RIP Bob Weir
Hard to believe in some regards but he's always been very Zen about illness and being alive. Probably my most enjoyable live music experiences were following Ratdog on the 2002 and 2003 UK tours. So lowkey, such wonderful music, and at times, just standing there about 20 feet from Bobby effing Weir felt so bloody surreal. Great times. He will be much missed, but in some regards I do hope this marks the end of the Dead & Co gravy train (it probably won't). They were never much cop imho. Other projects, like his Wolf Bros were so much more interesting. Kicking myself for not going to the RAH last year, but there you go.
