Jerry Garcia's guitar truckin' to auction, could fetch $1M
NEW YORK (AP) — Jerry Garcia's custom-made guitar is truckin' to auction in New York City.
The Grateful Dead frontman's guitar is called Wolf. Guernsey's auction house says it'll be offered May 31 at Brooklyn Bowl, a bowling alley, restaurant and venue for music shows.
The proceeds will go to the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center .
The guitar is being sold by devoted Deadhead Daniel Pritzker. The philanthropist, musician and film director bought it in 2002 at Guernsey's for $790,000. It could exceed $1 million this time.
The auctioneer says Wolf first appeared in a 1973 New York performance the Grateful Dead gave for the Hells Angels.
Garcia played Wolf everywhere from San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom to New York's Palladium and Egypt's Great Pyramids.
The 1977 film "The Grateful Dead Movie" was directed by Garcia and features extensive Wolf footage.
Garcia died in 1995.

Oh enough of the "racist" BS.
Oh enough of the "racist" BS. I live in THE MOST RACIALLY DIVERSE AREA OF THE NATION IF NOT THE WORLD. I meet with people of all shades colors sexual orientations EVERY SINGLE DAY. PROBABLY MORE THAT MOST OF YOU WHITE BREDS!!!! Um PORTLANDIA for example.?!?! Any "blacks" there? not mannnnnnyyy! Funny, no one that KNOWS me or has EVER met me, worked with me has EVER, EVER accused me of this cartoonish BULLSHIT "racism" charge that most Libtardians, usually white bred clowns like yourself "Timmy" make when they feel like they are losing an argument. Nice Catch-all, "you disagree with Obama, you're OBVIOUSLY A racist" and so forth, it's DISGUSTING. and it's LAZINESS on display.
So enough of the shit already. IS ONE NOT ALLOWED TO BE CRITICAL OF AN ORGANIARTION WITH A VERY CHECKERED HISTORY"!"! WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF??

I stand by my statement. You have posted links to websites run by white supremacist groups and the Southern Poverty Law Center tracks their actions. That's all documented fact.

Why would anyone be against the Southern Poverty Law Center unless they sided with the groups it opposes?
"The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is an American nonprofit legal advocacy organization specializing in civil rights and public interest litigation. Based in Montgomery, Alabama, it is noted for its successful legal cases against white supremacist groups, its classification of hate groups and other extremist organizations, and its educational programs that promote tolerance."

SPLC is a worthy recipient.
SPLC is a worthy recipient.
A couple of years ago I helped a kid do his DACA paperwork (successfully), then helped him get a presidential scholarship at a junior college. I explained to the school his situation, and they were accommodating until it was time to register for classes. He called me over the summer in distress over it. I contacted SPLC in Montgomery and within an hour I received a call back. Within two hours I heard from their immigration specialist in Atlanta, and hooked her up with the kid. Within a week the college found him a better scholarship, and he's now at Auburn on his way to becoming an attorney specializing in immigration law. Maybe, one day, for SPLC.
I hesitate to share this story because it totally blows my reputation around here as a racist, but I really don't give a shit.
i also have to say seadoggie makes very good points in his followup post. Go against the demo-quo around here and you are called a racist. For the record, I am registered unaffiliated.

SPLC actually did something about the Michael Donald lynching here in Mobile in 1981, not Beauregard Sessions like Seadumb claims in the other thread.
Sued the United Klans of Alabama on behalf of Michael's family and got such a large award that the UKA had to sell all their property to pay it.
ender, what Christians do they categorize as a hate group? I have read most of their stuff. Surely you are not referring to Identity Church? That is a finely tuned hate group.
Maybe the homophobic activists?

I still recall that Fountain SeaDog and Chef Bill were acclaimed as sharing an IP address a while back. So maybe they are living in the same quarters, or one is a spoof upon the other.
Met Chef Bill once or twice at shows. He is a uniquely stylistic dancer from the post-modern school. SSB & he could have Dance-offs and garner international WebTV audiences.

Mr. Jonª --
Mr. Jonª --
There is that olde joke,
"Why don't Baptists have Sex standing up ?"
"It might lead to Dancing."
And here is what you need to know about Mr. Hüsky. While he is a very gentle and friendly Canine companion to all races and ages of Hu-persons, other Canines and possibly Kittehs, he is blessed with "High Prey Drive" which means he likes to kill Bunnies, Deer, Squirrels, Groundhogs, Sheep, maybe even Goats.
Once you start dancing with H.I.M. it only enhances the 'High Prey Drive'.
At age three, he is really quite chill and sociable. I've gotten H.I.M. into Sled-Dawg clubs and similar Family-oriented activities. He volunteers at Nursing Homes.
But when you undertake the Dance - moves training, he may lose the Domestic Dawg training and slaughter many Chickens and other Foodish animals.
That's when the innate WereWolf genetics start to take effect.

Also...the most obsessive can ID which guitar Jerry is playing just by listening.
