Jerry Garcia's birthday

today. he would have been 74 and still playing if not for too much drugs. gone but never forgotten.

 

The couple times I saw them in concert the show was at least as much in the audience as on stage.
Some of their songs really stick in my head. RIP Jerry.

 

Saw them in 73 at the Universal Amphitheater open air, when truckin was new.
Shit I am old

Has anyone really ever talked to anyone who was greatful to be dead? This being different than being greatful that there are some folks that we should be grateful they are dead.

Is there a relationship between "Keep on Truckin" and deadheading?

 

Deadheading is not exclusive to deadheads. Truckers love it..

IMO the best biker type channelers would be harleydoods lookin for the "lifestyle." Probably a website somewhere aboot all that..

 

I read once they came with the band name looking at a dictionary while tripping on acid.
Wonder who did their album cover and other art. Some of that is pretty cool too.
Imho they were as much folk music as rock.

First time I saw them was circa 1978 at a college basketball arena in Illinois.
Security tried to stop people from smoking weed by shining flashlights at them.
Boy, was that futile.
