Losing Bob Weir is another reminder that all of the founders of the electric rock generation are leaving us. Once they are all gone, it’s the end of the guys and girls that fought the good fight. Stood for something other than the almighty dollar. Stood up against war, against racism, against greed. The Dead drummer Micky Hart lived above me briefly as a kid. We reconnected in the late 70s and I sat onstage at MSG. There are no fans like Grateful Dead fans. I dedicate this post to not only Bob but you Deadheads out there. Bless you for loving the music.
As a kid from Queens New York, this one hurts.Never about technique for New York rock and rollers. It was always about the sound of the subway, the stinking overflowing garbage cans, the misfits of Times Square. The Dolls did it to perfection. Safe travels David Johansen.
@HelloImJamesMac Your loss.....and what f*cking wardrobe marque are you even talking about? Each band member travels with one case, myself included. Plus not great idea being a smart ass if you are looking to open for acts. We read, and we remember.
40 years ago today, this lil’ nugget was released. There are those times when the stars align I believe this was the case with this record. With the help of producer, Keith Forsey, engineers, Mike Frondelli, and Dave Wittman, drummer, Thommy Price, fist, Steve, Webster, and Judy Dozier, Billy, and I dreamed of what was truly possible in rock ‘n’ roll. oday, this lil’ nugget was released.

There were actually some quite interesting things left off the record… hint hint.
