The outpouring of grief in the days that followed was incredible. I went to the Haight/GG park a couple of days after and there were just so many 1000's of people everywhere, who came together to collectively grieve. People made pilgrimages from everywhere, man.

I don't think the USA will ever see anything quite like that again where so many 1000's converge on 1 city to mourn the loss of a musical icon.

Wish I'd gone to the Wake at the Polo Fields but I IIRC I had to work that day.

Jerry, gone but not forgotten
