RELIGION JOURNALIST COMPOSES `Y2K' ANTHEM FOR DEADHEADS

SAN FRANCISCO (Wireless Flash) -- Grateful Dead fans now have a Y2K anthem to call their own, thanks to a religion journalist in San Francisco. Self-proclaimed Deadhead Don Lattin -- who covers the religion beat for the "San Francisco Chronicle" -- has just written a Y2K ditty for Deadheads called "Why 2YK" that's sung to the tune of "Iko Iko." Some of the lyrics in his millennium song include: "Don't you cry, child/ Don't you fret (Why 2Y 2YK)/ Can live without that internet/ (Why 2Y 2YK)/ What to do when it all fail (Why 2Y 2YK)/ Grab your pen, forget e-mail (Why 2Y 2YK)." Lattin describes the style of the doomsday ditty as "Apocalypso" -- a secular version of the apocalypse you can dance to.
