No, the Frankenstein interview is

Hard to believe it's been almost 30 years... I feel like I was at RFK 3 weeks before he passed last summer

I'm making a reply to my own post cuz it's just easier. I took care of my wife who was bound to wheelchair cuz she couldn't breath enough to walk & she was dying of COPD. And for 3 years we were living on the street cuz I couldn't afford rent & pay for her medications too. At times we were able to afford a hotel room. Or spend nights at a hospital when it was cold. But she would ask me "Why do you stay with me?" And I would tell her, "I stay with you for the same reason I married you! I love you and I love being with you." After she passed away I had people tell me that they were surprised I stayed with her til she passed. And evidently those people didn't know anything about me. There is no way I would voluntarily leave my wife to die alone! I love her & she is dying. I can't imagine walking away from the woman I'm in love with cuz she is dying. Taking care of her and watching her waste away was hard. And taking care of her & being with her wasn't easy but I enjoyed being with her. Regardless of all the other stuff she isn't gone yet. And although living on the street & taking care of someone dying while being on the street was probably the hardest thing that I had ever done. NOW that she is gone, living without her is definitely the hardest thing I've ever had to do. While taking care of her in any situation, I would gladly trade for her not being here at all. But at least she doesn't have to suffer anymore. That is the only good thing that I can focus on. When she was first diagnosed as terminal, I didn't believe it. But then I began to believe that it was true. They said she had 2-6 years to live. She lived 5 years. So they were right. I really wish they had been wrong. But like I said. At least she doesn't have to suffer anymore.

This Christmas Eve it will be 9 years ago that she died. And I've been homeless again now for 3 years come Thanksgiving. The 3rd time in my life that I haven't had a home to go to. Kinda strange cuz I spent 2 years helping my parents build a home in South Carolina. But nothing is going to make me go back there again. Idk, something about that place isn't right. I believe something bad happened there and now somehow it's just not a good place. Cuz the bad keeps reoccurring or has found someway to keep making other bad things happen there. I've never felt that way about a place before. But I believe it is possible for a place to become "evil". It's like there is something there that can some how attach itself to people & cause bad things to happen to them. Although I can't say I've been to other places that are like that, I do think that it can happen. There is a spirit world that is next to this world. It is weird & strange. And so are those within it. And at times it can have influence in this world somehow. I don't know how or why but to be honest, It scares me. Yes, I believe in God! And a very strong belief in the power of God. Even though I'm not supposed to "fear evil." For example "the Lord's Prayer": Ya though I walk thru the valley of darkness I will fear no evil... IDK, evil still scares me. Cuz I don't understand it. It doesn't make sense to me because I understand love. And how you act when you love. But to have so much hatred that you want to be evil, I just can't imagine someone being so lost.

Oh. Him talking about music being emotional. And Jerry is the only musician that could very easily convey emotion just by playing his guitar. I mean other artists actually need the lyrics of a song to convey their emotions. Jerry could use the lyrics to convey emotion but he could just as easily convey that emotion with the notes he was playing on his guitar. I've seen a lot of really good guitarist in concert. Clapton, Page, Betts & Haynes, Houser, Medlock. And they all played really well, & played really good music. But none of them seemed to reach that level of play to where they made me feel emotional just from their guitar playing. Maybe Duane Alman playing "Soul Seranade" is about the only recording that has ever made me feel that way. Like Jerry could make me feel live. And a lot of recordings of Jerry don't have the same emotion as he could make you feel live. And I don't understand why a recording doesn't capture that emotional feeling even close to how strongly his live performances made me feel. But I still felt it.

I believe it was spring 1995.

Yes he didn't say "hip hop" wasn't music he said "rap" wasn't. I mean, I do realize & have heard rappers include music in their raps. And I think Jerry was just too busy making music for people to enjoy rather than exploring the difference of rap, hip hop, etc, or any of the other stuff that people listen to today. AND like he said, he didn't say it wasn't an art form either which if he had been asked "Do you think rap is an art?" I'm sure he would say "of course". But most "rap" that he had heard at that time didn't contain "music" as he understands it. It only had the beat of a synthesized drum beat. Which is like a poem with "meter." AND the IMHO the MOST IMPORTANT thing he said was right near the end when he said "music is emotional." And, I saw Jerry play a little more than 70x from 1988 to 1995. And the GREATEST THING ABOUT JERRY was his ability to make the audience feel whatever emotion he was trying to convey during whatever song he was playing at that time. And he was not only good at doing that, IMHO he was THE BEST I ever HEARD at doing that!! Up until Jerry died I always said(when people asked what was your favorite Dead concert?) My favorite Grateful Dead show is the next one coming! But now that he has passed away, I've got a lot of favorites. Most shows from 1972 thru 1977 were awesome. Then again I think about it and boom "I'm gone". There are so many Grateful Dead concerts that were recorded that I can still listen to shows that I have never heard. And I don't really have to search very long or hard to be able to find a show that I've never heard. And that is ultimately my goal! To listen to as many Grateful Dead concerts as I can before I die. But I'm not trying to get in a hurry doing so either. Cuz every time I listen to a show I haven't heard, I listen to it enough to get to know it before I move on. AND, it's a lot of fun too cuz lots of times you can hear them trying to play a song without playing it exactly how they played it the last time but still playing the same song. It is pretty cool to hear how certain songs evolve from how they first played them to what they would eventually become. Like "Greatest Story Ever Told". I use to listen to more modern versions of the song and never thought of it as one of my favs. BUT once I heard the version from 12-18-1973 It was like one of the best for the guitar licks & sound & like the smokinest version of that song I've ever heard. And it's just funny how my opinion of that song changed due to the difference in time of when they play it. Other older versions in '72 & '73 have been really good as well!
