WSA Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Any guy who "gets" Jerry Garcia and the boys as much as he does, is somebody who has the requisite sense of curiosity to get this thing done, I'll just predict. I've never heard a serious tour head tell anyone, "Naah, that's impossible." As far as cultural norms go, the Dead Heads have always been way ahead of the curve on embracing possibilities. Just sayn'. In a lot of ways they are also like folks with an interest in BF: Easily lampooned with stereotypes that merely serve to highlight the paucity of understanding. The Dead were (and still are) a brief shining moment in our culture, and that becomes only more clear the Further we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 WSA, I wondered how many people got the "Sugaree" reference on FB when Bobo was to shake a tree during a recreation?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSA Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I remember seeing that. Made me smile, smile, smile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HarryLime Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It seems like Cliff made another Dead reference on the show aside from Sugaree...I re-call him maybe saying "Tennessee, ain't no place I'd rather be"...but there was one more. Just can't think of it...? After all, the man does have a degree in Jazz Guitar. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Just don't tell them that you know my name... I think those were the only 2 references I remember Harry. So has anyone listened to his guitar playing? It was very hokey when they threw him in the square dance episode. He looked lost on the strings there.

Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Cliff is a helluva dude. Honest, engaging, transparent, objective, etc. The Bigfoot Roadtrip DVD is entertaining, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I haven't seen the DVD yet, but I can join in and say I think Cliff is a genuine and honest guy. Very earnest. The best thing about watching Finding Bigfoot is seeing a good guy like Cliff get paid to do what he loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanFooter Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 When I met him for my appearance on the show I was so over taken in conversation that the filming of the show going on felt secondary, if I had the chance I would have sat there and picked his mind for many days. He is honest, very intelligent, scientific and very easy to be around , I wish there was more like him. He mentioned me in the field notes of his blog and said I reminded him of a younger version of himself , I felt honored to be considered worthy of mention and I find myself aspiring to be more like all the time. We still are in contact often on our latest field operations and reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's evidence right up there with P/G. You don't? Here. Take one of these. No, the green ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockape Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Agreed about Cliff, seems like a good guy. And he makes FB tolerable, so if we in the Bf community are going to hell in a bucket, at least we'll enjoy the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSA Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Have to plus "B.I.W." DWA. I've got a recording somewhere of The Waybacks covering that. Stirring. Also heard Ryan Adams doing a jam-up rendition of "Bird Song" this morning, which always puts me in mind of what a Sasquatch might reply to a challenge that his species might not be cutting it, evolutionarily speaking, on comparison to his over-achieving relations : "Tell me, all that you know. I'll show you, snow and rain." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
