Everyone chill out! Melinda is new to the forum, and kinda went overboard w/ her oppinion(that aint a crime), but she was a good girl and edited her post just to apease you, so everyone drop it.
As for the idea that deadheads are pinko commies. I agree that the sense of community was very strong on dead tour. But if that was meant to mean that heads are un-american,you are flat out wrong.Pre-9/11 I bet you there were more american flags on the backs of cars in a parking lot at a show than at any other tour out there. And I was personally responsible for a lot of them.
In 1993 my wife and I were on summer tour, and we had a few catastrophic events(blown engine, ripped off cash, bail etc.) Luckily we had a box of about 2000 big american flag static/decals. By just giving them away for donations, we ended up w/ enough money to finish the tour and get home and back to work. As a matter of fact there are probably people on this forum who got one of my flags!
Sooooooooo...........your pinko commie angle is a little off base!!!
