Message-ID: <191@opus.UUCP> Date: Thu, 31-Oct-85 21:29:21 EST Article-I.D.: opus.191 Posted: Thu Oct 31 21:29:21 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 3-Nov-85 13:29:37 EST Distribution: net Organization: NBI,Inc, Boulder CO Lines: 11 It's been said various times that the Dead are not really into having people read deep, complex meaning into the lyrics of their songs. As I understand it, they're reluctant to interpret lyrics for this reason. BUT, can anyone shed even a little light on the lyrics of China Cat Sunflower? I've READ them; I know what all the words are. I still say, "WTF, over?" Someone's playing with our heads on this one, but what's all the word stew? -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...At last it's the real thing...or close enough to pretend.
