I've seen some news reports about the Tea Party rally in Nevada, where
they want to get rid of Harry Reid.
The news people say hardly any there were locals, and they're following
Sarah Palin around.
You always see a lot of RV's and motor homes in the background.
Is Sarah Palin the new Jerry Garcia?
I don't know much about the deadhead crowd. *Seemed they were druggies.
Never cared for that kind of music, being a country fan.
The Tea Party folks look pretty clean cut, but out of shape.
Most are overweight or obese. *Look like typical retired folks, or desk
jockeys.
I'm guessing they use a lot of prescription drugs, mostly paid for by
Medicare. *Stuff for high blood pressure, diabetes, penis stiffening,
etc.
But they sure don't seem like deadheads. *I don't count when they're
talking. *Just appearances.
Anybody here a Tea Party member?
Anybody a former deadhead?
I'd like to hear some comparisons.
I'm interested in cultural phenomena, is why I ask.

I never was into the Greatful Dead

You might have benefited from the experience, regardless of whether
you liked the music.
