I need a miracle every day not every 30 years. Sheesh!

Wait, Jerry Garcia used drugs? No way...

I’ll never forget in 1990 I was at a Los Angeles Denny’s getting out my car. I was approached by a 18 year old DEADHEAD asking for money. I talked to him for a couple minutes and he told me the for the last year he had been following the Grateful Dead around the country. His only source of money was begging. I felt sorry for him and then gave him $10. He didn’t even smell like weed like I expected! ;-)

I thought Phil Spector invented the “Wall of Sound”.

[when [Jerry] was smoking this pipe he was playing music at the time & that was where he was getting the spirit from]

OK....

We had a ton of bamboo in our neighborhood. Various diameters. Made dozens of bongs. We all did. I wonder if any of them have survived

Glass bowl?

[LRoggy]

What did they expect it to smell like? Prince Albert in a Can?

He was let out years ago . . .

“What a strange trip it’s been...”

I see you missed a word there. For Jerry, the ‘trip’ wasn’t that long. A human body can only take so much abuse.

Then there is the "Der Der" made from the cardboard tube inside of a paper towel roll. It's called a Der Der because when little kids get one of those tubes, they put it up to their mouth and say into it Der Der Der Der...

I'm sure he did after he got your $10.

"That looks like your typical Meerschaum Pipe. It’s more heat resistant than briar, with less risk of burnout."

Nope, look at the little crack at the point of the bottom of the bowl. It's a piece of an antler, deer or elk. Meerschaum doesn't crack. Antler does when it drys out.

[Flint]

And the stem is antler as well, just covered with leather.

[Flint]

I take that back about the stem, it’s wood. Took a closer look. And drilling a hole in a curved antler would be quite a trick. Knocking the pith out of a curved piece of tree branch that has a large pith would be fairly easy.

A friend once told me that the most disgusting things on earth are the Port-A-Potties at a Grateful Dead concert.

"The crude pipe looks like something a teen may have cobbled together at summer camp"

No it doesn't. If your teen is building something like this you will have some trouble ahead. Typical Rolling Stone BS writer trying to sound cool. This pipe is quite interesting.

[BrandtMichaels]

Huh, I never knew then center was called pith. As kids we called it tree marrow ~ as in like bone marrow.

I found my great grandfather’s tobacco pipe from 1890 And it still smells like tobacco too
