Shine on You Crazy Diamond

I like the krishnas.  If you have been in the Gaslamp lately undoubtedly you have heard the jingle of the tambourines and the chant of the voices, and seen the dancing feet and twirling robes.  Maybe you laugh (I don't see how this is avoidable.)  Maybe you look away embarrassed for them, because never would you see yourself spinning like a top in the middle of G street (at least without several tabs of acid.) 

But I think Pink Floyd said it best "Shine On You Crazy Diamond."  You can never, and I mean never have enough comic relief.  Be it the chubby guy whose face hasn't seen a razor in 5 days and stands in front of the gogo dancers for 27 minutes staring, trying to think of the perfect line to use and sweep them off their feet, or the Jack Russel terrier who runs up to the robot guy and pees.  You can never have enough laughter.  So dance you crazy bastards, Dance.
