Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 To All, Jerry Garcia was a diabetic, as Z'ev noted. He died in his sleep while trying, yet again, to clean up, as Cara noted. He was really trying because he was actually quite happy for the first time in many years. He died of heart failure due to years of heroin, tobacco, and other things. He was known to eat only ice cream for days on end. There are many good biographies but the best is simply called Garcia (I think) but the author is slipping my mind at the moment. I will try to remember and send it along. And yes, I am (was) a Deadhead. And proud of it. I spend more than 150 evening with Jerry between the Greatful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band and I sometimes still miss it, what a great experience and drugs were not necessary to enjoy the ride.....
