Isn't there an early El Paso

Isn't there an early El Paso where Garcia says something like "This is where Weir makes us all suffer."

^ pretty hilarious

^ pretty hilarious, Jerry was one funny fella

How about the time an interviewer tells Jerry about what Hunter said was the meaning behind one of songs he wrote, I forget which one. And Jerry replies something to the effect of " no it isn't, its about yada yada yada, I forget his exact interpretation but it was pretty funny nonetheless.

I seem to recall an interview somewhere where Jerry said he thought El Paso was a god-awful song.

How did a nice Jewish boy

How did a nice Jewish boy like Marty Robbins end up writing so many amazing cowboy and country western songs? El Paso is great but my favorite is Big Iron. Always wished the Grateful Dead did it. Would have loved to have heard Jerry's take.
