I was listening to Mr. Charlie on my way to get Vietnamese food. 

cosmic charlie is the worst gd song until the vince era change my mind

Dum tee dum tee doodle-dee doo means whatever you want it to, ma--aa-an!

Bullshit! Cosmic Charlie is one of the best! Many songs are one of the best but Cosmic Charlie, especially, is one of the best.

Mr. Charlie is the better of the two and has a much more danceable beat.

As for Cosmic Charlie, was anybody else at Chinese New Year in 94 when they did an extended Cosmic Charlie tease right up to where the vocals would come in?

Starting to plan a spring trip and Vietnam is on the short list.

ever heard France?

I listened to that recently. Crowd was bummed.

Back to op, Charlie doesn't surf.

I get it.

I think. 

Rather ironic. 

No, Charlie don't surf.  He was dug in too deep, or movin' too fast. His idea of R&R was cold rice and a little rat meat. He had only two ways home: death or victory.

Brisket bao buns, pork bahn mi and a really good lime drink for under $20, including a generous tip. 

^^^^

I was reading today that you can get a good sit down restaurant meal of bahn mi and a bunch of buns plus strong fancy drink for no more than 175,000 dong or about $7.50 (23,208.50 dong to the dollar).  Also, read you can get bottles of local moonshine for $1 a bottle and the street food is even more affordable.

Saw flights from PDX to HCMC for under $800.

I was at that Oakland show.  It was like Lucy pulling the ball away.  The shows had stopped selling out, so they were trying to create a buzz.  They soundchecked St. Stephen too, but even with the new teleprompters, Jerry couldn't  deliver either of them.  

>>>It was like Lucy pulling the ball away.

No doubt.  But it was still special, especially after that UJB jam into the whole dragon thing.  I have seen many heavy metal acts over the years but that UJB jam>dragon thing is still the heaviest rock and roll music I have ever experienced.

Has anyone here been to Vietnam?   If so, please post tips in the "travel" folder.  Thanks.

I was in Viet Nam for 3 weeks in 68, i'm assuming it's changed a bit since then...

I haven't been to Vietnam, but was on the rail between Weir and Garcia for the Cosmic Charlie fake out.

I've only listened to it a couple of times since that night, but the collective groan of disappointment from the crowd when

they go into Wharf Rat is pretty funny.

I wasn't laughing that night though...

So you're saying I overpaid for my meal? Should've went straight to the source!
