According to legend, back in 1968, Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh fired Bob Weir and Pigpen from their positions in the Grateful Dead. Or maybe it was that Garcia and Lesh tried to fire Weir and Pig… or they asked the band’s manager, Rock Scully, to fire those guys… anyway, long story short, the band failed to fire anybody. Pigpen died in 1973. Jerry passed in 1995. Lesh left us in 2024. Weir, meanwhile, was on stage at Golden Gate Park with Mickey Hart and John Mayer less than six months ago, celebrating 60 years of the Dead.
