Worst news I've heard today.

Bobby was the Mutha fuckin man!

About to crank Ace to maximum volume and remember his amazing guitar style.

Damn. What a long strange trip it’s been. Passing of a legend

Came as a shock, but not a surprise, yet I am really taken aback by where the world is, where I am, and how Jerry, Bob, and Phil are gone.

Losing Jerry was rough, but eventually I came to really appreciate what Phil and Bob where doing in Ratdog, Phil and Friends, Furhur.... but that too faded away. And now there is not going to be a direct connection to the past anymore.

Hunter, Barlow, Pig, Donna.

Who knew the drummers would outlive them all.

Enjoying a nice Ratdog Easy To Slip right now. Always loved that cover.

  3. No NSFW (pornographic) content
  4. No racist, sexist, bigoted or violent content
