RIP Bob Weir

Sad news, but not surprising news. Lone Star Parson: Bob Weir's Dead

Bob Weir was a founding member of The Grateful Dead. When they broke up in 1995, he was part of the group The Other Ones (later The Dead) comprised of members of The Greatful Dead. And he performed with more groups and individual artists.

Wow, at 78, and what can I say? Rest in peace Mr. Weir, and may your purgatory not involve those awful shorts you were so fond of. Yes, it's a journey in holiness, pierced through with cleansing fire. Spiritual journey aside, how could anyone, much less "Bob," play alongside Garcia? Good question.

Click thru for "Looks Like Rain" by Bob Weir from his first solo album, Ace, which was released in 1972.

This is “Truckin'” by the Grateful Dead from their 1970 album American Beauty. Bob Weir is providing lead vocals on this song.
