Wrote what I think is the greatest prog song ever recorded by a non-prog band.

Word!  Good call; probably my favorite Dead tune, and possibly my favorite Dead album.

Sad to hear; I have heard a bootleg clip of him actually singing the Uconn Fight Song on stage (he went to Uconn for a spell before moving out to California in late '59, early '60).   The dude lived a life; he was part of the group of test subjects in MKULTRA.
