Inspiration, move me brightly. light the song with sense and color.
Hold away despair, more than this i will not ask.
Faced with mysteries dark and vast, statements just seem vain at last.
Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to terrapin.

I saw that on CNN too…the Grateful Dead are one of my favorite bands ever. There’s a guy in Moscow I know who looks pretty much exactly like Jerry Garcia.

The Tubes were a riot. Anyone know if Curt Cobain is still dead?

Isn’t death a rather permanent thing?
Except in like buddhism, I guess…if Kurt Cobain was reincarnated.
