jerry garcia's description of falling into a coma is amazing, though, & at least partly muppet-like: “the vegetable kingdom was speaking to me... in comic dialect in iambic pentameter. so there were these italian accents & german accents & it got to be this vast gabbling. potatoes & radishes & trees were all speaking to me. it finally just reached hysteria & that’s when I passed out and woke up in the hospital.” https://relix.com/articles/detail/jerry-speaks-pranksters-philosophers-portals/

@bourgwick@heads.social I had been at the last three shows of the east coast summer tour. And returned to CA and started getting ready to go to Ventura when I got a call from Steve Marcus (GDTS) telling me that the shows were cancelled because Jerry was sick and could I help spread the word so people didn’t end up in Ventura. When I asked for details about Jerry’s condition he told me to pray that Jerry got better.
