Jerry Garcia: A Lifetime of Inspiration
David Gans, Dupree's Diamond News, November 1995
HALLOWEEN 1995, just before midnight. I don't have any poetry to offer here. I lost that facility long before Jerry Garcia's death. I know too much that's prosaic, unfortunate, unpleasant. I think I, and many others, had been mourning Jerry for years before he formalized his departure.
