Van Morrison performing Into the Mystic live in the 70s is proof that real music never dies. It’s warm, timeless, spiritual, and somehow still better than most of what came after it.

Phish frontman Trey Anastasio has published a lengthy tribute to his longtime friend, Bob Weir, following news of his passing at the age of 78 on Saturday.

"Sad to hear that my friend Bobby has passed on. This one really hurts. I really loved him. He was a sweet, kind, gentle friend, and I never believed this would happen so soon.

"I knew Bobby for many years, but it was in the lead-up to Fare Thee Well that we really became close. I went out to his beach house, and we spent three nights there alone, just the two of us: playing guitar, cooking scrambled eggs, listening to records, working out, talking, and walking on the beach.  We went out to dinner together, and he let me drive his new car. That was also when I first met Tascha, whom I love so much. Tascha, my heart is with you, Monet and Chloe today.

"Bobby told me incredible stories about his life during those days at the beach house. He told me how he was still in high school when the first acid test happened. When it was over, the sun came out, and he had to do his math homework as he raced back to school on the train. He said after the second or third acid test, he looked down at his homework and said, 'Nah.' And that was it. The rest of his life was on the road, in the Grateful Dead and other bands.

"He told me stories about working on those classic Dead songs, what music the band was listening to as the songs were coming together. He said that when they were learning 'Uncle John's Band,' they were listening to the first CSN album and trying to harmonize like them. When they were learning 'Help on the Way,' they were trying to sound like the Mahavishnu Orchestra. I found all of that endlessly fascinating.

"Bobby was completely allergic to compliments in the most endearing way. I'd say, 'Man, that guitar riff you were doing on that song sounded really killer' and he'd respond, 'Well, I'm sure I'll fuck it up next time.' I loved that about him.

"The more I got to know Bobby, the more I liked him. I learned so much from him. He talked to me about all the loss around the Grateful Dead, so many friends who had died. He said that John Belushi was backstage at a Dead show the night before he died, looking very grey and unhealthy, and Bobby told him he might want to think about slowing down. I believe that all of that loss gave him a unique and beautiful perspective on life.

"Mostly, he just loved playing, and I loved that about him. I don't think he ever got caught up in the bigness. I don't think it meant anything to him. There were times when I was talking to him when I thought he was the last actual hippie. I remember when Mexico got canceled due to Covid, and he texted me, saying, 'Man, you should fly down here, and we'll just play on the beach, no stage!' That cracked me up. I almost did. Now I wish I had.

"The last time I saw Bobby was at Dead 60. We had a nice laugh backstage, then I went and hung out with him and his beautiful family on his bus. I could tell his health was not what it used to be.

"Rest in peace, Bobby. Thank you for all the gifts you brought into the world, and for all the love you gave to so many of us. Your spirit lives on forever. My heart is with Tascha and your beautiful daughters."

@RB_Mrs Listening to #unlapped . How much of all this nonsense about the swearing is being driven by religion? Or is that one more thing we can no longer talk about? #justsaying
