Jerry Garcia died a terminal junkie in a rehab in Marin where he had been re-cycled umpteen times. He was also a diabetic who didn't pay proper attention to his condition.

Still, he lived to be 53, which I suppose is survival for the rock 'n roll breed. Why he is deified either for music or anything else I don't understand. He was OK'ish, but participating in the Grateful Dead wandering psychedelic show was probably necessary to 'get it'.

What if THom Yorke wasn't a creep, and Beck and John Lennon weren't losers ?

What if Bowie and Mercury weren't under so much pressure.

What if Jimi didn't have to get thru cross town traffic to the other side of town (metaphor) ?

What if Clapton did deserve to be here in heaven.

What if time didn't love a hero ?

What if we couldn't be heroes ?

What if John Barleycorn didn't have to die ?

What if Charlie didn't steal the handle (and thus the train could have slowed down).

What if Nonook ate the yellow snow ?

What if ELP didn't just take a pebble ?

What if she wasn't buying a stairway to heaven ?

What if Bob didn't get tangled up in blue ?

This is too easy.

He had great tone and a great style. He was better with his Jerry Garcia Band than with the Grateful Dead. I'm glad he died before Trump came along. I would have hated for him to have crapped on his admiration and esteem I've held him and his abilities to over the years. I wish Roger Waters died 20 years ago as well. What a Royal Dick head he's turned out to be. I can't stand to hear a Pink Floyd song that he wrote and sang on.

Now, you've really gone too far! John Barleycorn MUST die.
