Phil Lesh, (Grateful Dead bassist) interview on WMMR.

For you Deadheads out there. this is a good listen. Phil talks about his sons, the band's visit to the White house after being invited by President Obama, his relationship with Bob Dylan, his illness resulting in a liver transplant, why he does a donor rap after each of his shows which urges people to donate their organs, and his love for "Cody", the young man who donated his liver. Also, his memories of Jerry Garcia.

I'm still processing this man's death.

RIP, Reddy Kilowatt.

Turn your speakers up way loud, fast forward the video to about 12:20, wait about 8 seconds, and watch the dust fly off your walls. Phil's bass line into "The Other One".
