I once read that in an interview Bob Weir noted that the songs opening chords are G-A-D-E-C Minor. Gadec Minor was the name of a girl Bob new well in Progue up until the Russians invaded Czeckoslovakia forcing him to leave the girl behind. Don't know if this is a 100% true but I love the imagery used by Barlow. The Dead were best to have some of the best story tellers between Barlow and Hunter to work with!!
I believe the GADEC part refers to the key changes in the song.
Which makes this line make more sense, because you say a song is written "IN" a certain key. So, written "IN" the letters of your name.

Okay, this is many years later after the OP, but I thought I'd set the record straight. Bobby Weir's comment about Gadec Minor was a complete goof. Members of the Dead were spoofing interview with Al Franken and Tom Davis.
