Trey Anastasio's band

Well, I did not go to any of Trey Anastasio’s summer tour.  I  saw him during his fall tour.  Needless to say I was not impressed.  I had a chance to catch him in Charlotte, NC this summer, but decided to catch Panic in Myrtle Beach, SC instead.  The songs that they played during the… Continue reading Trey Anastasio's band

Censorship is the Answer?

George Harrison – by Mike Macchi

I was born in 1965, the same year The Grateful Dead was born and the year that the songs that would land on the Beatles’ landmark album “Rubber Soul” were probably starting to gel in the minds of the newly turned-on Fab Four.  I grew up about as big of a Beatle fan as anyone… Continue reading George Harrison – by Mike Macchi

Insecticide (inspired by Kafka)

There is a place I remember as being the last place I remember. I’ll ask you kindly not to judge me too strongly as I recall the details of the onset of my present condition. There were situations there….Living creatures wore the skin of dead ones. I saw things moving in unnatural ways.  Things happening,… Continue reading Insecticide (inspired by Kafka)

A perspective from an oil & gas V.P. from Midland, Texas

I need to correct Grateful Web over their bias over the impact of oil and gas on the environment.  First of all… the production that bush wants to open up in Colorado is GAS.  Gas is very clean,  not only for burning, but also to drill and produce.  An average house in Boulder is far, far worse… Continue reading A perspective from an oil & gas V.P. from Midland, Texas

The Dead @ Red Rocks | 6/15/04

Navigating the undulating route of HWY 93 from Boulder, our trusty VW Bus, along with the countless others migrating from the north, was a spectator to a spectacular lightning display. There’s an ongoing jest between my friends and I about the contrast we experience when we leave our tranquil Boulder bubble, venturing into Jefferson County… Continue reading The Dead @ Red Rocks | 6/15/04
