Still remember when I heard the news. I got home from work, didn't know what to do, so I went over to my local park in Queens. Just hung out with other Deadheads listening to tunes and talking about past shows.
Recently watched the Dead movie on WMHT (PBS) out of Albany. They always play the movie at pledge time. It never gets old. Still get the warm fuzzies when I see it.
For those that forgot, his birthday was August 1.

Better watch out for those fans who follow radical Elvisism. We could have violent musical terrorists in our midst.Dr Z wrote:To those people it is Mecca!

You obviously have no idea what Elvis accomplished.Jodi wrote:
If it has to be explained to you, you wouldn't understand it. I still don't understand it. Nothing personal, I promise. Jerry touched people in ways Elvis never could have. Again, I can't explain it, it just is.

Tread lightly here. She still reads the forum even if she doesn't post here anymore.
Also, you're replying to a 2 year old post.
The first difference I think of is that Garcia wrote his own songs (with Hunter to be exact). Elvis was just the voice and looks for someone else's creativity.junior wrote:Vinny Vincenzo wrote:You obviously have no idea what Elvis accomplished.Jodi wrote:
