Phil Lesh - The Godfather

Forums:

So it appears that Courtney Love is trying to find out if Phil Lesh is actually her godfather. It was something her father, who used to work for The Warlocks pre--Dead days and supposedly dosed her at age 4 (which might explain a few things), told her and she is trying to find out through John Mayer if it's true.

I thought it was pretty well known that Phil is Courtney Love's godfather?

I thought it was pretty well known that Hank Harrison exaggerated his position with the Grateful Dead and that the story of Courtney being on the back cover of AoxomoxoA was bullshit? 

Her mom still lives across town, has for decades...  

Despite all of Hank's hyperbole, and that the myth of Courtney being one of the kids on the back of Aoxomoxoa has been debunked, since Hank was Phil's roommate for a bit, it's entirely possible.  Why does she have to go through Mayer?  She should just go to TXR and ask him.

You think Mayer got with her? She prolly be willing.

 

she used to do rugs with a gal that worked here...

Pretty sure there's a Do Not Admit poster in the TXR parking kiosk.

Considering that a godfather is partly responsible for the spiritual upbringing of their sponsee, I can't blame Phil Lesh for keeping this on the down low. Pretty much an epic fail. 

I guess I never knew what a godfather’s responsibility was. So does the Dad do this to pawn off the spiritual stuff on someone else? I thought The Godfather was the one who got the kid if the parents died, OD’d, etc.

Was Phil when Courtney was born fit to give spiritual guidance? Wasn’t that the cocaine and Heineken era? 

I wouldn't be surprised if HH told her that he was, I'd be stunned if it were actually true. HH is kinda infamous for being a pathological liar.
