St. Stephen Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Jerrybear 

Cover art for St. Stephen lyrics by Grateful Dead

This song may or may not be about Stephen Gaskin, a late sixties San Francisco counterculture figure who later moved (along with quite a few other hippies) to Tennessee where they founded the commune/intentional community called "The Farm" which still exists and where Stephen is still living. I have met him several times and nominated him to be the Green Party candidate for President in 2000.

@Jerrybear I think the song is obliquely about Stephen Stills
