...I could not believe that [Deputy Dan] actually stood by the window and watched us for over the entire half hour. That's most likely because you "talked back" at him. One time I was leaving a concert...walking past the porta-potties on the way out...and the security goons were beginning to chase people out of the place....there were a bunch of them standing in front of the potties with their arms crossed being all bad and stuff...people were still going in and out of the johns without much commotion....but they had to sort of wiggle their way past the "thugs" to get in and out.....so I figured I would just walk behind this one goon's back to get in because there was more room that way.............Oh Lord!!!!!.....he came in there and pulled me out yelling, "NO!...NO!...NO!.....get outta here!!! etc....so I calmly said, "what's the deal, man? you let all those other people go!!!"...and he's like, "that's because you was dissin' me!"...and I'm like, "HUH?!?!"....and he explains I was dissin' him by "sneaking" in behind his back.....too funny!!!! Ever see those bumper stickers on the po'leece cars that say, "It's all attitude"? Yea.....quite often it seems they have an attitude problem. Now I'm NOT dissin' all cops at all. It's usually the young punks with the attitude problem that need to be spanked, IMHO. Most of the older ones are great guys and perform a selfish and much needed service.......

Just a thought but don't y'all think that if George W. Tony Blair and Saddam got together for a good old spliff the world might be a much safer place to be tonight. I dunno....anybody know what the track record was with the Native Americans and their Peace Pipes??? There seemed to be a lot of fierce fighting going on between the various tribes. Perhaps that was *before* they pulled out the kind buds???

Gotta share this story about ticket scalping at Farm Aid
Okay, okay, I won't repeat that I got first row anymore at Farm Aid, did I say I got first row? Sorry about that I am really not an arrogant ass, but anyway back to the story. I had two extra tickets in Section 8 and I had to get rid of them. My wife and I noticed there were no one standing on the side of the road asking for seats, there was no roaming the parking lot yelling for tickets or even selling em so we decided (we're pretty stupid when it comes to this) to stand in front of the ticket office and mention to people we were selling these seats for face value. We weren't making a scene, but we were pretty obvious to the ticket window. I didn't want any extra money I just wanted what I paid for em. i ended up telling my wife I just couldn't do this, we were going to get stuck with em and that was that. To all the ticket brokers out there, I still despise your practice but I admire your determination to get rid of em. Here comes Deputy Dan (who by the way was really nice) told us we couldn't do this, it was against the law to sell tickets. I told him it was against the law to try to make extra money for tickets but I could sell them at what I paid for em (I told you I was arrogant, but I didn't throw in the ignorant part- I was actually hoping he felt sorry for us - he probably felt sorry for my wife) - he told us that he would confiscate the tickets, arrest us or write us a citation. He didn't know if we paid a dollar a piece for these seats, by this time, there were interested ears listening, so I did announce rather loudly I just wanted face value. He gave us such a nice speech that I believe if he left we would have been swamped. Thank you Deputy cause you gave me great publicity, but you did frighten me cause I'd never been in that situation before. I sold them about a half hour after his arrival and departure. I could not believe that he actually stood by the window and watched us for over the entire half hour. The couple that bought the seats off of us were so nice about this whole situation. I hope you're reading this, I never did ask for your name, I let my wife do the transaction. If she got arrested, I was still going to see the show. LOL! Arrogant huh? No. I ain't no dummy when it comes to tcertain things. I'd have bailed her out Monday or something. I had the car keys. Believe me when I say this, I do not support scalping tickets and I'm not sure if I fall under this category, but if I anger anyone by reading this, I apologize. I do however, realize what it feels like to be a criminal once more. And we definitely felt like criminals. Criminal in the sense that I ain't felt like I was breaking the law since I was a teenager. The only difference now is that I knew it and I actually cared.

Dave wrote: I had always wondered how the band came up with the title of the record. I'm not sure if this is correct but it seems there are a few of nautical themes to the art. Hi Dave and All, I've wondered myself about the name. Never thought about a nautical angle. Could be, but on the other hand as an old soldier, I look at it as the phonetic alphabet used in military communication. Yankee=Y, Hotel=H, Foxtrot=F. Is there any significance to YFH? Does anyone out there know? By the way Dave, have a great time at the show. I'm looking forward to seeing Wilco at the ACL festival this weekend myself. Of course, I also get to see Ryan Adams, the Jayhawks, String Cheese Incident, Allison Moorer, Emmylou Harris....oh the list just goes on and on :-) Cheers, Paleojack

Id hafta say its the one that sold me too. I remember listening to scratched vinyl come through my speakers and wishing it was harder. and then i heard weld. I remember wondering if i could get an instrumental version. Crime is the best song in the catalog.....maybe...but either way its damn good

Did anyone at Farm Aid notice whether Neil and the chief actually mixed each other's blood to make it official? (Shaking hans with a small knife in the middle, causing each person's hand to bleed slightly.) -They could've done like my Native friend and I used to do to show off: Get a condom and pour some pig's blood in it, tie it up and place it in your hand, hidden from view, get a real dull fishing knife, place it into the middle our hands as the two of us are shaking hands, it punctures the condom, blood appears, and we're genuine Blood Bros.

I don't doubt that non-smoking marijuana could be a marginally profitable commodity in a poor, undeveloped country with very cheap land and a labor-intensive, largely subsistence economy. In the United States and other developed nations it is not possible; the cost of production would exceed the value of the crop by a wide margin.
Of course, I suppose we could do like we do for many other agricultural products and subsidize its production. That won't happen.

Times Square--- Crime in the City
Hello All,
On the way to work this morning, listening to the Times Square cdr, I was again amazed how DOWN listening to Crime in the City gets me. Living on the South Side of Chicago, I hear and see so much inner city turmoil, big city politics, police mistreating people, and being mistreated, kids being murdered by their parents or grandparents etc... This song always seems to magnify whatever the horror story of the week maybe.
If I ever leave the big city, it will mainly be because of the bombardment of grief and destruction I am hit with from all media involved in information out. I cannot even watch the News anymore, Emeril Live became my 10:00 pm staple a few years back. Neil 's music affects me in many ways, but this particular tune just rips my guts out most all the time.
Anyone else ever affected by this song thusly?
Peace out, Best... Dennis

It's the same plant. Marijuana for smoking is simply bred and cultivated for bud production and higher THC concentrations. Marijuana for industrial use would, in theory, be bred and cultivated for high content of fibrous stems.
The supposed market for non-smoking marijuana is imaginary. The market for smoking marijuana is quite real. The proponents of "industrial hemp" include very few industrialists and a (coincidentally?) high number of smokers. The cash yield per acre of smoking marijuana would be several thousand times higher than the cash yield of "industrial hemp." No reliable evidence exists to support (and common sense refutes) the argument that non-smoking marijuana could be marketed profitably on a mass scale.
The political capital wasted promoting the idea of "industrial hemp" would be better spent advocating the legalization of cultivating and possessing small amounts of marijuana for personal use.

Re: Stupid Bridge School Ticket Question...nnc
"Paul T" <ptomita@...> wrote: The Bridge School Benefit is three things: 1. A great concert 2. A fund raiser for the school 3. A party and celebration for the students, families, staff and benefactors
<snip> What this all adds up to is many more of the lower bowl tickets are gone before the general public sale occurs. Much more than a *normal* concert. Of course, this does nothing to ease the pain of getting shut out.
Looking forward... to all Rusties being down front, Paul Thanks for your words of wisdom, Paul; you set my saddle straight. I now can see my prior angst through different eyes and I'll be able to check my attitude at the door. That is at My own front door before I ride down from SAC for the show. My friend that I asked to go with me last year to see the BSB was able to buy some tickets to this years show. She invited me to go. Ya hoooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!! Keep on acoustically rockin' in the free world. slim justice why do i keep f'in up? __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

Sounds like you have been watching too many movies lately. Best curtail your television....No, they did not mix blood. That has not been done for quite a while now. Instead, there is a ceremony involving eagle feathers and sage. Very nice. Peace Kathy HGS

Peacenik1965@... wrote: I always thought he sang "old enough to REPAINT but young enough to sell," a reference to the difficult decision whether to repaint the house you currently live in or sell it and move on -- a choice that often depends upon the age (either chronological or psychological) of the person making it.

Are you telling me that all these years my interpretation has been based on mishearing the lyrics? Yep. Join the crowd. You've been mondegreened. bh aka brown-skinned indian ps -
