Tunesday – Grateful Dead “China Cat Sunflower; I Know You Rider”
A sample of some obscure – and some maybe not obscure – tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.
Today’s selection: Grateful Dead “China Cat Sunflower I Know You Rider” 1982
Live at the Oregon Country Fair: “Springfield Creamery Presents The Second Decadenal Field Trip” in Veneta, just west of Eugene.
I liked Eugene back in those days. Crazy was fun then, not dangerous. Times change.
The concert took place on August 28 – I overlooked this fact when I went to post this.
I was at this concert. Drove up from Reno with my girlfriend of the time in a beater 1964 Chevy pickup.. Sat with friends in the booth next to Ken Kesey’s. Wish I remembered more of the concert; there was no option for leaving off the “special sauce” at the food booths. Trouble is, those funny cigarettes have been known to cause this effect often known as “the munchies”.
Brownies are good. The special sauce wasn’t bad either.
Truck blew a rod on the way home; of course I was taking the road less travelled. Contacted our friends in Eugene and spent a few days with them while the truck was being repaired.
An adventure is something you don’t want to be doing while you’re doing it.
But a memorable time overall. Good and bad at the same time; one of the straws that broke apart my first not-marriage … but that’s a different tale for a different time.
In the years 1973 through ’86 I owned three VW Squarebacks. The theory was driving down the road in a VW the air would cool your engine. Maybe in Germany but not in the Southwest. I liked these cars because I could climb in the back and sleep. However, I was forever scoping the shoulder of the road and wondering if this might be a good place to fix the VW. At my 10 year high school reunion classmates told me of their careers and wives and children and I told them I drive and repair VWs. I saw the Grateful Dead maybe 5 or 6 times all together. They sure as hell put on a good live show. And I recall having to stay with friends for weeks after a concert to engage in engine repair.

I’ve watched a lot of videos since September 10th and have listened to various diagnoses. One observation from the dudes who say it’s CGI is how the blood splatters down… and then back up. That’s plain to see here. That video from the right side where he’s plowed over to the left sure looks like a shot from the right, not 200 yards away where little Tyler was perched. I’m just about clueless at this point. i’m still far more disgusted by what happened to lovely Iryna Zaruska in Charlotte. I know exactly what happened to her and who did it.
Well Tom, I am highly skeptical of just about everything. We’re given just enough info to wonder and alarm but not enough to make any conclusive conclusions. For every fact there is an unfact, everything cancels everything else. Going all the way back to JFK and beyond. We’re all being played big time from every direction.
Exactly. Because “they” make it none of our business to hear the truth, I will continue not voting, listening, believing, nor participating in any way at all. To do so might be construed as if I trust the bastards, however, all I trust is my own instinct to survive and believe in myself.
I hope this link works. This is the latest observation of “the Good Citizen”, and American ex-pat who’s been bouncing around the planet many years. This stellar Charlie event in Phoenix was peculiar, what little I saw of it, and I didn’t touch it or allow it to touch me. Wife Erika introduced with pyrotechnics flaring? A QR code provided to come to Jesus? Erika “forgiving” little Tyler? Tucker laughing inappropriately as he always does? You know Trump is planning to set up a WWF ring on the front lawn of the White House? Ol’ Remus warned us to avoid crowds. I shall abide.

Quite a production wasn’t it?
It becomes curiouser and curiouser.

Indeed. I actually saw this vid (by a diff person) on a different site the other day but didn’t know what I was looking at.

And this video you sent is plausible as it gets. Professional hit… not the slug little Tyler shot directly in front. They got their patsy. And by the way, where’s the slugs?
I spent a week in Eugene one night.
It was a favorable experience.
I’ll tell ya about it sometime, when we’re sitting around the firepit some cold night, sippin’, puffin’, yappin….
More questionable weirdness caught on video…
