I always thought this was interesting:

The last words sung by the Grateful Dead's keyboardist in the 80's, Brent, were "I've got to go but my friends can stick around" (in "the weight") and he died ten years to the day after their previous keyboardist, Keith

What was the last peice of music ever played at a Grateful Dead Show?




Jimi Hendricks "Star Spangled Banner" During the after show fireworks...Truly weird,one of the first popular psychedlic peices of electric music,was the last thing us Deadheads ever heard at a "Deadshow"

Chris Barnes is in Six Feet Under and Torture Killer... and he was in Cannibal Corpse before Corpsegrinder took over that position.

Six Feet Under released a German version of 'Bringer of Blood'

I don't know if that's really 'trivia-worthy'

Marilyn Manson's real name is Brain Warner.<-----that one just came to me.

Now, about the discussion what is more talented, hip-hip or rock music. In my opinion, both take a great deal of talent, but in different ways. It could take you years before you learn how to cut a record on beat, but playing guitar isn't as easy as people say either. If you don't play guitar, go pick one up and play me a tune and see how easy it is.

Both genres of music take time, and patience to learn. Saying one thing is harder than another is just a cock sizing compitition, it has no point.

It was just a few days ago that i helped Micky Harts Cousin, Makhal, carry some of her belongings into her new place, here in San Francisco.
She has a great collection of old 45's.

The Beatles first dropped acid at Harry Houdini's house in L.A, also where RHCP recorded blood sugar sex magic and were Slipknot recorded their new album that I can't remember the name of. Lot's of people say the house is haunted. The line in Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (and don't let anyone kid you, it is about acid) "Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers that grow so incredibly high" was an observation Ringo made while they were walking through a crowd into the house past a garden of flowers.

The Beatles song "A Day In The Life" was actually an unfinished Paul Song and an unfinished John song pieced together.

Along the same lines, most of the 2nd half of The Beatles "Abbey Road" was unfinished songs masterfully tossed together by their producer, George Martin.

The Beatles were so stoned during the filming of the movie "Help" that it almost didn't happen.

The guitar solo in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was actually played by Eric Clapton, not George Harrison

The Beatles song "Something" and the Eric Clapton song " Wonderful Tonight" have been called two of the most romantic songs in rock music. Ironically they are about the same woman- Pattie Boyd, first married to George Harrison and then to Eric Clapton.

I believe that George intimidated paul and john. Pattie knew where to go to get her toast buttered.

How do we step over
look over
look away from
a fallen
once erect
human being

Shivering awake
in the bitter night cold
coughing up
blood, hope, idependence

We see the forgotten
isolated
invisable even if seen

Like drops of rain
we fall through
the cracks of pavement
like torrents of rain always there
we bore into the bones
of humanity

Chilled to the core
and ignored
we either dry up
or rise up
like shoots of grass
in stone

Hollowed eyed
moving in apathy
sounds around but distant
never more than an hours fitful sleep
one eye open all the time
"keep moving"
strange voices shout
we move
carrying everything we own
on our backs

Dirt in every pore
where do we wash our skins
our pain
our guilt
as cold eyes treat us
as outcasts
or outlaws

We forage for food
our nurishment is from garbage cans
or dumpsters behind super markets

Complacent
moving skeletal frames
do we go on
not caring?
hitting "the bottoms"

We can only ascend
'cause we cant fall outta bed
if we're sleeping on the floor
a small spark
becomes the fire
warming
glowing
growing
shelter in purifications blaze

Give a hand to a brother or sister
mama or child
hold out your hand
'till it's empty too
give a blanket
a kind look
a care
a holy name
a floor or bed

Any crave for relief
is welcome
some medicine
a placebo
a divine panacea
will do

so please dont step over us
we could be you
