If you ever wondered....

If you ever wondered about the rabbit's political views, resisting the temptation to suggest that maybe you should get out more, the rabbit has done a guest posting on the Charon QC blog. The picture is of course Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People. Nice. For those not exercised by such matters, here are the Dead (we haven't had any for ages, have we?) with Trucking. Note how Mr Weir misses his cue.

I never saw a live Dead show where they ever got the lyrics right to Truckin.

Then there was the time at Cal Expo that they were doing Peggy-O and Jerry accidentally killed off Sweet William-O by singing that verse second instead of near the end.

Policits??? Nothing. I understand that you have something against Chelsea!

Then again, I support several different football clubs, which can be interesting when they play each other. Of course, nothing like supporting Man U and Man City.

Just blipping in to say hello and thanks for the Dead.

JoJo - I gatherv that near the end of his life Jerry G's vocals and the expected lyrics had less and less connection. How did he deal with messing the narrative of Peggy O like that? I always find the best approach to that sort of thing is to look as if you meant it! ;)

Laci - Ah! You've been reading my mate the slapped primate. It's a Leeds thing...


Little Flower - Blip in just as often as you like! :D

Ah, the Dead. Brings back soooo many memories!

I forgive you.

Jerry powered through with the verses anyway and we just applauded the effort. I can see why he lost his place...it's a long song with a lot of verses and after getting lost in the jam b/t verses, I can see where he'd be thinking, "crap, what did I just sing? what comes next?" Same thing used to happen w/ Jack-A-Roe.

Sybil - Indeed!

Laci - And I shall serenade you with the 'Chelsea Scum Song' if you ask nicely. There ya go...

JoJo - Quite so - ultimately it doesn't matter. the melody lingers on...
