I know you all want to see my greatest hits since I am so consistent. especially with the respect I show the band and Rob.
THIS IS DISGRACEFUL!!!! I went to this show (AC HOB) because a couple of my old tour buddies told me I would enjoy it. I was disgusted. I was disgusted by the scene, I was disgusted by the way these dudes pretended to be the band and I was disgusted by the fact that they were not even very good.
Grateful Dead concert so all of you and the DSO should get your heads out of your asses. There are a lot of good bands out there and great music being made by them all of the time. Go and find some and enjoy them. These dudes are sucking you suckers dry with there ridiculous novelty items etc. I was shocked to see so many old heads there dancing. It really disgusted me. I left after the first set and never looked back.
“Bro I'm as far from a poser as you can get.”
“Can't you see what a waste of time a DSO show is when there is so much more original stuff out there that is so much better? I'm not trying to be a dick. I really want people to realize how wrong this is. The guy that replied before was right...Jerry would laugh.”
“Not sure what he was wearing, but I think it was an Izod and it matched his Persian carpet. You're right though I would imagine that outfit would constitute a good cowboy set and definitely some high pitched screams, shrieks and squeals from the Bobby wannabe.”
“That is so sad, that's chump-change Disney type stuff.”
“I danced, I danced me ass off and still do when I go to clubs and stuff, but these kids are lost. Many of us like to remember those shows for what they were and not trying to keep it alive by a bunch of mediocre musicians that are to lazy to make a buck doing their own stuff. And they are sucking you dry. Did you ever think that maybe they tell people that they are not making a lot of money so you'll spend more? These guys are charlitans (sp?)”
“These Bozos are a business and they are sucking you dry. If you want a respite from this world that truly is filled with stress and pain I suggest you begin practicing the Dharma, because using this as a relief is a joke. “
“I'm not angry but you are most definitely a fool. I will not tell you how many shows I've seen, because it doesn't really matter and it never has. Never liked that crap. If you need to tell people how many shows you've been to it's generally because you question how much of a deadhead you really are. Did you go to all of those shows so you could count them up and tell people? Or did you go because of the music and the scene? Because if your reasons were the latter then you should be as disgusted as I am.”
“Yes I'm an ass. I'm an ass for not enjoying wathcing people pretend to be other people. For trying to recreate something that can never be recreated. For Destroying something that meant so much to so many. It sickens me and many others, whether they wrote in hear or not. You all keep living your fucking lies, I am done with this. I suggest instead of being the fucking assholes that society has unfortunately caused you to be that you read what I've had to say in these oh so many postings, just one last time. Because no matter whether you can admit it here or not, you knwo I'm right. You defend this only out of ego and your defenses show it. Long live the real Grateful Dead and God bless each and everyone of them, because until they are tuly and physically dead, they will never be able to escape parasites like the DSO and you. “
“Progress would be taking the music and playing it with one's own interpretation, not imitation. Fool.”
“I'm sure you are working on the T-Shirt already you fucking wannabe' parasite.”
“Shake all the bones you want with sorry-ass, washed-out drunk Donna, whose reliving the past and trying to make a buck off of it. Ask her why there are actual programs out there created by real Heads that can take the Donn parts completely out of entire shows. How hard is it to play the perfect show whe you are playing someone elses show that you can listen to 100 times and make sure you get it right? Wake the fuck up man. You guys are so lost.”
“I could tell you my friends name, already gave you his nickname and exactly where they drink, but then you and all your patchouly stink friends would start showing up there asking Bobby what he thinks of DSO as if he actually gave a shit or you'd just stand around gawking. Bobby is a cool guy a really cool guy, way cooler than Jerry ever was. He's a prankster and real. I don't have to prove myself and I didn't bring it up before, because you would never believe me as you don't now. Why? Because you think Bobby and the rest reside in Nirvana and only descend down to play a show. Just pick up your china doll elsha...it's only fractured, just a little nervous from the fall.”
“But you'll believe what you want...Some folks look for answers(me), others look for fights(you), some folks up in tree tops just looking for their kites(DSO Fans), but I can tell your future, just look what's in your hand, I can't stop nothin' I'm just playing in the band(Bobby).”
“What I put down came straight from my bro who hangs with him and it was not about Jerry-John or whatever his name is. It's all about the dough bro. The more people that get into the DSO the more get into the Grateful Dead, the more everyone in the Grateful Dead family benefits.”
“My point is that they are making a living off of someone elses life and the fact that there are people out there that will pay to see it. If Frank Zappa and the Mother's had the same kind of following as the Dead and were as much as a phenomenon, I bet these dudes would be a Zappa & The Mother's cover band. Although even though I respect their muscianship, and I do, I doubt if they could ever do the carbon copy thing with Francessco and the Mammas. Take care.
”As far as their notoriety. It's called PR dude, ever hear of it? It's a real important part of any business, which is exactly what DSO are. When you did your P&L statement for the DSO did you remember to figure in how much they spend on that?”
“If (Bobby) thought they were so great he would ask them to be his back up band. Think about it.”
“You truly are a fucking idiot!”
“You need to improve on that second grade reading comprehension moron. Never claimed that. Fool.”
“Maybe I should call myself Cassidy or Uncle Johnor Sugaree or something like the rest of you posers do. I have an idea for those of you that were hurt by my comments...Pick up your china doll...it's only fractured, just a little nervous from the fall. But I guess you, Dr. Barry and a lot of others probably have not gotten to China Doll yet, you're still on Victim or The Crime and Picsasso Moon. Later”
“You joker's are so fucking lost you deserve to remain in the dark. You think you're in the light? This cracks me up. Seriously craks me up.”
“You're a lost sailor, been way too long at sea. Wake the fuck up. You want to hear something these joker's could never recreate, listen to Hollywaod Paladium 8-6-71 the quintesential quintet. I'm so sick of this, you guys are fucking blind and it truly saddens me. You may think I'm a DICK or an elitist or whatever, but you are truly cluelesss. I siad from the first that I knew my comments would do no good, but I said them because I let my balls hang to my ankles at all times, just like the Boys did every time they took the stage. I am truly out this time, you can have as much fun as you want at my expekse and keep slamming on me with one another, but I won't be a part of it any more. You sling labels at me not even knowing that you are just as guilty as I am. So pick up your China Dolls and keep living your lies. There are plenty of us out here that will never buy into this crap and who will be forever sorry and regretful that you did. Because you are truly missing the point of it all.”
“Dare to be different dare to be original. Put it all out there everyday in your very own way and when the curtain falls you've achieved more than most. Someone should send that directly to DSO.”
“As for you old heads, my comrades that act like you're at a show, come on y'all, wake up. I could go on forever here. But the bottom line is these guys should be locked up or playing in a basement somewhere. I stopped going to shows in '90 because people like you fucking ruined it for me. You destroyed something beautiful so you could say you were on the bus and now you're and these bozos are destroying the legacy that Jerry and the boys left beind. I walked up to this one kid who had himself looking like a real deadhead, during the opening licks of Mexicali, him and his boys were shaking their bones hard, which is cool, Dancing is a beautiful thing, BUT just to see I asked him, "What tune is this man?" He had no idea and neither did any of his buddies. NOW COME THE FUCK ON!!!! IF YOU CAN'T TELL A MEXICALI WITHIN THE FIRST THREE NOTES, YOU ARE NOT A DEADHEAD. This is what I'm talking about, these are the people that killed it for me and so many others. They were the downfall of the band. I thought the In The Dark Heads were bad, but you guys make them look like the Pranksters. DSO is a fucking rip off, plain and simple and this whole, touring, selling gear shit is a bigger rip off.”
‘Why would you want to hear someone else play their music. I think it would be cool if the band had at least the smallest amount of originalty and played their own tunes and smoked a few dead songs hear and there. But this is basically Grateful Dead-Mania and these dudes are all about the Benjamins.”
