Look at a picture of yourself at 45 and then look at a picture of Jerry at 30. It was what it was. No one cared enough to stop it as the train was making money. Shit, Jerry wouldn't have stopped it himself. They all wanted the bus to keep moving.......
I bet Jerry was the guy who always borrowed a lighter but never gave it back.
Who's gonna' say to Jerry Garcia, "Hey man, can I have my lighter back?"
>>>does it not represent the dark underbelly of a "monster" we've all had a small hand in creating<<<
It was just a briefcase. He had to lug his shit around in something, just like we all do.
And I'll cop to being a small part of creating the monster that the Grateful Dead became, but in my personal, completely uneducated opinion, Jerry was a total "head"; a guy who simply loved to get high, and I don't think much would have changed with his lifestyle and choices over the years, even if he had never gotten past playing a banjo in bars.
Jerry loved to get high and he had no fear of experimentation, a combination that can lead to bad things, rock star or not.
^Well Jerry quit because of him being very sick and almost dying and felt ashamed for letting his friends and family down. What made him slip and fall back into it and who gave him it is a mystery to me. But my guess is the huge exposure he got after TOGrey and the continual growth of the scene and pressure Jerry felt made him escape back into that place where he numbed himself. Sad but c'est le vie.
And he was a full-on junkie long before TOG and the larger monetary success.
All of it is just conjecture from us on the outside, but I'm sticking with my personal conjecture that Jerry just loved to get high, and wasn't the type to say no to anything when offered.
We all know Jerry was a junkie since the 70's. My point is what made him slip back into that terrible lifestyle again and did some douche bag offer it to him or did he seek it out on his own. Which we'll never know. Yes Weir said Jerry liked to get high, but to the point of back to where he was before when he almost died? Just curious as to who or what made him choose that road again and I believe it was the extreme popularity and pressure he was under as God Jerry.He just escaped that BS with heavy shit.
Thom saw it opened up years ago, he posted the story a long time ago. I do remember he said that there were comic books and a bunch of random papers stuffed in there, probably some other stuff as well.
I will ALWAYS RESPECT Jerry and know that he got caught up in a poison that was spreading in those times. Somehow he succumbed to them and it took control of his life and soul. I believe he was a generous soul and kind person.
Ted Nugent thinks otherwise. But FUCK TED NUGENT!!!!
Drugs have killed tons of people. Elvis. Micheal Jackson. Marilyn Monroe. Judy Garland.......................................... Why is Jerry singled out?
Drugs did not kill Garcia. But he was an unelected spokesperson for the drug using population - so that's why everyone assumes drugs killed him.
The drugs didn't help him, they were a hindrance to his well being and getting and staying healthy. All those hours spent nodding out on the couch instead of seeing the cardiologist who would tell him point-blank you need to have bypass surgery or you're going to die. It was easier to stay zoned out on the couch. Fuck doctors, man.
Well, he died. The lack of medical attention to his heart disease is what killed him. The drugs didn't help, but the man lived on egg cream sodas and egg salad sandwiches (extra mayo) or cheeseburgers.
Both of Garcia's parents died young (dad- "drowning" mom- "car crash") - both of those events easily could have been cardiac events.
Ol' Garcia had bad genes, bad habits, and hated doctors. It's a miracle he lasted as long as he did. But it wasn't the heroin that killed him. If he'd gone to the doctor, had bypass surgery, changed his diet and lifestyle he may have lived long enough to od on fucking fentanyl just like Tom Petty did. THEN we could say that drugs killed him.
It's a not a very "rock and roll" exit to talk about degenerative heart disease and diabetes, but that's what it was. Much more exciting to talk about Betty Ford and Serenity Knolls, I understand.
Much more exciting to talk about heroin and nodding and missing notes and teleprompters instead of the "symptoms of diabetic neuropathy" - but google the latter, because that's what fucking happened. He could barely play guitar or breathe during the worst of it. But he kept at it. And I appreciated it, even if in retrospect I wish we could've traded tour or two for a heart bypass operation and recovery...it wasn't in these cards.
> a "monster" we've all had a small hand in creating
JG's choices made the monster, FOM. We just enabled him.<<<
I get it Mike, and that's the way I mostly look at things, but still ... when a cue ball slams into the eight ball - which then drops in the corner pocket; was it the cue ball or the cue stick that "made" the eight ball sink? Or, the food one ate to be able to stand at the pool table? Or, the ecosystem that supported the growth of the food? etc. etc.
The key to a proper egg cream is pouring the syrup over the back of the spoon, after the seltzer has been added to the milk, and gently stirring. That ensures that the foam will remain white. If the foam is brown, it's not a damn egg cream!
There were factions in GDP, including band members, that wanted to keep Garcia on the road, despite his poor health. They went so far as to basically, install a doctor that would give him a 'fit for work' pass every tour, and outed anyone who actually cared and thought Jerry should take a break. Garcia may have been the captain of his own ship, but it sounds like sometimes, the winds were blowing against him.
Great collection
Particularly like the one with the limousine and the last one in front of the helicopter.
Agree with the above that the subject would make an excellent band name
The notion that Garcia somehow died on the cross of the Grateful Dead, I've always found to be somewhat of a silly narrative. He was a big boy with a big brain and a big constitution. He knew what he was doing.
Even in those last 18 months, it wasn't like surgery and brisk morning walks around Mt Tam was going to save him. Dead man walking unfortunately. He kept going until the very end and perhaps that was the right call after all.
When I was in my teens I had an alligator make up case from my grandmother at one point I must've had 15 different marijuana's and seven different types of hash in there in film cans to be honest it was pretty impressive
I must've like drugs at that point in my life. I also had at least 20 pipes nursing homes brass sandstone clay, Water pipe just everything under the sun My "briefcase" was impressive
I pretty much stopped with the pot addiction on my oldest kids became five and three years old
Looks like the leather briefcase with the Bertha sticker was late 70s and the tweed one with the Persian stains came later. We need a website to delve into Jerry's drug transportation methods like we have for his guitars. Didn't Doug Irwin build a hidden compartment into Tiger to hide drugs in? Jerry took great caution with his drugs, other than getting careless with the Golden Gate Park bust.
Wherever that case is, the Persian stains must be preserved at all costs. Much like a classic unrestored car.
>> Didn't Doug Irwin build a hidden compartment into Tiger to hide drugs in?
Read in an interview with Irwin that there was a stashbox in the back of the guitar, with weed dust inside. I tend to doubt that story, as I'm not sure Jerry was worried about having or transporting his own weed stash. If he kept drugs in his guitar at all, my guess is that it wasn't weed...
I know Jerry hated going overseas since getting drugs through customs was a hassle. There's a story about Pete Townshend coming through in the clutch with pristine heroin when he joined them at Rockpalast in 1981.
Smuggling drugs in a guitar reminds me of customs finding a syringe in Bobby Keys' sax in Hawaii. Hilarious fucking story about how him and Keith got off scot free.
Wonder if they'll let Mayer use the briefcase like they did Wolf. It'd be a shame if that bad boy was custied up and used to carry $100 lip balm, hair & skin products, a couple $800 Dead shirts and a spare Rolex.
>>>>>Both of Garcia's parents died young (dad- "drowning" mom- "car crash") - both of those events easily could have been cardiac events.
Or not.
However, losing both parents, at age 5 and 28 (plus mom moved him to her parents shortly after his dad passed) prob. had a huge impact on Jerry's later bad habits, including the white and brown powders, as well as poor diet, lack of regular exercise, and CIGARETTES.
Most addicts, at least the ones I've known, become less likely to take care of themselves properly as they fall deeper into their substance or activity.

Or not.
However, losing both parents, at age 5 and 28 (plus mom moved him to her parents shortly after his dad passed) prob. had a huge impact on Jerry's later bad habits, including the white and brown powders, as well as poor diet, lack of regular exercise, and CIGARETTES.
Most addicts, at least the ones I've known, become less likely to take care of themselves properly as they fall deeper into their substance or activity.
