Fare You Well...

On Tuesday, over $1.1 million in Grateful Dead memorabilia was auctioned off at Bonhams & Butterfield auction house in San Francisco.

Some of the more notable items included: Jerry's 1975 Travis Bean guitar ($312,000), Jerry's flight case w/ guitar strings and picks ($16,800), one of Jerry's leather guitar straps (c. 1973) ($20,400), plus various photos, artwork, and other musical gear.

The items were owned by the late GD, Inc. President and former truck driver, Lawrence "Ram Rod" Shurtliff.

Oh, if I were a rich man...

"Oh, if I were a rich man..."

Good use of the conditional/subjunctive verb tense. Most people fuck that one up.
