Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir formed The Grateful Dead in 1965. At this time The band fused elements of rock, folk, country, jazz, bluegrass, blues, gospel and psychedelic music. They were known for their endless jams and devoted but unwashed fans known as ‘Deadheads’. Garcia passed away in 1995 and Bob Weir has recently been touring with ‘Dead & Company’. Weir recruited John Mayer to play Jerry Garcia’s parts.

However Grateful Dead legend Jerry Garcia is apparently not too keen about Bob Weir’s pick to replace him. The spirit of Garcia has been visiting Weir every night at the stroke of midnight. Garcia’s ghost vows to return every night until Weir gets rid of Mayer. 

Weir commented “At first I was terrified, then I was happy to see my old friend. Of course I thought it was a crust of bread or an acid flash back. Unfortunately Jerry was mad as all heck at me. He said to me, how could I pick that little creep Mayer to replace him. Mayer goes against everything we stand for man. He’s a dimwitted corporate pop star.”

Bob continued, “On the first night, Jerry took me to visit Haight Ashbury, Woodstock, Altamont and all the good times we had together. The second night he took me to visit a John Mayer concert. The third night he took me to see my legacy if I don’t stop this Mayer nonsense. It wasn’t pretty.”

Weir declared that he has come to his senses and vows to get rid of Mayer immediately. “Maybe now Jerry can rest in peace. I see the error of my ways and will replace Mayer immediately with someone cool and shares our musical values. Jerry is always right.”
