I was a freshman at Emory University when I first heard this song as my friend Jerry was playing it on the guitar in his dorm room...He always sang,
got 2 reasons why I cry, awake each lonely night…first one’s name sweet Emory, and she’s my heart’s delight
That is what I thought until today, some 40 years later... There is a Thank you Jerry concert on axsTV and I saw in the subtitles, it’s really Anna Marie, not Emory….
At school, I hung out with a bunch of Deadheads, and a love for this band is probably the most meaningful thing I got from my college education that has remained with me to this day…
The Dead’s music is full of disjointed lyrics, that don’t seem to mean anything. Yet there is very powerful imagery in few words. And the music is the vehicle which the words ride upon, sometimes senseless, yet perfect in the spinning, psychedelic musical place that is a Grateful Dead concert….
