Click the picture to see an ad currently running in the local daily paper. I don’t know why Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead chose the name RatDog for his band, but the domain name rat-dog.com was registered six months before I bought DogRat.com in January, 2000. Some months after doing that, I received e-mail from a public relations firm in NYC asking to buy the name. I replied and said name a price, but I never heard back. Whether or not they may have been representing RatDog, I assume a certain percentage of hits my home page receives are from stoned Dead Heads who got it backwards.

Yes, that was The Dead. “Casey Jones.” I was never a big Dead fan, actually. I had the first collection of their songs, “Skeletons from the Closest,” and before that the “Live in Europe ’72” 3-disk LP.
“Driving that train, high on cocaine” …. or was that another group?
