Jerry Garcia and deadhead age question

Are there any deadheads left? Are they heading the way of the dinosaurs? Regardless: Eyes of the World is still one heck of a song.

I went through a long period where I didn't listen to any of their albums but lately I've been playing them again. Great stuff.

29 years old.

There's some sort of GD and fishing connection, because working at a tackle shop, I've run into a LOT of deadheads.

Mike:
Great post.
Even though we have fished together and I ve shared my battle with the demon C, you never shared the whole story of Sheila and the Knocking on Heaven's door. Very touching story.

May she have peace and non-stop Greatful Dead tunes. I'm sure she's met Gerry by now.

I'll be back from the Left Coast about 2 AM tomorrow. Call ya Friday

I'm 32 and first fell in love with them when I was 12 thanks to MTV and Touch of Grey. There will never be another Grateful Dead (ed.). I spent alot of time over the last decasde at Phish shows, enjoying them, but always with some lamenting that it wasn't Jerry. Funny, today I past a truck with an outline of a steal your face on the back. Thought about how you don't see it much anymore. Although... my 17 yo brother in law has really gotten into the garcia/grisman stuff so the music will live on to some degree.
