As a local businessman (Joe the Barber) in Wilmington, De., my father would meet with Joe Biden on occasion, to give him a pulse on the local community. This happened more so in the beginning of his career as a Senator. My sister knocked door to door for his first campaign. I have heard him speak about the importance of family to the point that his entire body was shaking when I was just a boy. What you see is what you get with Joe Biden. How he speaks today is his core. It always has been. While I honestly believe that he is more frail than strong, I hope that he can lead us out of this hell that we find ourselves in. Let the youth take us forward once we get to stable ground.

I worry about Biden, he doesn't look very healthy to me. Like Greg says, we need younger people running this country. McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer etc. all need to retire. They are too old and set in their ways and refuse to work together for the common good. We need leaders in their 40's and 50's, old enough to have some life experience and young enough to be willing to change and adapt

I think the people elected Harris and AOC. Get ready for some big changes.  Biden isn't the one in charge of what's about to happen. They're already floating more media control. Corporations are going to be running the presidency not Trader Joe's family. Any one disagreeing will be dealt with. It's a shame that there's no more DSO to randomly ramble about.

Corporations run all presidencies. Anyone disagreeing will be dealt with? You mean like attacking anyone who disagrees with him including calling half the generals and his own staff losers? You do know that progressives were mad that Harris was the VP pick as she’s a moderate. They wanted a more liberal vp. Actual facts no longer exist. It’s all propaganda now. If Fox News calls someone a liberal they must be.... or even worse, a socialist. Anyone who’s not on the far right is a socialist. Our needle has moved so far to the right. I’ve always been a fact first moderate. I ignore the fringes. When people even mention AOC they are buying into some sort of propaganda as she’s not in leadership position. She’s a lightning rod for people who like to stereotype a whole party based on 1 person. It’s like saying all republicans are white supeemacists because of Steve king and Donald Trump. That’s not the truth.

My mother passed away yesterday afternoon. Of all of the many thoughts as I mourn her passing, I keep coming back to one happy thought that I think we all could relate to. I’m trying to envision the perfect song list for the funeral of a mother. 
                                 Franklin’s Tower

                                 Mama tried

                                 Big Railroad Blues

                                 Brokedown Palace     
  That’s all I got so far. Feel free to jump in and add to the list.

My sister and mom mostly chose the play list but we did Dylan’s forever young at my dads funeral. You could have Jerry performing it. 
 

May god bless and keep you always...

 

thought 12 years later still makes me cry.

I’ve been listening to days between a lot during my moms fight with brain cancer.

Right on Greg! I know many people who are close to Joe as well....I Live approx. 20 minutes from where he lives when not in DC.

Good system with which to whittle away the time during the days of shelter at home. I hope my wife doesn't ask what happened to her white towels. 😀

Serious! I can imagine what a crispy 79' Loser would sound like,  coming through all of that!

You would need a wind farm to power the 16 mono block amps needed for that setup. And definitely don’t use any Maxell tapes for safety reasons. (On a funny note as I typed Maxell it was underlined signifying a misspelling or unknown word 😂)

showing my era with this post-----still 20 years to late for where I should of been.   Would rather be 66 than 46 right now if I could of spent the time 20 years prior.  I love this song I just posted.   How could Men with out hats and a midget make me smile?   How did this song hit me before I even learned of GD? How does this mix in with Maslow's hierarchy?   Well....how do you feel dancing to the Dead?   GD, DSO, Further....when your dancing to the music, this music, how do you feel?  I have, at times, felt my scariest thoughts and confronted them dancing to a China Doll, Attics, Sing me back home, So many roads..etc...... Such thoughts and internal confrontations in front of 10s of thousands down to only 6---the six was DSO sound checking in Jamaica when everyone else was eating.   I was dancing in the sand, alone, but not lonely.   Sure we share energy, but to dance alone in front of DSO was a rariety......I did not need to share and it felt good to be selfish.   To have that stage all to my own.   Chills up my spine as my hands type.  The Music has always been my safety dance.   Ironic it took discovering the magic of this music to understand safety dance.   Life is so regimented.  Society constrains-----our rituals constrain further----oddly many of us still  jump right in and still believe in many outdated social rituals------I was embarrassed during my wedding---standing in front of people I have known my whole life, family, and another persons family that I allowed into my world.   I can not remember a time I was ever embarrassed in front of Dead Heads.   I have been other emotions, but embarrassed, I can not remember. We can dance, we can dance -----  We can dance like we come from out of this world and leave the real one far behind.   Well, every time I dance at shows, I leave the real one far behind.   From day 1, I felt safe doing so.  There is not 1 of these needs that was not fulfilled at any show I have ever been over the past 32-33 years. If anything, this pyramid has been filled completely only at shows.   Days Between----when phantom ships with phantom sails  set to sea on phantom tides.   Days Between.   Life is a dance, an exchange of who we are presented to those who see.......I rarely dance to the days between, the days between has never completed the pyramid.  No wonder why we give up so much to feel that fullness!!!   The safety dance-----a dance I have only felt at shows.

Thoughts with you for your loss brother.   Memories will heal the loss, but it will never be forgotten.  Mothers are true blessings despite ourselves.  Love between Mother and Son is probably the strongest in all of the universe.  Take time between the sorrow and grief to celebrate the life and her impact on yours!!

Known to some elders who have studied the hierarchy: Maslow had collective consciousness above self actualization. Once we become what we can become we can tap into that of all. I'm reeling in sorrow for the loss of your mother and am still stricken by the loss my own who passed on July 17 this year. A Grief Odserved by CS Lewis is a good read at times like this. It's a small 68 page book.  Thanks for letting it be known about the love between a mother and a son.

I just took the time to listen to the ‘sing me back home’ clip and revel in the beautiful memories. It brought me to tears, just as it did when DSO did it as a filler, Not long after she had her stroke, in Dewey about three and a half years ago. I was front and center, awash in the beauty of that song and the delivery by the band. No one did more for me than my mother. I did have the benefit of being the youngest child of an Irish woman. She would drive me from North Wilmington to the foot of the Delaware Memorial Bridge, watch me climb through a hole in the chain link fence, cross the off ramp, on my way to skateboard the drainage ditches around the highway there. She would come back a few hours later to pick me up. That would get you handcuffs these days. Later that same day, dinner was on time and delicious. Sorry about your loss, AC. I believe that a long life, well lived is worthy of a celebration, even though the sudden finality can be overwhelming for us who are left here.

When listening to this 1/24/73 Boarding house San Fran jerry and merl Show and hear an all female singer like a road and grab deadbase and wonder if this is a 1st time played anc see deadbase doesn’t even have it listed, I’m disappointed in the editors. Maybe John A should do deadbase Marin county. Or deadbase 6.1.163

Sarah Fulcher! Poor woman got hung out to dry.  Jerry and Merl never rehearsed with her and just told her to improvise and do her thing.  She made it work!

 

She brought Like A Road to Garcia. Big points right there. Jerry got under the hood of that one.
