From: Roy Harkow <roy@SCRC-YUKON.ARPA> Unfortunately, I couldn't get a ticket for Greek (sigh), but a friend was friendly enough to send me a little poster. One side shows a take-off on the Lexington Minuteman statue, with a skeleton holding a guitar. American Flag and sky in bg, GRATEFUL DEAD in foreground, and underneath it says, "Twenty Years So Far". On the back are the words to the aforementioned song, published by Ice Nine. Get on your long skirts & tie-dyed shirts, and follow the bouncing skull... Just like Grandma Moses Just like Auld Lang Syne Play the change, however strange And get it right this time! It's been a hard haul 20 as the crow flies When your back's to the wall Got to play it as it lies Let there be music, dance and the beating of drum Drop whatever you're doing and come on the run Twenty years later the groove is just starting to click It's all variations on some impossible lick Come hear Uncle John's Band Playing to the years Come along or go alone Like an avalanche or a rolling stone Wave that flag! Wave it while you can Long as you keep coming You got a band Thanks for 20 years of being an audience which is the envy of every other rock and roll band alive. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke! Write if you get work. Spare change? Don't touch that plug!
