Jonah Hill To Play Jerry Garcia In Martin Scorsese-Directed Grateful Dead Pic For Apple Personally, I’d prefer to see a Scorsese-directed documentary series, but this still got my attention. Link: https://deadline.com/2021...234875832/ | |

Like Jonah, but why not an Latin actor to play him? I got to see Jerry once in my teens I worked a club and he just jumped on stage with an artist. Not a fan of the music though. Just Music-No Categories-Enjoy It! | |

I’m intrigued by Grateful Dead’s music, but so far nothing has grabbed me yet. I’ll say that Jerry plays one of the most beautiful steel pedal guitar performances (check his performance in David Crosby’s debut album), in fact his playing was the main reason why I’m intrigued by their music. I know they’re beloved as musicians, but the cultish sentiments among his fans are such turn offs. | |

I suggest the albums “Workingman’s Dead” and “American Beauty”, 2 great albums from 1970 that sort of presage the Americana genre. As for the numerous live albums, the best in my view is 1971’s “Grateful Dead “ (also known as “Skull and Roses”) And as I said about Elvis: ignore all the bullshit around them and just enjoy the MUSIC #SOCIETYDEFINESU | |

Jimmy Page once said he actually prefers Garcia’s pedal steel work over his regular guitar playing #SOCIETYDEFINESU | |

Garcia was all European. Father's family descended from Spain, mother Irish and Swedish. So pretty darn white. | |

Yeah I don’t think Jerry identified as a person of color either | |
