I still remember hearing the news of his death at my 17th birthday party. I never really came to appreciate him until the last 10 years.

RIP Jerry

No, they were British. He was in an American band called The Grateful Dead.

I never got into the Dead when I was younger, then I watched the documentary "Long Strange Trip" on Amazon a few weeks ago. Been exploring ever since.

Sat outside last weekend and jammed on Jerry Garcia Band tunes. They could do a cover pop song and groove the hell out of it.

None, but even Jeff Sessions would want to legalize it if he would sit and listen to the JGB for a while.

I remember it like it was yesterday.
I had a friend call. We had just seen them in Washington DC in June. I didn't believe it. There was always rumors.
She said, it's all over the news.
It sucked.

The guy responsible for some of my favorite lyrics
quote:


Like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in


and

quote:

Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind

Trouble ahead, Lady in red
Take my advice you'd be better off dead



But I have eclectic taste.

ETA: Should have said something more like "the person most associated with the band that gave us these great lyrics".
