Jerry couldn't put down the needle.
Phil DID make it to a good age however.
In any case, this is kinda the end of "hippie".
The real 'hippies' were NOT a bad crowd - if a
bit misguided. Kinda 'artistic'. Alas they never
seemed to grasp that their "simple/free" existence
was 'parasitical' ... only sustained by leeching
on a larger, more successful, socioeconomic
paradigm. Hey, electric guitars just grow out of
the ground, right ? :-)
