Hey Grateful Dead fans out there

I am curious to know what you think about the funeral today in San Francisco.

I was glad to see Mickey Hart and even John Mayer.

I thought Nancy Pelosi was a good speaker.

It was nice to know that Bob Weir was a Democratic for life.

All in all I thought it was pretty good.

May Bob Weir Rest In Peace!

The last 40 minutes or so but liked what I saw. Hopefully there's a recording where I can see the whole thing later.

His family was wonderful. Mickey and John and some video memorials were good.
I thought Nancy's and the mayor's speeches were too long.
I was aghast at Joan and moved by Wynonna.
It was a real good time and I think exactly what Bobby wanted.
