Candid Interview


This is one of the few candid interviews with Jerry. It is from 1981, and is hilarious. Jerry is surprisingly very nice, as he and the interview people smoke some pot, and Jerry gets a phone call. Pretty funny.

  1. Scott, you wrote that Garcia is "surprisingly very nice." Did he have a reputation of being an asshole? I've never heard that before. Curious... you'd know better than I would.

  2. Jeff, this is a good point. I should have explained this further. Jerry was not an asshole, but he was not one to typically mingle with fans. Especially during this period, he was more concerned with smoking persian and watching TV

  3. "...he was more concerned with smoking persian and watching TV."

    Makes sense. That's my Saturday night, in a nutshell.

  4. Me too. Although, like Garcia, I don't mind mixing a little freebase in there.
