Pretty stoked to be heading to Furthur Fest this weekend. Forecast looks good, the music should be great, and I'm all smiles.

If all you've got to live for is what you left behind . . . get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine

Not a lot of talent, but fans too stoned to discern.
First time I've seen the man be that wrong.

Jim's still mad because when we went to a Winterland show together in 75 he tried to pick up Donna Jean and it didn't pan out.
I ended up with Sugar Magnolia and he ended up with a toothless crone.

A box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through.
Bound to cover just a little more ground.

Went back for a little reread...
This stood out-
Thanks Ed Hartouni
I thought when he died that it was more from his hyperactivity then the drug abuse. He just "emptied the tank" and coasted to a stop, too exhausted to find a filling station."

Jerry died from drug abuse, poor diet and lack of exersize. Trying to sugarcoat it is pathetic.

jerry's soul was exhausted thru several mediums.
poor health was only one of those venues.
in respect for jerry's passage thru our space, and then away from our space, it is not pathetic to recognize the other, more romantic mediums thru which he escaped.
one of those being that he poured out his inspiration for so many years, and so intensely, that he simply spent his chi.
much like other artists who passed thru this life with the gas pedal pegged: hendrix, morrison, cobain, kerouac, bachar, porter, fowler, and many, many others.
to negatively summarize a respectful eulogy for someone's passing is pretty pathetic, tradman.

There is nothing romantic about a rock and roll heart attack. I have lost 2 of my friends this way and it sucks. One of the issues is that fans, in this case dead heads try to justify their own drug habits through their idols. The thing I heard the most when Jerry died was that he shouldn't have gone to rehab. Dude, rehab killed him. He should have kept partying man...
If a few of those people had caught the reality bug and and said to themselfs, Self, you need to clean up and take better care of yourself then Jerry's passing would have done some real good in this world.

Pate you are so full of sh#t again. WTF??
I NEVER said that jerry died of a drug overdose. You are one lying sack of shit!
I said "Jerry died from drug abuse, poor diet and lack of exersize."
Nothing in that statement indicates that it was an overdose.
A lifetime of poor diet and drug and alchohol abuse is what put him in the poor health situation that overcame him. The diabetes was a direct result of poor diet and exersise habbits and compounded by the drug use. That is simple fact.
Annother simple fact is that many dead heads blamed rehab for his death rather than confront the reality of the life decisions that lead to his poor health.

Jaybro, that would be very high praise indeed. Garcia was unbelievably active in music, he seemed to be everywhere, all the time, working on nearly every genre of popular music, even making some music genres popular. A brilliant and accomplished muscian.
I thought when he died that it was more from his hyperactivity then the drug abuse. He just "emptied the tank" and coasted to a stop, too exhausted to find a filling station.
Can't believe it started a minishitstorm. Oh yeah I can.

That is a beautiful post and I have no problem with it as such. It's a nice thing to say about a wonderfull artist.
Pate is still a liar and a bully.
