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.

I liked the Dead twice as much as Looking Glass. The Dead had 2 songs
I liked. *;-)- Hide quoted text -

Well, Looking Glass was a far bit better than "Double" with their one
hit loser "The Captain of her heart"

The only song I actually liked by the greatful dead was "Friend of the
devil"

Not even. Looking Glass was a 1970's one-hit-wonder ("Brandy") band out of
New Jersey. Double was a 1980's one-hit-wonder ("The Captain of Her Heart")
band from Switzerland.

I liked the Dead. Not all songs were great, but they put on a good show. I
remember them playing for free out in the Panhandle of Golden Gate Park,
years before they were real famous. I worked not that far from the
Haight-Ashbury area and went to school out near GG park.
