Refresh my memory about the baser and Phil please. A Baser ran into him at a grocery store out where Phil lived and if I remember correctly said hey to Phil or you’re Phil Lesh but either way Phil says AAAAAANNNNNNDDD? and not like in a funny way. And walked off. |

Bobby mickey bill and trey had very kind words on socials I'd recommend checking.
Bobby and Bill both mentioned his attitude haha but let it pass because their legacy is so significant.

Please explain your.....pause.......... if it relates to my post... I think its a valid observation...He had no reason to be an asshole, yet on many many accounts he was... disappointing... You'd think after all he'd been through, he wouldve been grateful and nice, having been blessed with a new second half of his life with Cody's liver, alas |

Maybe I never paid attention but I never heard of him being a jerk. I’ve heard that he was opinionated and would argue with people but not like outright mean.

My understanding is Phil and Jill were quite prickly regarding business matters.
He was never gonna work for John Mayer, that's for f'in sure.

Today we lost a brother. Our hearts and love go out to Jill Lesh, Brian and Grahame. Phil Lesh was irreplaceable. In one note from the Phil Zone, you could hear and feel the world being born. His bass flowed like a river would flow. It went where the muse took it. He was an explorer of inner and outer space who just happened to play bass. He was a circumnavigator of formerly unknown musical worlds. And more.
We can count on the fingers of one hand the people we can say had as profound an influence on our development - in every sense. And there have been even less people who did so continuously over the decades and will continue to for as long as we live. What a gift he was for us. We won’t say he will be missed, as in any given moment, nothing we do will be without the lessons he taught us - and the lessons that are yet to come, as the conversations will go on.
Phil loved the Dead Heads and always kept them in his heart and mind. The thing is… Phil was so much more than a virtuoso bass player, a composer, a family man, a cultural icon...
There will be a lot of tributes, and they will all say important things. But for us, we’ve spent a lifetime making music with Phil Lesh and the music has a way of saying it all. So listen to the Grateful Dead and, in that way, we’ll all take a little bit of Phil with us, forever.
For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago…
- Mickey, Billy and Bobby

Profound, inventive, mystical and surreal.
This is like losing Jerry again
