Saudades do baixo de Phil Lesh...

Ron Pigpen McKernan morreu há 53 anos...

     

Ronald Charles McKernan (San Bruno, California, September 8, 1945 – Corte Madera, California, March 8, 1973), known as Pigpen, was an American singer and musician. He was a founding member of the San Francisco band the Grateful Dead and played in the group from 1965 to 1972.

McKernan grew up heavily influenced by African-American music, particularly the blues, and enjoyed listening to his father's collection of records and taught himself how to play harmonica and piano. He began socializing around the San Francisco Bay Area, becoming friends with Jerry Garcia. After the pair had played in various folk and jug bands, McKernan suggested they form an electric group, which became the Grateful Dead. He was the band's original frontman as well as playing harmonica and electric organ, but Garcia and bassist Phil Lesh's influences on the band became increasingly stronger as they embraced psychedelic rock. McKernan struggled to keep up, causing the group to hire keyboardist Tom Constanten, with McKernan's contributions essentially limited to vocals, harmonica and percussion from November 1968 to January 1970. He continued to be a frontman in concert for some numbers, including covers of Bobby Bland's "Turn On Your Love Light" and the Rascals' "Good Lovin'".

Unlike the other members of the Grateful Dead, McKernan avoided psychedelic drugs, preferring to drink alcohol (namely whiskey and flavored fortified wine). By 1971, his health had been affected by alcoholism and liver damage and doctors advised him to stop touring. Following a four-month hiatus, he resumed touring with the group in December 1971 but was forced to retire from touring altogether in June 1972. McKernan was found dead of a gastrointestinal hemorrhage on March 8, 1973, aged 27, and is buried at Alta Mesa Memorial Park in Palo Alto.

Jerry Garcia morreu há trinta anos...

  

Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia (San Francisco, 1 de agosto de 1942 - Forest Knolls, California, 9 de agosto de 1995) foi guitarrista, vocalista e letrista da lendária banda de rock psicadélico Grateful Dead. Foi considerado o 46º melhor guitarrista de todos os tempos pela revista norte-americana Rolling Stone.

Jerry Garcia por vezes teve a saúde ameaçada por causa do seu peso instável, e, em 1986, entrou em coma diabético, que quase lhe custou a vida. Apesar da sua saúde ter melhorado após esses incidentes, ele também teve que lutar contra o vício do consumo de heroína e cocaína. Morreu em 1995 quando estava internado num centro de reabilitação para dependentes químicos na Califórnia, vítima de um ataque cardíaco. O seu corpo foi cremado e parte de suas cinzas espalhadas no Rio Ganges na Índia e a outra parte por baixo da Ponte Golden Gate, Califórnia no Estados Unidos. Desde então tornou-se uma figura muito respeitada na cultura musical americana.
