Without countering anything you just said (cause I agree with you), I'd
like to insert an aside about Why I Liked Going To Grateful Dead
Concerts Even Though I'm Really Square And Uptight:
It's one of the only places I've ever been where I was just free to be
me and didn't feel like I was being judged. Who am I? Kind of a square
and uptight guy who likes his hair cut short, can't dance, doesn't do
the nerdy bitingly sarcasm humor thing or puns, in short, I don't like
to exert any sort of Power whatsoever. In short, I felt no *judgements*
of any kind. Any old type of personality will do. It was like church.
You got me thinking about it with what you said about power. It was the
only place where people looked at me, and said: come on, we'll take you
just as you are! Here's a joint and now let's dance.
