August 9th happens every year
Well, yeah, it's always a sad day in a Dead Head's world, isn't it? Been thirteen years, hard to believe...
Rather than focus on that, let's just acknowledge the sadness and move on. What about the good parts?
The fun at the shows.
The friends made and experiences had.
The music itself...
And even though most of us had no personal, real-life connection to the band other than the music, how's about what we know about Jerry? The sharp, open mind. The complexities. The sense of humour. The love of music and disdain for sacred cows...
I think those attributes are summed up and reflected really well in this cover of Friend of the Devil by a band called Hot Ham & Cheese. It's true to the original but irreverent if only in its stylistic take. Jerry would have gotten a kick out of it don't you think?
Have a great weekend.
