1. San Francisco
Jerry Garcia wanted me to write a story about him. That was the deal. I was managing this folksinger who needed heavy help in the studio. The folksinger had some tunes I thought he ought to record with a rock band and so I'd told him I'd get him a rock band. All I had to do was write a story about Jerry Garcia.
