NO PEEKING or cheating looking it up you got to know it. :smash:

First one to answer correctly gets a free popper.

Geez Scott, how am i going to get that one without cheating. :huh: :D

I'm still thinkin though. :hihi:

I KNOW there's a few guys on here that will know this :D

Guessing here, was it the first World Trade Center bombing?

Is it Jerry's anniversery of his death??? I think that was summer of 95??

This has Slip written all over it

Yup, Jerry Garcia died.
I can't believe it's been 12 years. I might try and get tickets to Phil and Friends when they goto the Mohegan. One of those things for me that I will always remember where I was when I heard it. Some life guard at the Cape Cod Vacation Condominiums in Yarmouth told me as I pulled in to Ricky's and my apartment. Do you remember where you were???

:btu: :btu: :btu:

I can't figure out how to e-mail you. Pm me your email address if you have time. And Thanks!!!!

Isn't today is also the anniversary of bombing of Nagasaki? Which led Japan to surrender in WWII?

That too. 12 years ago would have been the 50th anniversay, too.

The forgotten atomic city for most people. Being second ever at anything makes you a historical footnote. Everyone knows that John Glenn was the first American to orbit the eath, but maybe 3 people out of a hundred remember that Scott Carpenter was #2.

And even I can't name the second group of astronauts to walk on the moon :huh:

Jeez, that was 12 yrs ago? I was living in San Francisco, young, stupid and having the time of my life.......man life was simpler then.

Geez, Slip prolly needs another new bumper sticker by now. :huh: :D

jerry garcia past away, and i just read the rest of the post.. oh well

yup jerry garcia passed on.

I only remember because I had an aunt who passed away that same day in 1995.

One thing that hasn't been the same since is that I don't see people camped out in and around the garden area in boston. I walk to the train at n. station everyday and always got a kick out of seeing the whole dead community that would set up there when they were in town.

RIP JERRY!

10 four I got eet

Patchwork Quilt

I never knew you
But then who really did?
If you were at all like me
You managed to keep yourself hid
A patchwork quilt of a life
Memories embroidered
On your soul

So please forgive me
For putting you in my song
But the spirit she moves me
In fact she pushes me along
It's a patchwork quilt of a life
Can't stop the river
Just let it roll

We were at Jones Beach
When we got the word
Saddest sound that I ever heard
The bluest note that nobody could play
Ravens sang with us that night on the stage
Tears of sadness, tears of rage
But nobody spoke, we all felt old
And in the way

So walk beside me
Or above me, I don't know
These days it sure seems
I'm lost where ever I go

God, how could you, I heard someone say
And what do we do with our lives now anyway?
Now that our North Star can no longer be found

But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky
Hippies dance and babies cry
Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel look down
And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars
Bright lights, Dark Star

I never knew you
But then who really did
If you were at all like me
You managed to keep yourself hid
