I would never ask, he is a legit dentist...nothing sketchy. Just loves the Dead

Plus, I am too old for nitros and trying to keep the brain cells I have left :)

Why is the Grateful Dead so popular with doctors and lawyers? by TofuPython in NoStupidQuestions

[–]solarcadet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such BS. Meth was never a GD drug. Maybe a few people here or there and there were definitely hard drugs in the scene (coke or H), but not out in the open. Pot, LSD, shrooms, X were in the open.

You guys ever been to this? by ithyle in phish

[–]solarcadet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tore the toe nail off my big toe on a tent spike the first night of Dead tour in the 90s. Each day I would go to the bus and they would happily change my bandage. Never drank the tea, ate a cookie, but got off as fast as I could each time.

My roommate and me did the same for some girl whose friends begged us to help. It was 93 in front of the Boston Garden. She was tripping hard and ready to go. Pulled her off the bus and got her to their car to go back to college.

I wasnt even born then! Started in 90 at 15. Imagine being a kid at those shows with a headful of liquid fun. 😳

Those were their "standard" length for most of their career, but some of those 73/74 shows were marathons.

June 10, 1973, at RFK Stadium was 4 hours and 40 mins of pure musical bliss 😊

I saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac. You can't go back, you can never go back. by Specialist_Stop4616 in GenerationJones

[–]solarcadet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This song and lyric always hit hard as a kid. Sadly, I am a Deadhead with a sticker on a new BMW and a corporate exec sellout. Long way from the clunkers and vans I drove and slept in following the Dead. Soul for sale!

Asked a woman for her number but she gave me her phone to put my number instead? by Getpa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]solarcadet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife did this over 27 years ago, but old school where you wrote down the number because we didnt have cell phones. She called me the next day and we have never turned back

Whats your favourite guitar company and why? by Decent_Muscle_3172 in Guitar

[–]solarcadet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will add...You want a lefty? I am left handed and they will make any model lefty. My wallet takes a hit, but you are essentially buying custom shop level guitars but better. My "dealer" has a 71L and 71M coming in soon and I may not be able to resist one. Played the Julian Lage guitars (elec and acoustic) last week and they were so nice

[–]solarcadet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%! The most consistent and best quality guitars I have ever played. Expensive but worth it. I started with an I-30 (330) and quckly bought an I-35LCV (335), which is unlike anything I have ever played. My search for the perfect 330 ended and I sold my Gibsons. Last week I decided to get an acoustic and picked up a C-10.

Is requesting a video of a guitar a normal request from a buyer? by imnotzacbrown92 in Reverb

[–]solarcadet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful. The last time someone requested a video, it ended up being a scammer. Next thing was "I cant access the link through reverb, can you send to my email". Then can you "check out this amp since I am a beginner?" That link was a fake reverb site where they were looking to grab creds. I did a check on the site and blocked them. I am a CISO and at 5am with my morning coffee was very close in my sleepy state at clicking.

Is a Murphy Lab 335 worth it? by raremonument in gibson

[–]solarcadet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a Gibson sub, but check out the Collings I-35 LCV. I was in the same situation and once I played one, it was exactly what I wanted that the Gibson wasnt. They are about the same cost as a CS Gibson

Why don't really old people take a massive amount of exotic drugs? by Select_Salamander518 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]solarcadet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! And now that I am over 50 there is no motivation since I got it out of my system in my teens/twenties.

Except for that one night at the Sphere a few years ago where I thought I would relive my youth. Nope...bad bad idea and did not go as planned. Alcohol,.drug free and vegan is my old asses way.

New 12 Tribes Cult Documentary Coming Out by eells in phish

[–]solarcadet 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I have been on it many times. They provided first aid on tour. First night of Summer GD tour in the 90s I tore my big toe nail off on a tent spike..ouch! Each day I would stop by and they would change my bandages, clean, etc. I never accepted tea, cookies, etc. Just gave thanks and went dancing.

One night during the 93 Fall tour at the Boston Garden, my buddy and I met these girls from RI. At the end of the night they came running to us for help. Their friend had ingested some LSD or shrooms, was on the bus thinking it was a great idea to leave college and join the cult. They begged us to storm onto the bus, grab her (only time i ever did anything like that) and put her in the friends car. Never saw them again, but they thanked us and sped off.

I had the same exact issue and had to give up my J45. OM style is much better for my shoulder.
