RIP

 Sad to hear that Bob Weir, co-founder, with Jerry Garcia, of the Grateful Dead, has gone to join the great celestial jam session. There is now only one member of the original line-up alive – drummer Bill Kreutzmann, who will be 80 this year. Among other things, Weir co-wrote with lyricist Robert Hunter the jaunty love song 'Sugar Magnolia', which – fact fans – became the second most-played song of the Dead's live career (596 performances), behind only 'Me and My Uncle'...
