  1. China Doll acoustic many times over during the 1980 15th Anniversary shows, Warfield/Radio City. I caught one of those at my second show and had the good fortune of knowing the song at the time. Caught one more in Spring of ‘87, Spectrum. Lyrics interpreted probably as widely as Terrapin. The back and forth makes it easy to hold it near, as it were your own, personalize it, help you work it out, shake it out, all over the  dance floor. We all love it, but for our own reason. It comes from the core of the Grateful Dead, I think.

  2. So, I’m sifting through all the articles about the Raiders news this week. Their team meeting before the Detroit game had the new coach talk about how when he was a player, his Giants beat undefeated New England to win the Super Bowl. McDaniels walked up to His replacement and said, “Don’t you talk about New England like that.” 
         Yea, I would have thrown him out of my place of business too. Kudos to Davis for realizing his mistake and ending the pain. It had me thinking about the scene from The Godfather where Michael had every one who had crossed him killed while he’s at the baptism. Somebody needs to make a utube video of the soundtrack from that scene played over top of video of Davis firing the guy who threw those lousy passes against Detroit, his boss, his boss, his boss, but not himself.

  3. Typical Grateful Dead fashion, just because they hauled all their equipment, etc. to the feet of the Sphinx, played under a full moon, lunar eclipse, doesn’t mean it will be a good show. Hey, they stunk up Woodstock. What turns out to be the best shows can be found in the strangest of places, if you look at it right.
