Happy Birthday, Jerry!


Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia, 8/1/1942 - 8/9/1995

Sorry for the slow posting lately.  I'm having one hell of a fun time at work...ugh.

Anyway, the fat man would have started collecting Social Security today were it not for some non-traditional lifestyle choices he made along the way.

Jerry Garcia's music is missed by many, yours truly included.

I'd fallen off the wagon for a few months and had been digging into some other music, but as is usually the case, I wander back home eventually.  Today, I'll be listening to a crispy soundboard from the San Francisco New Year's run in 1983-84...one of my favorite show eras.

Below the setlist, I'll post up a nice "He's Gone" from the Europe 81 tour.

Would he really be getting social security, I thought he was a citizen of the UK?

Anyway thanks Jerry, for rotting the minds and ethics of entire generations with your rock and roll and satanism.. Just Kidding!
