I do alcohols, and powders still. I'm still young an fairly attractive. I am mildy content with myself at the moment. I have earned what i am doing to my poor body. I have a spare kidney, and with technology these days, you can trade up livers in a split second. So, I'm pretty set.

No judgement here!!
I can't drink at all as I've learned I'm way too compulsive and have too many things floating around in my head that -I've proven- will lead to me going off the deep end. Many can handle it, just not me. I drank my ass off already. plus it led to depressive episodes that weren't too groovy.
Use to love scotch, hell it was the main free booze growin up in my family's liqueur cabby. Blow (?) same shit, way to obsessive and I'd be an ungrateful-dead by now like a few from my posse. still a stimulant freak w my coffee... and weed. hippie speedball is all the dr. will allow.
tryin to get high on life, but it ain't easy keepin it greazzie

hmm...i happen to like the grateful dead. there are some songs i don't really care for at all and others I absolutely love - i.e. "Fire on The Mountain", "Shakedown Street", "Scarlet Begonias". And they pulled from several different genres: country, blues, bluegrass, even jazz.......check out Garcia and Grisman's jazz/bluegrass album "So What" if you're into that type of music, which i'm guessing you don't care for either?

that being said, i agree a lot of deadheads can be annoying as fuck. . . i've met plenty that have a "holier-than-thou" attitude and seem very elitist. but then again, i've met people from all walks of life/musical genres who are like that...punks and hippies included.

I really never got the whole Dead thing.I had several fiends that were truly dead heads.
They would follow them on their tours up the east coast but all of that came to a screeching halt one year.The Dead were performing in NYC and it was the last tour date and when the boys got back to their ride.......low and behold somebody had put their car up on blocks an had completely stripped it down to the frame....... so my friends called me and asked could I come and get them which I agreed to........here's the kicker the car was completely and totally void of anything of value except for one thing the boys music collection it had been picked thru and the only things remaining were just the Grateful Dead cassettes....... The word irony comes to mind here .I cant remember how many times my friends said fuck Jerry Garcia and fuck New York . That was my first and only trip to the big apple. The highlight of the trip for me was the acid the boys scored while on the road trip it was called Dark star and it made for a most magnificent ride home .They threw out all the Dead cassettes along the way home

In all seriousness, I don't know a single person around here that likes, or has even listened to the Grateful Dead. So what the fuck are you talking about

I saw the Grateful Dead and knew NOTHING about them. I said to my cousin "who is that guy?". She told me that was Gerry Garcia and I I commented that there was something very special about him.
I ended up seeing them 11 times and they really were a band had you had to go see. Great vibe at the show.

I'm down with the dead. Wouldn't slurp on Jerry's ballsack, but I own a lot of vinyl records and have several of theirs. Garcia/grisman is awesome.

Cash fan. Grew up on his music. loved his baritone. he was a huge BoB Dillon fan and broke many norms of country music. (I'm not a really big CM fan, but do like Hank Sr. and Patsy Cline (for her voice quality more that style)oh, i love me some man in black.. he's a bit different to the dead though imvho.. at least, well, if you don't know the differences between the dead and jc, idk what to say, lol..
my old man was in the army in the early 60;s, late 50s, and was stationed in florida, where he first heard jc on the radio.. he got back home, walked into a record store in philly looking for records, and they had never heard of him.. so yeah, jc runs deep in my blood..
Johnny Cash OMG my dad played him a lot.

damn hooka, you sound a lot like me.. my mom and dad both loved hank 1, and she can't stand jr, and patsy, oh yes, love love love her.. i'm also not really a big country fan, it's pretty much the one genre of music i can't get into, aside from classical, but i do like a lot of the really old school classic country artists, before it was cnw i guess..
my mom always tells the story of how when they eloped, they had to wait in the car for x amount of hours for the court to open or w/e, and my dad just sat there and song... "how high's the water momma? ten feet and rising, blah blah blah, lol..
i can't really get into dylan either, he reminds me a lot of the dead, and for all the wrong reasons..

that's good, don't get me wrong, but i like when he more so tells a story then sings, like boy named sue.. i love that song, and a few others of course.. cocaine blues, folsom blues is incredible, umm, ring of fire, long black veil, if i were a carpenter.. blah blah blah..
