Millions and millions of people around the world would follow this musical leader where ever he went. People would hitchhike across the country for a chance to see him play. They would sleep outside, in cars, in vans, etc etc , all for a chance to see Jerry. One other thing.... He would not sell-out. You will never see a Grateful Dead song being used to get you to buy a car, a tv, a house, etc etc etc. He was asked by Senators to play concerts are told them no. He did things his way. Kudos to you Jerry. We miss you here in San Francisco and we will always love you and your music for eternity.

Hey Daima, funny you mention Jerry not selling out. Just wondering what you think about some of this stuff coming out now. Like the other day I saw Jerry Garcia Tea and wine. And the ties were cool at first, when it really was about him and his artwork, but now they're still coming out with new ones 11 years after his death. Pity how somebody who fought so hard not to sell out while he was alive is being sold out after his death.
