Well, then maybe the lyric "Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again" from Ripple would be more appropriate. I remember listening to the crowd sing along with it as an encore from a hill overlooking the stage at the Suwannee Music Park in Florida when the Other Ones played there. I also enjoy the few shows that I went to while Jerry was still around. A wierd scene, but I always felt accepted, even though I knew no one there.
Anyway, my main point was to describe the 60's as a time when altruism and giving and sharing were often discussed as an alternative to the main stream American materialist culture. I am not saying that this was an ideal that only 60's hippies had, but I want to dispell the notion that many have (including some here) that the 60's were just a time to get high, listen to rock music and make out.
sorry, box of rain was written by Phil Lesh on the passing of his father.
Well, to be absolutely correct, the lyrics to Box of Rain were written by Robert Hunter on the passing of Phil's father, although Phil did write the music. I said "their song" meaning a song the band played, not one that Jerry wrote.
Anyway, I think the line I quoted ("What can I do for you to see you through.") can be generalized to encompass the concept of a culture of sharing which many in the 60's talked about, even if it wasn't always practiced.
If that sharing extends over to file sharing, well... I don't know who put it there, download it if you need it, or browse on if you dare.
Jerry and the rest of the band were part of the idealized Haight Asbury community. Although it later collapsed into hard drugs and violence the community was visualized as one where everything was shared in common. This is expressed in their song Box of Rain, "What can I do for you to see you through..."
The Grateful Dead like most of the others of the 60's counter culture eventually became part of the main stream, signed a record deal (for which they were chastised at the time by many Haight-Asburians as sell outs) and went to work, making money from touring, record sales and merchandise sales. The taping of the shows was a carryover from the ideal days of the late 60's. "Hey we are just here making music, if you want to sit in front with a tape recorder that's cool with us."
The tape network grew over the year as tapers traded recordings of shows. However, this was a network which required a "buy in" of having some tapes that you made your self or that you scored from a friend.
The internet and digital media changed all that. It was now easy for someone to put their recordings on a web site where any one could download them. There was no re-precocity involved. This has led to many who have never attend a show to build up a sizable collection of recordings. (Including, admittedly, Bodhicat himself)
I don't really have any conclusion to this. Should the 60's ideals be carried over into the internet? Should the "surviving members" be willing to give up profits from CD sales to preserve these ideas? Who owns music? "Its just sounds in the air, man." In the sixties there was an idea that everything should be free, can these ideals be carried over into the digital age?
Yes, I do think that all this fundamentalism in the evolution debate, government and the mass media will ultimately lead to a more open minded view of religious questions. The fundamentalists in the U.S. are only showing their own hypocrisy by supporting a president who has started an unnecessary war that has killed thousands, has reduced funding for the sick and the poor and has left hundreds to suffer after a major disaster while praising his incompetent political appointee.
I am thinking about making a new bumper sticker or sig: What would Jesus do? Feed the poor, offer free medical care, advocate peace.
After that incident, I only commented in Latin and Klingon for that employer.
I took over my current job at a Southern University from a former part-time programmer who was working on a Ph.D. in Buddhist Philosopy. These are some of the actual comments that he used:
$catarray[$m][$j][6]=0; # Don't know mind = 0
if(not $catansarray[$m][$t]) #check to see if entry exist conventionaly
if($quaarray[$i][$j]) #check to see if the ultimate question has been aswered
You should use Java instead (or another easily readable and understandable programming language).
Na, use Perl and never use comments. "A True Klingon never comments his code."
What could be more readable than:
if($mainarray[$i][$n] =~/[A-Za-z ]+, / && $mainarray[$i][$n] =~/^[^\d]/
&& $mainarray[$i][$n] =~/\d\d\d\d\s*$/){
@cstzip_array = split(/,\s+/,$mainarray[$i][$n]);}
For those of you who don't rent movies with subtitles: The Zatoichi movie series is about a blind swordsman who lived in Medieval Japan. Sort of Kurosawa light. I think the original post is trying to say that even though the probe was blind, sort of, it still managed to land. For those who don't know who Kurosawa is... oh nevermind, go download a reality program about people eating lizards on a desert island.
How about buying a Mac and thowing out your, "auto-run, go to a web page and download a virus, one click.exe e-mail attachement" PC. The Windows operating system is passe. Soon Windows will be another fogotten brand name like Edsel or Dr. Winston's Patent Medicine.
Paul McCartney wrote and sang "Let It Be," not John. Get your Beatle facts straight. Because of their songwriting agreement it was credited to Lennon-McCartney, but it is definitely a Paul song. John did write "Happiness is a Warm Gun." Sort of ironic.
No Elric? Dark fantasy hero who winds up killing and destroying everyone and anything he loves in the pursuit of knowledge. What could be more geeky than that? Can't wait for the movie, if it ever gets filmed.
I am currently driving an '84 Hundai that I bought from my sister for $500 cash four years ago. It cost me about $15 a week in gas. For a total cost of about $60 a month. A lot cheaper than buying a new hybrid and it saves the resources that would be used to build a new car. I'm being a cheapo and helping the environment at the same time. OK, I don't get that many dates, 'cept for hairy legged Green Party German exchange students, but for someone on Slashdot that's not doing too bad.
I don't have cable at my apartment and get only PBS over the air. I only have time to watch a few hours an evening and PBS usually has something interesting on. If I am busy, then I tape show from PBS and watch them later. Once in a while I rent a DVD or video tape from the public library. The rest of my free time is spent reading or with friends. Why would I pay $.99 to download something that has no interest for me in the first place. Why would I want to spend money to watch some idiots voluntarily stuck on a desert island eating a lizard?
My neighbors are trying to form a rock alternative punk band and feel they have the right to practice at all hours of the night. I retaliated with Die Fünfte at 200 watts per channel at full volume. A dose of Ol'Ludwig did the trick. Now that's a sonic weapon.

In fact I am opening PhotoShop as I type.
How naive, to assume it stops after only 3 dimensions...
The wierd thing is that its 42 into the next dimension ... but, DON'T PANIC.

How the heck did you write this and submit it for first post? I write two lines and I'm like 18th, even if there are no replys when I respond.

Its Microsoft. It Sucks.
Mod me up.
Great idea for a start-up. Sol-lectric commuter cars. Investors, send checks to Bodhi Cat at ...
