Paging Alex Jones, paging Alex Jones.......

Hehe. I guess the place is for real. I was really wondering about that.

"Occidental resident Mickey Hart will join fellow Grateful Dead member Bob Weir. The musicians, along with rocker Steve Miller,

Well AllRight !!!!

I've been so disapointed to read name after name of musicians I admired lined up on the left.

Then here's Bobby and Mickey and even Steve Miller all at the conservative gig ... wow !!!!

Weir and Hart were BIG Al Gore supporters in the last campaign, and as The Dead are on their summer tour, I don't see how they will be able to attend.

I despise the word eclectic.

Every time I hear it I think of the Three Stooges skit...

"Slowly I turned, step by step...."

Interesting thread, but I don't think it is actually true.

Their schedule puts them in Indiana tonight. And they are booked solid, in the east for the near future.

This paranoia by the left over the Boho Grove (and its cowboy version, Rancheros Visitadores)has been going on since about the early 70's when a book by one of the counter-culturalists was written about the secret conniving and scheming that took place there.

That paranoia is spread equally amongst the tinfoilers on both sides of the aisle.

They say former Grateful dead members although I doubt no one really ever leaves the band.

Fron the Grateful Dead Almanac, Summer 2004, Vol 11 No 3:

If every Dead Head in the state if Florida had voted in the 2000 election, the world would be a very different place today."
