In remembrance of Jerry Garcia’s legacy, Gypsy Rose would like to share with you what The Grateful Dead means to us.
Gypsy Rose’s founder, John, started this crazy idea off on tour with The Grateful Dead. In 1985 in Hershey, Pa, at John’s first Grateful Dead show, he immediately knew that he belonged there. Or in his own words, “I found what I was looking for.” He would sell bajas and psychedelic shades at shows for enough money to get to the next gig. Not only was the energy from the music incredible, but the vibes of the people who were a part of the scene glowed with kindness and respect. John felt a strong connection between himself and the “dead head” scene. What ever chance he could get, he’d see The Grateful Dead. Even if that meant travelling up and down the East Coast. The Grateful Dead flowed throughout John’s life, especially when he decided to start his own retail/wholesale catalog. John couldn’t get enough of the music, the scene, and the vibes that The Grateful Dead inspired. He wanted to spread the kind spirited messages that they shared with their audiences each performance. John was dedicated to keeping peace, love, and unity alive in this ever changing world. And today, Gypsy Rose is the outcome of John’s devotion. When Further or the Grateful Dead cover bands come to play in John’s area, he attends their shows, while sharing the enjoyment with his 2 children.
The Grateful Dead touched all of our hearts in the best way possible, through the pleasure and connection of music. They have a song for every emotion of life, whether it be bliss, grief, joy, triumph.. Their music soothed our souls with sweet words of life’s love, hardships, and happiness. The Grateful Dead not only started a jam band revolution, but started a movement of kindness, peace, and understanding for all. Although Jerry has passed, their songs can still be heard ringing throughout music festivals and radios everywhere. The great vibes of the people who follow/followed The Grateful Dead are present today, and always will be. We couldn’t do what we do without The Grateful Dead, and we most certainly couldn’t do what we do without you!!! For that, We are forever Grateful! “God Bless The Grateful Dead!” They are not the best at what they do, they are the only ones that do what they do.
