DogRat & RatDog
October 8th, 2006
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.

“Driving that train, high on cocaine” …. or was that another group?

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.
