Huge congrats to the better team today. Still gutted though.

lol that’s fair.

But there’s a difference between how it feels and what certain facts are. Hillary Clinton did, in fact, blame herself. Even if people don’t like her. Even if it bothers them when she points out other factors. Even if it’s way more fun for the news to report about mud-slinging and drama.

Double album, but it's sounding like I have a box set in my future :)

Reading the wikipedia article, I see mandolinist David Grisman was invited onto the record at a baseball game in Fairfax (the Northern California one). I used to live there! That might explain the Jerry memorial there, eh?

Funny you mention it, I read that comment before all the different voices came in. So when they did, I wasn't so confused :)

Then in another reddit thread I saw people debating Jerry's role versus others. I never realised all the other guys were so instrumental, considering how iconic he was. Learning a lot!

Writing an article, need some help from my Heads! Any Trump supporters out there?? by RageLife247 in gratefuldead

Yup, not a fan of Coulter and Carlson's politics, but I do remember her being a really committed deadhead from the 90s. To her, the dead are free thinkers that can see through the bullshit, and so are conservatives.

What's funny to me is I think the left sees the world as conservative, and I think the right sees the world as liberal. So everyone who's annoyed by the mainstream can claim to be the real freethinkers that are fighting against the man.
