Hey, Garcia.
“Hey, man. What you’re doing? Riding the guys about selling out? You keep that up, man. You’re right, absolutely right.”
Well, thanks. I appreciate that.
“Corporate bullshit, man. Have no part of it, I say.”
Right on!
“Yeah!”
Whatcha doing?
“Shooting an advertisement.”
Gotcha.
“Making money isn’t a crime, y’know? Unless you’re robbing a bank, I guess.”
Then, it is.
“Or actually making the money.”
You’re talking about counterfeiting.
“I don’t know. Are we? Do you know a guy?”
…
“It’s charity or some bullshit. Little bit of publicity: gotta get your name out there if you wanna fill the dance floor, right?”
I guess.
“Sweet and pure Grateful Dead selling stuff like one of those regular bands. Can’t have that, can we?”
Harrumph.
“Do me a favor and grab me a pint of ice cream out of that freezer there?
Sure, which flavor?
“The flavor that proves the point I’m making.”
I see what you did.
“Yeah, you know: I’m Garcia, man.”
…
What is going on here again?
“One of those ads for the guitar magazines. They gimme like a dozen nice guitars, an envelope of cash: sweet deal. If it’s offered, you should take it without hesitation.”
You knew the photo shoot was today?
“Yeah, man. Of course.”
And you thought the shorts were the way to go?
“Parish!”
I’m going.
Ngl, if it was a corporation that maybe wasn’t a bank, I would be like, a little bit more okay w/this. But because it’s fuckin American Express it creeps me out.

Not gonna lie…….
“not gonna lie”
MM — Corporations are repositories of cash money, and are therefore banks. They handle it, manipulate it, spend it, hoard it, lend it, make more of it, etc. Corporations are banks. It’s the way of the world. Don’t let it creep you out.
Instead, hang with Randy Newman for a few minutes. You’ll feel better.

I don’t understand how the world works at all and I’d like to keep it that way. I can’t even put into my head how things and people can be so big. Corporations are just too much for me to understand. And insurance? How does that shit work? (I know basically how it works. I just don’t get how everything can be so big.)
My brain is little just like me.

Didn’t he also hawk Takamine, too? And the Furman amp ads he and Bobby did.
Were there some pedal and effect ads?
I believe so, I have a stash of ads somewhere…..
Break that shit out, brother.
I’m trying, I thought I had an ad for mutron. ………

Ugh. Crates were terrible. Bobby’s polite, though, so he probably took some amps to be nice.

ToTD has expressed dislike for the quiet one, so he may not want to watch.

Jerry Garcia working on a Levi’s commercial.” ?!?!?
What?
It’s uncanny how clearly I can hear Garcia’s voice in your writing. I really enjoy that, thank you!
ToTD also channels Pigpen with considerably high fidelity, imo.
The guys (& gal) with their feet still in this particular material plane, not so much. The authentic telepathy is missing. It’s like he’s making it up. I’m thinking there’s some sort of firewall in place.
Funny how Bobby was NEVER seen with a Crate amp ever and Garcia NEVER a Furman in site although he might have used a power conditioner or some other bullshit. Also, one of their hippy friends from back in the Alembic days started Furman so he had to help a brother out I guess.

Who needs Booby when you’ve got YNGWIE
I want to know how Bobby got that “mosquito in your ear drum” tone in the mid 80s? That shit was god aweful and I’m surprised Garcia put up with that nonsense.
