Rude

pipe dreams help me stay sane as well.

Deadco summer tour officially cancelled so much for the economy reopening. I’m curious how many restaurants will be closing in cities like Orlando that will be decimated. Disneyland won’t be recovered for years and it’s responsible for maybe 100k jobs in the Orlando area. The fear associated with this is what will cause long term damage. Some older people may never fly again. Many people won’t go where there are crowds even if allowed for years. And if the vaccine is only as effective as the flu vaccine and 300k die a year as we can’t shut it down forever, many industries will cease to exist. I think this is a good time to sell short on many industries. Market is way overpriced. Way way overpriced.

Curious if the less sanitary people we know are washing their hands or bodies during this? Well not that curious. Hugs are now outlawed so the “am I supposed to guve so and so a hug” problems are resolved. I told the gf when in doubt, hug. Now only super spreaders and Louisiana churches will be participating in this archaic hugging practice. On a weird note, it seems that much of the new porn now, so I’ve heard, is with people wearing masks. Glad to know entertainers are being safe now. on an actual medical note, it seems from early results that Boston and New Yorkers have extremely high % of peeps with positive antibody tests. So like we’ve all known, way more people have had this than tested. But from one test it showed 30% of people in Chelsea, MA had antibodies. It wasn’t scientific and small sample size and it’s possible that mostly people who thought they had it months ago were the ones that had the test. But then again not surprised in an area where you are more likely to see girls fight in a bar than guys and where black guys cross the road if see white guys walking at them at night. Makes the jersey shore look like the hamptons. So of course they have herd immunity. Honestly I’m ready to have it already. It’s gonna mostly come for us all so let’s get it over with before summer. I think Dso needs to do a show on some private island like fyre festival. Trump wants to reopen the economy. I suggest that you guys get in touch with Jared kushner and speak on behalf of all touring musicians and get trump to tweet we will be reopening music halls soon. This is his path to reelection. Get all the deadheads who care about shows more than politics to vote. If he gets me shows in July he’s got my vote. Of course he’s the laziest president we will ever have but his tweets are policy so maybe try to get on fox and friends and talk about how musicians want to play shows to bring up peoples spirits. Remember talking points like 1. The cure cannot be worse than the disease 2. More people will kill themselves if no music than die from this 3. The economy is more important than anything else 4. Music like religion can kill the virus. Be gone Satan. I command you. 5. Most importantly!!!! To be retweeted you need to say trump is the smartest and hardest working president we’ve ever had and if Jerry was still alive he’d be out there fighting for your policies of kindness and caring for all Americans. Thank you trump for reacting so quickly!! No one could have done a better job. Sincerely, Bourbon

"A year from now, 15 months from now, we have the vaccine in place," Berchtold theorized. "We're highly confident that concerts will be — 2021, 2022 — will be bigger than ever. The artists want to perform. The fans want to attend the shows. We're very comfortable, very confident that as we get through this, we'll be able to get back to the normal of being able to go to the shows thanks to the vaccine and the treatment." Live nation CEO well if we were being realistic we knew music likely won’t return in 2020. This will suck!!! scotty there will never not be 3rd parties. Me losing $1k for Ticketmaster to close is not an acceptable resolution for me. No way any place makes phase 3 until vaccine. When you open back up the cases will increase. And Dso isn’t scheduling a tour to play 1 show. time to accept no large shows until a vaccine. Ticketmaster still selling tickets to shows that are cancelled too. Insane.

Dead and co forced to cancel Folsom July 10 and 11th shows. But then we assumed summer ain’t happening. on another note Ticketmaster will not be refunding any more postponed shows. They are stealing our money. When they file bankruptcy forget ever seeing this again. I still have Stones tickets I can’t get a refund on that are rescheduled a year from now and Jrad tix that they won’t refund. This confirms what we all knew. That Ticketmaster sells early tickets to pay bands currently playing. They need those year in advance sales to pay their bills and then use those to pay bands playing now. But with no one buying tickets for shows coming up in months they can’t pay the bills. Fucking thieves. Out $500 for a stones show a year away. what’s even dumber are people on CashorTrade are posting ISO for phish at dicks. That ain’t happening. Plus there will be a gazillion tickets if it somehow did happen. So many won’t go to a football stadium mass spread event. Maybe I should dump some of these tickets im stuck with for under face.

The music had died for me before I found Dso. Now it’s dead again. I don’t see how a tour will work. I can see shows being put on but no way a tour through many states goes on. I think it’s time to look to areas that you can do 3-5 shows in larger venues at half capacity. I don’t see New York State allowing any concerts in 2020. I know it’s super early but no way 1500 people are shoulder to shoulder until this has dissipated. I think we should look at how baseball will happen this year. We all go quarantine in a hotel with music for 7 days then we see 2 weeks of shows in Arizona. Or Dso goes to the UAE and has a few weeks of shows. That’s where ufc was trying to have their event.

trumps going to restart concerts in 2 weeks..... kid rock and ted nugent will be the 1st to play.

don’t cha wanna dance say you wanna dance

This is ploy by the internet and computer companies to get us adjusted to their ideal world where we only communicate through devices. Bill Gates would be my guess as who started this virus to create a new world order.

I’m curious to ask if barraco’s headband is now a face mask. It’s nice to have a readily available accessory serving duel purposes.

i thru hiked the AT in 2005. Started April 15th and finished oct 15. Do it!!! Just send your resupply to the post offices. Pack your boxes and have family mail them when you call with the address. Set them as hold for hiker and they all hold at the office. You won’t be able to go to a restaurant or bar and scarf down 3000 calories or mooch drinks as you tell your stories(I got so much booze food and weed free just using the “it’s tough thru hiking not being able to make any money” and you get all sorts of stuff bought for you). gogogo. Pro tip: 50% of the stuff you think you need, you don’t. The clothes on your back plus a jacket are the only clothes you need. You may actually need a tent with social distancing stuff, but I did it with no tent. That’s 4 pounds you don’t need. And get some trail runners. Hiking boots are too heavy.

There will be a point in America where people will just say fuck it. Not sure if that’s 3 months or 6 months but the time will come when printing money is no longer feasible. The worst part is spring is here. That’s the depressing part. I think I’m taking up disc golf again. Can’t think of anything else to do......

Touring opposite Deadco may be rough. Plus indoors in summer isn’t ideal.

Looks like our annual Norfolk, DC run in December is adding Raleigh to it. That’s assuming those are the shows before

The gambler he broke even

My cat imitating a dancing bear

The caverns is rescheduled to 6/25, the day before St. Louis summer. Wonder if more to come on reschedules or just an 8 show early summer tour. on another note October may be a doozie. If jazz fest reschedules then plus dso’s fall plus so much else rescheduled it may make for a wild fall of choices.

Jerry band Sunday’s. My church is the best

I heard this NCAA exec was trying to bang this cross country runner at IU. She rejected him so he started his plan to get her season cancelled. To not get caught he got all sports cancelled. Success. this theory is as valid as any of the other nonsense anyone may believe.

Looks like jazz fest may also be cancelled and rescheduled in the fall. I thought I was all slick finding a direct flight to New Orleans for 5k southwest miles when 2nd weekend flights were 30k miles one way or $400 this winter. 400 mile flight from Nashville was $800 round trip this winter which means you drive. Dropped to $180 RT 2 weeks ago and I pounced. on that note I’m starting a ticket and flight refund service. I’ll sit on hold 1 hour with Ticketmaster to get your $50 tickets refunded for only $30. Great deal.

but then again Dso didn’t want to be the only band on the road and a new story come out that several people at the show were positive and everyone there had to go into quarantine. I think much of this is no band wants to be the one who caused a lot of fans to get sick. Plus Dso crowds have lots of fans 50-70yrs old and don’t think they want any fans to die because they decided to tour. No one wants that kind of PR. matt those 2 outdoor shows are great venues. Good choice. Was hot as balls but a great time. Chesterfield has grass tiers concreted in so it’s a flat dance surface everywhere which is awesome. No one wants to dance on a slope.

I booked 9 days in Maui leaving 3/30. That should boost my spirits sufficiently. Assuming tour won’t happen or at least some of it will be off the table.

So JK was right. He risks his life on tour every day!!!!!

Lol so after JRAD cancelled we decided to do 2 hyryder shows at the mousetrap in indy Friday and Saturday. Cancelled just now. I blame the idiot in chief. "We have very strong emergency powers under the Stafford Act," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday. "I have it memorized, practically, as to the powers in that act. And if I need to do something, I'll do it. I have the right to do a lot of things that people don't even know about." Makes GW bush look like a the head of MENSA.

cant lock the country down forever. If this was taken seriously from the beginning we may not be in this situation. Then last night the idiot in chief used his speech to try to reinforce his xenophobia and protectionist policies. Of course it turns out his white supremacist speech writer wrote it which helped lead to markets collapsing even more. Today the round table of his goons who took turns saying how amazingly he’s handled this doesn’t help. What a fucktard and people worship this egotistical maniac. It’s just an indictment on our reality tv low educated society....and the state of white supremacy as if you took that away doubt he’d be that popular.
