Great Marathon! Didn’t realize it was going on today but caught the tail end of it thanks to the nugs.net stream. Thanks for all your hard work, David. You must have some idea of how much you’re appreciated by deadheads all around the world.
Peace and love from South Korea!

Thanks for all of it, David; you’re nearly as amazing as the music. The Jerry home demos were a real treat, and there have been many memorable moments from the ’70s. Thanks also for the “Bluegrass Signal” plug; and, yes, you got the time and frequency correct! Onward …

Hi right back atcha, John. I fear our current clowns will retire in comfort and oblivion — which is better than some posssible outcomes, but much less than they deserve.

This whole day of music has been incredible. Hey David, let’s do this more often! (Ducking.)

Hi Drew. We had nearly 12 years of using old and inventing new 4 letter words for the “clown.” GWB called him “the man of steel” (which in Russian translates as “Stalin”! – how appropriate) but in the end, John Winston Howard lost his government, his party leadership, his Prime Ministership, and even his own seat in the House of Representatives (which has only happened once before to a PM). Let that be a lesson to the clowns in your White House!

Isn’t this 1977 stuff great?!

Hey David. Great stuff. Just bought something from the GD online store but the invoice date says 2/10. This normal? Just want to make sure 10% goes to KPFA. Damn, just love this Sugaree. Thanks man!

Right on, mate, and good on you folks for dumping your clown. (Yeah, “clown” is putting it much too nicely, but I’ve used up my four-letter word allotment.)

Greetings again to all Deadheads from Sydney, Australia on a sunny Sunday afternoon. This is my 4th? Marathon and it’s great to part of a certain kind of global village. With all this talk of Deadheads for Obama – we have just changed our government to one which is on a much more human level, e.g. the new Parliament opens this week and there will be an official Government apology to our Aboriginal people for their suffering on Wednesday (Tuesday your time), something the previous rotten government refused to do for 12 years. Just as Howard & Bush were on the same conservative trip, so will PM Kevin Rudd and President Obama be kindred spirits on the liberal side of politics. But it’s time for you guys to do your half of the equation – so GET OUT AND VOTE! NO EXCUSES THIS TIME.
