill up my car at
Exxon, I certainly don't want to own a piece of the company (where my money
will be used to lobby in the name of interests that i do not support).  Does anybody know of any mutual funds that apecifically invest in companies that are
environmentally and socially conscious?  Please reply by e-mail as well as in
here, since I don't get a chance to check the net very often.
