You're welcome any time...  Bring the dogs.

I hate The Forum here in LA, but they are also playing there on May 9. Much easier for me.

i was just looking through rolling stone's list of notable rock and roll deaths in 2008....i had NO idea that alton kelley died this past year....

Greensboro April 12th looks pretty good to me.

I would consider that!

they will force their opinions on others, as though what THEY believe were the only thing with value.

deadheads are, almost to a fault, kind and accepting.
to spew them (us) with opinionated vitriol is completely uncalled for.

if one does not like the subject matter of a thread, one should just stay the f#*k out of it.

normally, i am very mild mannered, and would not say shit if i had a mouth full of it...but this is really quite ENOUGH.

I'm not a fan of the Dead either. But is it really necessary to walk into a thread full of their fans and go on about how much you don't like them?

It's like walking into a church and starting in on the evils of religion. You're not converting anyone, and you're pissing off people who weren't harming you or yours.

 I don't have any one favorite band but if I did they would at least be  able to tune their instruments.

 Until you can do that on a consistant basis you aren't a rteal musician- you are just a trained performance monkey.

 The Dead were con men taking a free ride on the dreams of idealistic people.

If you can't say anything nice....oh, and who's your favorite band, so I can yammer on about how much they suck?

So like they aren't going to suck? They sucked when they were all alive.

 Worst band ever. Worse than the worst high school band in the(history of) world.
