Bob Weir, the singer, songwriter, guitarist and co-founder of the Grateful Dead who for decades was one of the driving forces behind the revered band and their legacy, has died at age 78 rollingstone.com/music/music…

Bob Weir. God, I love Bob Weir. This one really hurts. Bobby is a man beyond description. He was no regular rhythm guitarist. His playing was so stunningly unconventional and remarkably complex. He held the band together while giving everyone room to do their own thing -- all with his own flair and style. I love his music. Loved. Looks Like Rain. Weather Report Suite. Black Throated Wind. Lost Sailor, Saint of Circumstance. Mexicali Blues. Jack Straw. Sugar Magnolia. Cassidy. Music Never Stopped. Minglewood. Man, I love a good Minglewood. I have seen Bobby more times than I could possibly count. Ratdog, Dead and Company, Wolf Bros., the National Symphony Orchestra, the Phil/Bobby duo (with Trey at Radio City!) etc. etc. etc. In the last decade or so, I got to meet him a bunch of times. The first time I met him here in D.C. about a dozen years ago, he shook my hand and said to me, "So let me get this straight. You get paid to tweet about the Grateful Dead and politics?" I said it was a bit more complicated than that. What I am most thankful for is that, after Jerry died, Bobby kept the music going. I'll miss him a lot. I'll miss yelling "Bobby!" when he got on stage. I'll miss the "well, thanks" after a song. Bob Weir and the Grateful Dead are the soundtrack to my life. Heaven is getting a One More Saturday Night tonight with Jerry, Phil and Brent. Fare the well, Bobby. May the four winds blow you safely home.

Bob Weir was a true son of California who helped create the soundtrack of a generation. He was — and will always be — a king of psychedelic rock. Bob will be deeply missed, and his music will forever live on.

Tonight we will shine in tie-dye to honor the life and legacy of Bob Weir @GratefulDead

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. We send him off the way he sent so many of us on our way: with a farewell that isn’t an ending, but a blessing.  A reward for a life worth livin'. bobweir.net/bobby/ 📸 Chloe Weir
