I wrote about a camp, 27 girls who drowned due to astonishing failures to plan, and hundreds of families going back anyway.

"Early on in our collaboration, I remember him calling to ask if I could cover his fugue-like guitar part on 'China Cat Sunflower.' When the tune was originally penned, Garcia sang and Bobby noodled around Jerry’s pentatonic bounce. It only made sense that Bob would need that part played by someone else, now that he was holding it down on lead vocals.

'Got ya covered,' I answered, eagerly. Bob’s guitar part was still ringing in my ears from basement jams in high school — seemed like an old friend to me. The beautiful part of this is Bob never acted like I should know it — he was just happy to share it with me. In other words, a fuckin’ mensch."

Josh Kaufman of Bonny Light Horseman has penned an ode to his friend @BobWeir in our latest issue.

I know I'm not the only one who has fatasized over the years about what if Washington had a tabloid. Since we don't, I'm going to start imagining how one would play the news. Starting with today's (which you can hear us talk about on @CityCast_DC here: https://t.co/uDziVvzYjE)

RT @AshleyRParker: We are witnessing a murder at The Washington Post. This massacre will be the enduring legacy of Jeff Bezos and Will Lewi…

I can count on one hand the number of written works that have made me cry, and this essay is among them https://t.co/gkFYldwss9

[Katie Robertson @katie_robertson]

The juxtaposition of the Nuzzi/Lizza/Bobby Kennedy circus and this absolutely heart-wrenching essay from Kennedy's cousin, Tatiana Schlossberg, is pretty profound https://t.co/9cxENedIX2

[Michael Roston @michaelroston]

Anyone who has ever met Tatiana Schlossberg knows what a generous person she is and you can't write something like this without a spirit that remains so persistently generous in the face of everything https://t.co/rrbaDeADGT
