Terrapin are very mythical creatures, they have many meanings.

Alot could be told through the song "Terrapin Station: Part 1". It's lyrically fantastic and explains tons.

Now, I'd give you the URL to The Annotated Grateful Dead Lyric page, but it's down right now. If you ever want to find it type in "Grateful Dead lyrics" in a Google search. There, you can browse lyrics to many Dead songs. But the special thing is, that they attempt to explain the signicance of each song. There you will find many answers about the meaning behind Terrapin.

awesome. thanks badmoon...i want a terrapin now.

so is the song Terrapin Station Pt 1 a good one to download?

i will do a search.

It's a very interesting song, and has numerous sections. It is also 16:00 long.

Fabulous song though.

:wave:Hi.


I have three turtles.:) They are right beside my computer.

I am now obsessed with Battle Field Vietnam/.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]ya i know people like that. im cheap enough that i would only buy something i would play all the time, except my ukelele, i bought that more as a souvenir from hawaii..but it is fun it play.

i really want a Sitar, but no where in my city has one i can play.
i also want a mandolin, just because a lot of the songs i write/play would sound good with mandolin in them.[/QUOTE]

Yep, everyone wants to be Ravi Shanka (sp?)

What happened to kids idolising EC?

What in the hell does that have to do with classic rock?

Robert Plant really needs to sing it like he did on the albums, I understand why people wonder why he's not gay.

Also, I never knew page could play as fast as he does live ;)

I also get Queen's greatest hits ;)

Yay for jew day.

Which Queen greatest hits volume did you get, all of them rock not roll?

Much radio ga ga? :thumb:

rock did i tell you about the dream i had that included you in a brief section?...

i was outrunning a fleet of cops and helicopters because i tried racing a corvette, and as i was trying to outrun them...a big van with the license plate RocknotRoll turned in front of me, and showed me a secret cottage i could hide in. And the back of your van had a picture of your avatar all over it. when i got to the cottage my family was already there...weird dream.

i think i prefer the Deads more acoustic stuff. anybody else agree?

Did the cottage have padded walls?

Im more of a 70's man myself. Queen, The Who, Pink Floyd, etc.. WHat about Queen? have we talked about them?

[QUOTE=Badmoon]1977[/QUOTE]

the solos almost sound like dave gilmour. actually the whole song seems kinda Floydish.

[QUOTE=Creedence Clearwater]Did the cottage have padded walls?[/QUOTE]

nope it was a complete wreck inside though. and for some reason the world became angry at me, and threw eggs through the windows.

and yes appreciate_it, we have talked about Queen. Actually you may find them mentioned on this very page.

interesting. how did you know i look like jesus? my basketball team won't let me shave my beard, because then they won't have a good nickname for me.

Brian May and his home made guitar, now thats cool.

/looks at a picture of red special

You look like Jesus. :confused:

[QUOTE=Badmoon]*David Gilmour is sounding like Jerry Garcia.[/QUOTE]

my mistake.

and Livewired...i asked if anyone knew anything about Poco earlier, how come you didn't speak up. are you keeping information from me? what song are you listening to?

edit- i will post a picture of me sometime, so you guys can decide whether i look like jesus...i've had mixed reviews.

Creedence i really want to paint the Dylan picture in your avatar. I painted a Jim Morrison one (you know his famous picture) and it looks awesome. I think Dylan might have to be next.
