Thank You Jerry

A statement found on several Deadheads' vehicle rear bumpers expressing thanks to the late Jerry Garcia, singer, guitarist, songwriter and icon for the San Francisco roots rock band the Grateful Dead. The Grateful Dead disbanded in December 1995 after the death of Jerry Garcia earlier in the year.

The Grateful Dead are an American institution.
They truly loved to play rock'n'roll music as well as its roots, the band was very devoted to these things.
Thank you Jerry.

Pebble Factory

quite simply, any prison where inmates serve their sentences with "hard labor". It's a reference to "breaking rocks in the hot sun" as described in "I Fought the Law (And the Law Won)" by the Bobby Fuller Four or the Clash, depending on what generation you belong to.

David Do-No-Good got sentenced to 12 years at a pebble factory (along with other things) because he sexually molested his very young daughter. It's unbelievable why anyone would do such a horrible thing like that.

Zatso?

A slurrish contraction of 'Is that so'? Used more commonly in the eastern US states, particularly New York and the New England region. It's a bit on the sarcastic edge.

Donny: I'm the baddest smartest and best looking superstar in this school. Chicks dig me.
Eddie: Zatso?

reggae

quite simply, reggae is a soulful Carribean form of rock'n'roll. Inspired by American soul, ska, calypso and other Carribean music styles, reggae is usually in a laid back arrangement, relaxed and based on guitars. Reggae was invented in Jamaica but there are other performers in other countries that perform reggae. Many bands in various other rock styles have written reggae-influenced songs. Many reggae songs have scored international success over the past 25 years or so. Reggae is usually about island life, celebrating life in spite of poverty and oppression, sunshine, peace, racial equality, sometimes "ganja" and sometimes Rastafari.

Some world-wide reggae hits:

"Tomorrow People" - Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers
"Can You Be Loved" - Bob Marleyand the Wailers
"Bad Boys (Theme from COPS)" - Inner Circle
"Red Red Wine" - UB40
"Pass the Dutchie" - Musical Youth
"Smoke Two Joints" - the Togues (sp?)
"Electric Avenue" - Eddy Grant

and some reggae and reggae-inspired hits from artists in other genres:

"I Shot the Sheriff" - Eric Clapton
"Down Under" - Men at Work
"Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" - Culture Club
"The Tide is High" - Blondie
"Bobo Tempo" - Huey Lewis and the News
"Heart" - Nick Lowe

and many others, too numerous to list here.

Citroen

the ugliest car in the world, made in France. Popular in Europe.

On Highway 315 I saw a Citroen on the road. It was as ugly as hell.

I saw a Citroen in the automotive museum in Sparks, Nevada. A sign next to it proclaimed it as the "ugliest car in the world". I believe it.

Zip it!

a popular catch-all term first widely used by loudmouth TV show host Morton Downey Jr.. He was always popping off the chops about what he believed in and he frequently shoved his ideas on others and shouted down his rivals/opponents/adversaries/whatever by trying to have the last word on everything, name calling, interjecting put-downs, shooting his mouth off like a kid and often giving the final retort of "Zip it!". His show caused quite a stir in 1988 - 1989, it was what people in colleges and workplaces discussed a lot. The worse legacy from it all is that in the coming decade and into the 21st century a tidal wave of sensational journalism, obnoxious TV and radio dunderheads, stupid one track mind politicians and other cretins belching nerve gas, intolerant attitudes and hatred would pollute the media, government and entertainment worlds.

Most TV, radio, other forms of entertainment and political commentary is justegotistical trash. There's just a bunch of arrogant screechy foos who are rigid and not open to other ideas. They tell others to "Zip it!" or to "fuck yourself" like a certain Dick said to a Congress man all those years ago, and there is a stench of arrogant pushoverness, closed-mindedness and egos larger than the planet Jupiter (and that's HUGE, fellas! Over 1500 X larger than Earth). I wish people would zip it and listen to each other again. I wish there was respect for diverse ideas and such again. Everybody zip it. You don't have all the right answers to everything. Neither do I.

shit stories

stupid lies, rumors, gossip and made up stories that wusses and bullies tell themselves (and sometimes to others) in order to feel macho, 'informed' and powerful when in fact they are nothing but juvenile ignoramuses who go through life using 'big name' labels for other (different) people who have no idea what those words even mean. Shit stories are so ridiculous that nobody with any sense would believe them but these churlish idiots tell these things to themselves because they know they are losers.

1. Tom always shoots his mouth off in the locker room badmouthing football teams and rock groups that he knows nothing about. He always goes around telling shit stories about himself and he loves to put everyone else down. Everybody else in school is either a 'faggot', a 'nerd' or if it's a girl she's a 'bitch'. He's just a juvenile imbecile that nobody likes.
2. Donnie Douchebag Trump always talks shit stories about how women just love him, America loves him and now he says he's the 'chosen one'. He knows he's a jerk and in reality he cozies up to dictators and he loves to get his ass spanked by a ho.
