RIP: Bob Weir Bobby & the Grateful Dead will always bring me some of my greatest memories of life & music. I met him in the late 1990s while I was in college. I was managing a Sunglass Hut when he walked in with his band, RatDog, to buy some shades. We struck up a casual conversation, & I had no idea who he was until I took his credit card. I told him how many incredible memories I had tied to his music. He smiled, said he was honored… and then casually offered me six floor seats & backstage passes to his show that night. He just had me write down my name & told me to go to will-call at the venue. That evening, I showed up with a few friends, rolling the dice & hoping my name would actually be on the list. Sure enough, it was. We ended up right next to the stage, & after the show, our names were on the list for backstage. We stood around for about an hour, drinking Sierra Nevada Pale Ales & hanging out with the band. What does all that say about the friendliness & humility of the man… Bobby Weir 🎶 🫡
my neighbors have more money than sense (my dad used to say that phrase) I’m sitting in my front porch drinking coffee & watching UberEats or whatever drivers delivering coffee & breakfast to multiple neighbors give me a fkn break!
