miracle
n.— «A “miracle” in the parking lot parlance of jam band fans and Deadheads often refers to a ticket for that night’s show. It comes from a song written by Weir and Barlow, and you can find the chorus “I need a miracle” scribbled in dayglow markers on cardboard or sung out by someone looking to score a ticket.» —“Straight To Hell: The Death of an iPod” by Bodhi Shugenja Pogical Logitism and the Semiotic Shokgun Deluxe (Atlanta, Ga.)
