Song of the Day - Going Going Gone (Garcia Version)

"I've just reached a place 

Where the willow don't bend

There's not much more to be said 

It's the top of the end

I am going 

I am going 

I am gone..."

Song of the Day - Going Going Gone (1974)

"I been walking the road 

I been living on the edge

Now I've just got to go 

Before I get to the ledge

So I am going 

I am just going 

I am gone..."

Bob Dylan- A Hard Rains Gonna Fall (1963)

"Where have you been my darling young one..."

"I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it..."

MOST Powerful Quotes about the late, great Jerry Garica <3

“There’s no way to measure his greatness or magnitude as a person or as a player. He really had no equal. His playing was moody, awesome, sophisticated, hypnotic, and subtle. There’s no way to convey the loss.” - BOB DYLAN

“I feel your silent laughter at sentiments so bold, that date to step across the line to tell what must be told, so I’ll just say I love you, which I never said before, and let it go at that old friend the rest you may ignore.”- ROBERT HUNTER

“I see him in my dreams all the time. I hear him when I’m on stage. I would say I can’t talk to him, but I can. I don’t miss him. He’s here. He’s with me.” - BOB WEIR

“Jerry had this ineffable sweetness and vulnerability, even when he was playing his wildest up-in-the-spheres stuff. It’s something you don’t really see that often in musicians working in this field. We never really talked about this, because it was so obvious to all of us, but he knew he wasn’t making that music; it was like he was just up there quoting or transcribing what it was that was being given to him or coming through him, as we all were in the best moments. That’s the goal that we strive for, that we still strive for.” - PHIL LESH

“Where do you begin? There’s so much to say about him. He was a benign, lovable guy and he was also a magic man, a shaman. There was a feeling of going out in the world with kindness that Jerry represented. That shines through beyond all the other stuff.” - MICKEY HART

“Jerry was the best musician I ever played with. He was 100 percent music. Every pore, every bit of his body, every molecule, was music, whether he liked it or not. He was like a Mile Davis or a Coltrane or somebody like that – just completely locked into it. I always felt that I could hear in his music him talking about things at a much deeper level than what appeared on the surface. There aren’t many musicians who have that gift – to be really profound.” - BILL KREUTZMANN

“Something that immediately comes to mind when I think of Jerry is his almost total aversion to self-aggrandizement of any kind.”- GARY LAMBERT

1941 Born on this day, Robert Hunter, American lyricist, singer-songwriter and poet, best known for his work with the Grateful Dead and for collaborating with singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. An early friend of Jerry Garcia, they played together in bluegrass bands (such as the Tub Thumpers).

Now when all of the bandits that you turned your other cheek to

All lay down their bandanas and complain

And you want somebody you don't have to speak to

Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY

BOB DYLAN

Thank you for the music :)

"Instead of learning to live they are learning to die..."

Let Me Die In My Footsteps

Let me smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood!
