on yesterday’s Tales From The Golden Road show there was a caller who taught a course on the Dead at Duke, and he and his wife were at an event with Phil for one of Phil’s foundations. His wife, who was not a big Deadhead, apparently asked Phil about why so many of the Dead’s fans took drugs, and Phil replied thusly:
“What did the Deadhead say when he ran out of weed? A: What is this shitty music?”
As they said on the show, it’s a perfect demonstration of Phil’s (and the whole band’s) self-effacing, not-taking-yourself-too-seriously, humble attitude about their success. We shan’t see his like again…
. I case you don't know.
This song will be play at my funeral.
“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix
Also, Phil would like to simply ask that you turn to someone you love, and who loves you, and let them know that if anything happens to you, that you’d like to be an Organ Donor.
