Grateful Dead Give It Up, If Bush Could Learn

The Prez has to stop listening to Rove, Cheney and Rummy and go back to Jerry -- see through The Eyes Of the World!

So, the Grateful Dead have conceded. After briefly gating their digital commons, they've reversed course and made the digital downloads of their shows free to the public again. If only government were so responsive. Or Bush.

Come on, you know W. had to drop acid sometime in his life. And he probably took in some Grateful Dead at Yale in his pre-repentence days. The Prez has to stop listening to Rove, Cheney and Rummy and go back to Jerry. And see through The Eyes Of the World.

Right outside this lazy summer home
you don't have time to call your soul a critic, no
Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home
wondering where the nuthatch winters
Wings a mile long just carried the bird away

Wake up to find out
that you are the eyes of the World
but the heart has its beaches
its homeland and thoughts of its own
Wake now, discover that you
are the song that the morning brings
but the heart has its seasons
its evenings and songs of its own

There comes a redeemer
and he slowly too fades away
There follows a wagon behind him
that's loaded with clay
and the seeds that were silent
all burst into bloom and decay
The night comes so quiet
and it's close on the heels of the day

Close
