Subject:      Appropriate VW musicians....

Jerry Garcia DID drive a beemer. I wonder why all those Deadheads didn't. I mean, he used drugs and the deadheads did. Everything is causal isn't it? Hey, why didn't all deadheads weigh 300+ pounds?

So which musical groups should we sanction? Hey, the Beastie Boys early in their careers made VW emblems trendy fashion attire! Unfortunately, the Gap didn't stock them, and some of our Busses became unwilling donors to the fickle world of fashion....

Drugs: Who cares. It's a personal decision and a victimless crime; one willing seller and one willing buyer. I don't see why the government should be in the business of protecting people from themselves, and if you are against drug use, then don't use drugs.

p.s.) I'm still looking for that VW promotional album from the early 60's; _Music to Build Cars By_. Jazz with machinery noises in the background.

p.p.s.) Saw the Dead at least a dozen times. Amazing musicians. I hope my sarchasm about Garcia's weight wasn't offensive.
