Will This Be on the Test?
"Like the town madame who slowly becomes respectable," or something like that was how Jerry once describe the odd slide of the Dead phenomenon into mainstream (and eventually academic) culture. Enroll in
an online course at "Barnes & Noble" University" on Jerry Garcia and the Dead to brush off your comparative freakism degree.

Aaaargh, Me Mateys! It's the Good Ship 'Intellectual Property Rights'
Wired News runs an article on how the Dead
go after digital piracy on the Web.

Furthur, but Globe Damns with Faint Praise

Did you miss Shoreline Furthur? Jury still out on whether Alphonso for Phil was a good trade? Check out a

They All As't for You...
Almost hope I don't have to explain the relevance, but simultaneous email from two of my more plugged-in psychoswampedelic music sources crossed in my box just now announcing the historic reunion of the original METERS (!), quoting now:
>It's official - the ORIGINAL METERS ARE CONFIRMED for November 11 at the
>Warfield in San Francisco. For those of you who do not appreciate the
>epic,
>historic, and musical highlight of (at least) the decade potential of this
>event, I'm sorry, but if I can say "trust me" and you will listen, you
>won't
>be disappointed
.

>Tix are totally reasonable - $75 on the floor, $65 in the balcony. Opening
>band is tentatively the Wild Mags (how perfect!), contingent on ticket
>sales
>for a Friday night (11/10) Wild Mags show (venue TBD), which would pay for
>the Mags to perform on Saturday, as the Meters gig is understandably
>costing
>a small fortune, and they can't afford an opening band otherwise. Stay
>tuned for details on that.

and direct from the horses mouth for t'other:
That's right folks it is nearly official, the ORIGINAL
METERS -
Art Neville
George Porter, Jr.
Joesph "Zigaboo" Modeliste
Leo Nocentelli
will be performing for the first time in a LONG LONG
time this coming November 11 at the legendary Warfield
Theatre on 6th and Market in San Francisco, CA.
Tickets are $70 (not sure if there is a tiered ticket
price for balcony vs floor).
This information comes from a source close to the band
and is *NOT* from SFX/BGP whom I assume will be the
promoters of the gig. SOOOO look for completely
official info from them concerning ticket prices, who
you need to blow to get backstage, etc ....
I will see you there!
