1. are they as boring now, sober, as they were, stoned? nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. The younger generation just loves them

This is a very smart idea to get young voters' attention.

[neutron]

5. Hillary is more information - less hype

YOu'll learn a lot watching her.

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. I am watching her

But the kids are going to love that Dead show. Really. Very smart idea on Obama's part.

[neutron]

9. He's doing this to keep his supporters from watching Hillary

Because he would lose them if they were watching this.
She is informative and fantastic.

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. Well here in our area,

Hillary went off the air 30 minutes before the Dead concert started. :)

[rhett o rick]

68. Comment brought to you by "Right Wing for Clinton". nm

[niceypoo]

69. The younger generation loves burnt out acid heads?

Well, isn't that special!!

[postulater]

26. I hope so.

[kas125]

63. Yeah, me too

the most UN-BORING music I've ever heard. The soundtrack of my life, in fact. Sheesh, some people really are clueless.

[stilldead]

43. A-No-Brainer!

Boring? Sure, like Classical music is boring to those that don't appreciate fine music. I guess you prefer 3-minute pop songs that can keep your attention long enough. I wonder if you read books. Apparently you're on the wrong website. You should have been on Republicanunderground. I do hope Hillary walks all over the lizard-man named Obama. By the way, his wife looks like Condoleeza Rice!

[bunnies]

46. I call bullshit.

Im a classical pianist but Ill be first to admit that one should never underestimate the power of the dead. If you're that hateful in your first post... you dont belong here.

[newmajority]

70. Speaking of someone being on the wrong website

Michelle Obama looks nothing like Kindasleazy Lies. And you sound like a Deadhead about as much as Screeching Harpie Coulter does.

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. My kids will go nuts

The love The Dead.

[Coexist]

8. and this is historic - first time together after they said Never Again!

see - Obama is already promoting unity.

[Cha]

12. Really, I didn't know that..I never

got into the DeadHeads but they'll always have a special place in my heart NOW! :loveya:

[Coexist]

14. and its a one time only deal

According to a statement on The Grateful Dead's website, the band have "agreed to reunite for this one-time-only event in order to lend support to Senator Obama leading into the crucial 'Super- Tuesday' series of primaries held on Tuesday, February 5th."

[Cha]

17. Wow! I'm in freakin'

awe!

[thevoiceofreason]

4. Amen

I can get behind this endorsement!

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Okay I was right

My kids are now on the phone calling all their friends and even planning a get together to watch this.

[ClassWarrior]

10. Thanks! This is a rock event!

NGU.

[zulchzulu]

11. Can't wait!

I'll have MP3s available when it's done hopefully.

[Coexist]

13. yeah!

[bleever]

15. Expect at least one special guest.

;)

[Botany]

16. Is this the one?

Mama is for Obama
Now the Dead will play some song-a
A one hit from a bong-a?
Only if you wanna
Or do you just want to ride your llama?






Mississippi Halfstep

Music by: Jerry Garcia & Words by: Robert Hunter

On the day when I was born Daddy sat down and cried.
I had the mark just as plain as day; which could not be denied.
They say that Cain caught Abel rollin' loaded dice;
Ace of Spades behind his ear and him not thinkin' twice.

Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, good-bye
Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies
I'm on my way, on my way.

If all you got to live for is what you left behind,
Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine.
Lost my boots in transit, baby, pile of smokin' leather.
I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather.

Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, good-bye
Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies
I'm on my way, on my way.

They say that when your ship comes in, the first man takes the sails;
What's the point of callin' shots; this cue ain't straight in line.
Cue ball's made of Styrofoam and no one's got the time.

Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, good-bye
Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies
I'm on my way, on my way.
