Alrghty now class, It's Jerry Day, for Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia (August 1, 1942 – August 9, 1995), one of those who truly was a legend in his own time. A talented multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter who was comfortable in a great many genres. Merl Saunders (IIRC) said that it was amazing how, when confronted with any piece in any style, he always knew just what to play.

He will be celebrated on the Official (he would've loved that) Jerry Day celebration at some other time and place and perhaps here too (who knows), but this is the real mcCoy.

Oh, dear.

Does that mean that we're all on Jerry duty today? I get paid time off for that, and I should have put in for it...

Heh. Unfortunately, since Jerry Duty is strictly voluntary

@usefewersyllables @usefewersyllables

no time off is permitted. If, however, you sit at your desk blasting Live Dead over your workstation, you'll likely be sent home anyway, but without compensation.

be well and have a good one

Dmitry Medvedev does have a way with words.

There is very little nuance.

https://www.rt.com/russia/580604-medvedev-benefit-ukraine-reluctance-talks/

Kiev’s refusal to hold negotiations with Moscow has advantages, as it allows Russia to push on with accomplishing all of its military campaign goals in Ukraine, former President Dmitry Medvedev has said.

Writing on Telegram on Monday, Medvedev, who now serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, expressed delight that the “decaying corpse of Ukraine” is being led by servile and “corrupt hustlers and stoned clowns who pray for their Western masters.”

He went on to describe Kiev’s decision to “put forward an unviable ‘peace formula’ while rejecting all other options for holding negotiations with foam at the mouth” as “extremely beneficial.”

“All this will allow Russia to see the special military operation through to the very end. To the end of the Bandera regime. To the end of neo-Nazi ideology,” Medvedev said, referring to the notorious Ukrainian nationalist who collaborated with Germany during WWII.

According to the former president, Kiev’s policies will enable Moscow to eliminate all those “scumbags who brought death to many of their citizens for the sake of the money they stole from the West and in order to satisfy their malign ambitions.”

Thanks for the tunes, EL

Will pull out my Deadhead stuff for the day.
Currently been listening to the mid 60s LA phenom group Love, Forever Changes album.
They were direct competitors to early GD and the Byrds but failed to tour outside of California and never had a national or world presence.
