White people with dreadlocks. What a long strange trip it's been.
So a friend comes by and takes me to this bar along the ocean (forgot the
name of the bar) because a mutual friend of ours is the keyboardist for the
Grateful Dead coverband Crazy Fingers [1] (out of Ft. Lauderdale).
I'm not overly ga-ga over the Grateful Dead like most Dead Heads are, and I'm
not into that whole Hippy thang either. But at the bar there were plenty of
aging Hippies, neo-Hippies, HippyChicks, tie dye shirts, Birkenstocks and
long flowing skirts, and white people with Dreadlocks. White people with
Dreadlocks.
**White people with Dreadlocks!**
Typical Americans to co-opt what was a rebel statment against the whites and
make it a fasion statement.
White people with Dreadlocks.
Anyway.
It was also amusing to see how many Dead Heads were into The Industry. I met
at least five people who worked at various jobs within the Industry and there
were probably more. My friend the keyboardist, is also in The Industry. He's
also a paper millionaire, having sold his website for an ungodly amount to
another company.
I think I have an easier time with a millionaire playing in a Grateful Dead
coverband than I do with white people with Dreadlocks.
