Today's song: He's Gone. #- We've barely had a chance to process the passing of Bob Weir, but now I realize that for the core of the Grateful Dead are now gone too. #
- So I chose a song of the day that, to me, says goodbye to Ron McKernen, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Robert Hunter and now Bob Weir. The heart of the heart of gold band.#
- They were more than great live performers, culture hackers, they also represented a philosophy that's remarkably versatile. It applies to software and the web as well as the Dead lifestyle. Look for ways that entertain yourself and share it freely with everyone, see what happens. Kick back and let nature take it's course. We'll write and perform songs, and sooner than later, we'll be gone. But they told us not to mourn them, as they chose the name of their band. #
- There may be more to write, there certainly was in the days after Jerry's passing. But for now we'll just keep on truckin.#
