We would say that something like this is "the death of the 60's" but that corpse has been long dead, ridden with more wounds than Sonny Corleone (speaking of which, has anyone else seen the new TV commercial by the Oil & Gas Industry? The one that shows a bunch of multi-ethnic hands clasping together, all to the strains of "Get Together?" That's not just killing the 60's, that's taking the corpse out and doing such nasty, depraved things that even jaded San Franciscans would say "wow, that's sick.").
Also in Grateful Dead news, for all you Dead Heads wishing to own Jerry's throne, it could now be had through the magic of eBay. Yes, somebody put his toilet up for sale. Seriously, who would want Jerry's toilet? The dude shot way too much smack and ate way too many chili cheese dogs. The only way we'd go near his toilet would only be after somebody sprayed some serious disinfectant all over it.
