I just read, in a magazine called Ampersand that is periodically inserted into the daily student paper, that the Dead are scheduled to release an album in March. Any corroborations out there?

I heard the rumors too. I also heard what some of the songs will be when it finally does hit the street: Touch of Grey Throwin' Stones Hell in a Bucket (or as my friend Ken insists, RIDE) Guess we all expected those. I also heard this rumor (probably FALSE): There will be some brass arrangements on this album. Can it be? (Movie idea: The boys meet EW&F -- naaaaaah.) Anyway, I was lucky enough to hear some early session tracks for this album, and it sounded real good. By the way, I'm new on the net, and I was REALLY glad to see this newsgroup on it. I don't want to sound insulting, but one of the reasons why I began to lose interest in the full-blown life on the road was the growing lack (lacking growth?) of ... how can I say this ... those really exciting, intelligent, fun, and loving people that we used to meet all the time, even just a couple of years ago. It seems that there is a much-bigger-than-ever infiltration of loud, rude, heavy-metal type kids (for lack of a better description) into the concerts. I guess it's just turning people off. It's doing that to me. But I can't help wonder if it's me. I met this guy a couple of weeks ago that I once met on a tour about 2.5 years ago. Not only is he an ultra-yuppie, but he now looks at the whole dead scene in an EXTREMELY negative way. I'm kinda scared that I may be headed in that direction without me knowing it. The dead is still by far my favorite group, I go to shows whenever I can get to them, and I thoroughly enjoy them. But I just can't help feeling something is happening to me. I know a few others that feel the same way I do. I'd really like to hear others comments on this subject. "My eyes don't see what I want them to" !!!!?????!!!!!! Thanks for listening. See you on the net and in the halls. Rob Diamond @ Rutgers Newark CS dept.
