I was at Soldier Field '95 and I already stopped touring since '92 and a lot of Heads were saying this was the last of Jerry he's been back on the dope and he's not doing well. I was taken back because I had hopes of bringing my daughter to hear and see Jerry but she was just a newborn at the time. I thought back to all the good times growing up with the Dead and I realized how much respect I had for this artist that I wanted my 1st born to bear witness. Soon after he passed and I was in awe of that fate placed me that close to the last music leaving his hands. My daughter is a nurse in CA now and she recently sent me a pic of her walking away with the Shakedown Street dude patch on the back of her jean jacket.

Yea he smoked cigarettes and did his fair share of drugs over the years but that's not what killed him.....he wasn't some out of control drug addict. Some people think because they didn't have a preset concert that is was just good old fun jamming on stage but Jerry worked so hard as a musician and he was all business on stage where performing was his priority and his health was secondary. The stress of constant performing along with the traveling and not eating and sleeping well took its toll over time.

Jerry could have done anything he wanted. That's the difference between him and an out of control addict on the street. Jerry had resources readily available, the best $ can buy and the addict on the street has none. He chose to live the way he did because it was his idea of having 'fun'. The only time he attempts to get clean is when he doesn't want a wife to leave his side. Even the band couldn't get him to quit. He chose that lifestyle and that's hard for a lot of people to contend with.

I am not trying to be an apologist for irresponsible drug experimentation but Make no mistake: What killed Jerry Garcia was “cheeseburgers, French fries and milkshakes”. He simply struggled to “take care of his heart” from a lifestyle standpoint and he was physically more fragile than he probably thought. Being the leader of an enterprise that employed hundreds and brought about its own considerable pressures and stresses…his breezy interview persona notwithstanding. Also…because of Garcia’s physical appearance and cultural significance, he was incapable of going almost anywhere incognito. He was instantly recognizable to millions. Unlike someone like David Bowie who could donn sunglasses, a hat, boring normcore clothing and slip out for some Saturday morning shopping in SOHO, Garcia really stood out and was in a very real sense trapped by counterculture celebrity.
