Today would be Jerry Garcia's 70th birthday. So I would like to take a moment in this column to wish him a happy one. Unfortunately, Jerry didn't live quite long enough to be here to celebrate. August 1, Jerry's birthday, through August 9, the date Jerry died, is affectionately known by deadheads as "Jerry Week." So today is the official beginning of Jerry week. I usually try to vacation during this time of the year. Shit why am I not on vacation?
A lot has been made of Jerry's inglorious final years with the Grateful Dead. 1990's Grateful Dead was not peak stuff. So just remember the great times you had with Jerry.
