He's Gone Lyrics

Lyric discussion by russell103 

Cover art for He's Gone lyrics by Grateful Dead

This song is about Ken Keasy...he was Bob Weirs roomate in San Francisco. He could drive a bus 50 miles an hour through San Francisco during rush hour. Skidding line. He could have 20 conversations with 20 people saved up and even after a year if he saw you, he\'d just continue on the last conversation you were having. Steal Your Face right off your head...Keasy was a TRIP, a SHAMON, an Asshole, and everyone loved him and his special powers only those touched by GOD seem have....he disappeared in the late 60s and was found in a ditch in Mexico long afterward.
