In Dreadheads, funky white kidsgroovers on Gaia and ganja, the spiritual progeny of Kerouac and Garciaknot up their hair and go in search of song, sun and transcendence, casting off the 9-to-5 for a 24/7 celebration of their own American Dream: Freedom, The Road, The Feast of Friends. Shot in gritty super-8 film and crisp digital tape in locations ranging from Maine to California, the films quick cuts, jagged angles and artful editing deliver the scene with an audacious eye. As the improv, jam-based soundtrack evolves, several dreaddie archetypes (the wounded artist, the drunk and high-lifer, the spiritual seeker) and dozens of others share stories of musical transcendence, confrontations with straight society, battles with the fearsome head lice, and what its like living the outsider life in Bushs Americaall with humor, wit, and earnest intensity. Also making appearances are academics, pop culture observers and musicians (Bob Weir, Dave Schools, Jimmy Herring, John Bell) from the bands who energize and empower the modern-day, ragtag gypsy wagon-train that follows them across the country. This is the definitive portrait of an authentic, vibrant, uniquely American subculture.

"I loved it unreservedly! Dreadheads is the first film to fully capture the creativity and bright, independent spirit of one of America's most misunderstood subcultures. Fast-paced, fun and funnyit finds the groove and stays there!"
-- Blair Jackson, author: Garcia: An American Life

"Dreadheads is a superb exploration of a remarkable subgroup-within-a-subculture, the dreadlocked, hard-core hippies on the fringe of the American experience."
-- Dennis McNally, author: A Long Strange Trip

"Dreadheads is an artful, intelligent portrait of an ethos many dreadheads know little about. The film renders the kids and their zeitgeist with energy, wit and a true insider feel for this outsider community. It is a worthy document_"
-- David Gans, author, musician, producer: The Grateful Dead Hour

"Dreadheads shows us one of the last places in this society that you can disappear into, and not be found."
-- Bob Weir, Grateful Dead

"Seriously hip, alive and vibrant, ultra-real, edgy. This is an inventive, fearless trip."
-- Paul Evans, co-author, The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll.

"Though not the least bit interested in Phish, ganja or hair sculpting, I couldnt take my eyes off it."
-- David T. Lindsay, Stomp and Stammer

When the last rose of summer pricks my finger,
And the hot sun chills me to the bone,
When I can't hear the song for the singer,
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own.

When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain,
And the stars start to splatter in the sky,
When the moon hits the southwest horizon,
With the scream of an eagle on the fly,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And listen to the ripples as they moan,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own.

Black muddy river, roll on forever,
I don't care how deep or wide, if you've got another side,
Roll muddy river, roll muddy river, black muddy river, roll.

When it seems like the night will last forever,
And there's nothing left to do but count the years,
When the strings of my heart begin to sever,
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears,
I will walk alone, by the black muddy river,
And dream me a dream of my own,
I will walk alone, by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own, sing me a song of my own.

Ok so now is the time, better now then never to tell you the truth about what all girls have on their mind and how they lie when they say that size does not matter. Take it from me, I am living proof that can confirm for you that the size and thickness of your prick does mean so much to all girls and if you can not satisfy a girl like the guys with big meatpoles do, then they will find a guy who can.
My bro Sammy heard about these enlarge pills on myspace a few months back and he ordered like nine bottles of the stuff, I know cause I found them stashed under his bed and he caught me snooping then told me all about his secret and that they made him grow almost 3 inches in two months and it got real thick too. He got them from this site just copy and paste it in your browser. GCOFE.COM
Best of all, the pills do work, Sam is living proof and I have no reason to lie for him, all the girls surround him now like he is some celeb, and he says its all cause of these little goodies from GCOFE.COM
Oh ya, just so you know, they guarentee that the pills work on any man or you get whatever you paid right back, so instead of thinking about doing it, just go to GCOFE.COM now and show the ladies what you are made of.
