going home, going home, by the waterside I will rest my bones

his deathday is in nine days, too

8/9/98 was a day i'll never forget

8998 is a nice end date.

7/31/2010 1:10:01 PM

was it '98? Wikipedia says '95

7/31/2010 1:16:03 PM

'95 sounds a tad bit early

iirc I was in high school so it was at least after '96, and actually '98 sounds exactly right

however, dead.net also says he died in '95

I'm getting old

8/9/98 was an amazing phish show with a terrapin station encore in tribute to jerry

I never knew he died on my birthday. Interesting

the only famous person I remember dying on my birthday is Bernie Mac

I GOT JERRY GARCIA IN A POUCH, MAN!

8/9/2010 2:44:21 PM

it was 1995. it was plebe summer at the academy - we were required to be able to report on 3 newspaper articles every morning at breakfast and speak on them for 3 mins each. when I was asked what I had read, I simply said "jerry bear's dead." i got the shit beat out of me for that stunt, but it was worth it
