Summary: a review
Review: Entertaining and enlightning book.
The first part is mainly straitforward question and answer. The "stoned Sunday rap" is the heart and soul of the book. You feel as if your hanging out with Jerry, Mt. Girl and Charles Reich. Not really an interview but rather a group of people having a "stoned conversation". Some really interesting stuffCharles seems to have dropped all his inhibitions since the first interview and really opens up to Jerry it sometimes seems as though Jerry's interviewing Reich.The first interview has been Published in the book "Garcia by the editors of Rolling Stone", but the "stoned Sunday rap" makes this a must buy for any fan.

Summary: Wow
Review: This book really gives you insight into Jerry and the band. What they were really up to and how they looked at it. If you are a real fan of the band, then you will find confirmation of your deepest insights. Buy it and let Jerry blow your mind again.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: Wonderful! What a legend. Jerry Garcia is one of those people who can make a bad day good, just by reading his quotes, looking at his art or listing to his music. Thank you for the memories.

Summary: Wow
Review: Wow! Someone finally reissued this excellent book. First published by Straight Arrow Publishers, I bought my copy new back in '72 and read it often. It is a great interview with Garcia at a time when the Dead were just taking off. Garcia reveals he "has just made the commitment" to see where the music takes him, and as we all know, the band really went places. Hopefully, the current publishers have reissued it in its original form. The second part of the book, "A Stoned Sunday Rap," is a great piece that really gets to the heart and soul of the Dead experience, beyond the music. I've always admired the philosophy behind the music for its zen-like approach to life and living; Garcia and Reich tease out the details. A must-read for anyone who enjoys the Dead. Much better than any of the tell-alls that have been published recently.
