Red and white, blue suede shoes, I’m Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I’m still alive, ain’t no luck, I learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don’t change. Stay seventy-two come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
~ Grateful Dead
In a town called Goldfield Nevada there are dozens of cars and trucks buried upright and painted. It is intended as a outdoor art gallery. There is no shortage of old wrecks as every yard in town has at least four in their yard. This is a many layered shot of light painted images masked together to bring out the best of each.
"The bus came by and I got on that's when it all began.
There was cowboy Neal behind the wheel of the bus to never ever land."
This "Dead Bus" participated in the car show at the Shell Factory and Nature Park in North Fort Myers, Florida.
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own.
Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings.
"Eyes of the World" Grateful Dead
I had attended the Grateful Dead's Rainforest Benefit Concert at Madison Square Garden. And I had purchased an after-show ticket for a party at Union Square. When I walked up to the door, John Scher, the concert promoter, was entering and I said hello. And most of the Grateful Dead were there. But I couldn't see all of them because the large loft was packed! There was a Brazilian drum band with dancers! Mickey Hart and Babatunde Oluntuji hung out with everyone for a long time!
Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Are flown, except you alone
Gonna leave this brokedown palace
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll
In a bed, in a bed
By the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
River gonna take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home
Going home, going home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
Going to plant a weeping willow
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow
Singing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river will roll, roll, roll
Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

Explore #314 Gabriel is a fellow traveler with the last stranger, 7-11. He too did not use his real name and wanted to be anonymous. The one thing that he said that still sticks with me is when he said "I wanted to go by a new name to disconnect from my past."
I wanted to hug this boy and tell him, no matter what you call yourself, the past will always be there, it is as much a part of you as the color of your sad but beautiful eyes. I understand though, when you first leave your family to find your "home", you want something drastically different than what you had experienced thus far. At his age, he is still chaos adjacent. In time I hope he finds himself far enough away from the chaos that he can see it with more perspective. To truly disconnect yourself from the past, you have to forgive. To forgive is to let go. To forgive is to be free from it all. As long as you keep yourself at a safe distance. If the chaos invites you back in and you accept, forgiveness is much more difficult. I hope that when he is on a train and looking out on the trees racing by in a green blur, he can find who he is despite how the past treated him. This I know for sure, he is bright and beautiful, he survived the past and that makes him a warrior. May peace truly be with you and you find you don't need to battle anymore.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.
But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

"...Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began
There was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land..."
"The Other One"
(Lyrics by Weir/Kreutzman)

Grateful Dead
American Rock Band
The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. Ranging from quintet to septet, the band is known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, psychedelia, experimental music, modal jazz, country, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, and space rock, for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams, and for their devoted fan base, known as "Deadheads". "Their music," writes Lenny Kaye, "touches on ground that most other groups don't even know exists." These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead "the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world". The band was ranked 57th by Rolling Stone magazine in its The Greatest Artists of All Time issue. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and a recording of their May 8, 1977 performance at Cornell University's Barton Hall was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2012. The Grateful Dead have sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.
The Avalon Ballroom was a music venue in the Polk Gulch neighborhood of San Francisco, California, at 1244 Sutter Street[1] (or 1268 Sutter,[2] depending on the entrance). The space operated from 1966 to 1969, at the height of the counterculture movement.
The Grateful Dead played at the Avalon 29 times from 1966 through 1969, and recorded two live albums, entitled Vintage Dead and Historic Dead, in the autumn of 1966. 2 tracks of their famous "Live/Dead" album were also recorded there in early 1969, The Eleven and Turn On Your Love Light.

Hope everybody is doing wonderful!
I couldn't resist this bottle of red wine with the Halloween themed label... looks like Mr. Bones agrees!

Photograph of the Grateful Dead by photographer Herb Greene. Greene (1943- ) is noted for his photographs of the burgeoning music scene in San Francisco, California, in the 1960s. A friend of many of the movement’s most important artists, Greene produced a prolific archive of portraits of Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, and Led Zeppelin, among others. Greene was one of the Dead’s principal photographers. He was present at the band’s inception in 1965, when they were still known as the Warlocks.
Originally photographed in 1967 at the corner of Haight and Ashbury streets in San Francisco's 'Haight District'. During the 1960's young dreamers converged in the Haight by the thousands. Historians deem the neighborhood the birthplace of the hippie movement, marked by peaceful protests and psychedelic experimentation. The era’s greatest luminaries, including Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, all lived nearby.
Greene's photograph was seen on display at the exhibit entitled "Summer of Love" at the de Young Museum in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.
