Happy Jerry Garcia's Birthday!

Today is Jerry's 63rd birthday. I say "is" and not "would have been" because although he is not here in the literal sense, his spirit is and will always be very much alive in the minds and hearts of Hippies, Beatniks, Anarchists, Greens, and like minded free thinkers everywhere.

Next week Tuesday (August 9) will be ten years since he left his mortal body behind. The music has never stopped and it never will, not even when his original bandmates have all joined him in the Great Woodstock in the Sky. Somewhere the music of the Grateful Dead will continue to be played and the counterculture the band and its music are part of will continue to thrive.

And eventually the love we create will spread real peace and justice thoroughout the world.
