Sounded really great on the Morning show at 9:45, preset: Gimme Shelter, with the fabulous Merry Clayton on backing vocals. Anyone have any memory of her solo take on that song? A friend swears it exists, but I haven't heard it in decades, if ever.


I know I heard it once or twice back in the day.  She probably made more $$$ from her cut on the Dirty Dancing sndtk than she did in the 25 years previous.

Alas my memory is spotty on the specifics of the machinations of Mrs. Garcia-Koons in the wake of her husband's death. I do remember something about her trying to cut Jerry's ex (Carolyn aka Mountain Girl) and his daughters out of the will. I'm pretty sure there were some other misdeeds as well, but not recalling the specifics at the moment. I imagine Geoff could fill in some on this, but given his affiliation with the GD community, I would not blame him at all if he preferred not to do so.

not much to add.  The trial was on Court  TV at the time I believe and was quite tawdry.  I know some people that swear Koons is a nice person, and I've never met her.  But I draw the line at not letting the image of Jerry mingle with the Dancing Bears!

wow, post-set and we're hearing... the Police!  Mark's observation is right on.  They must be THE fave band of the current target demo.

wow. three new hits from the album, plus three old hits (at least two that were revived: "be my baby" and "love is strange"). the 80's were THE decade for money-making soundtracks.

i would love to hear the blow monkeys version of "you don't own me."

Plus the Contours' "Do You Love Me", which actually charted as a single for a second life. They included it on the More Dirty Dancing album, one of the first times (I think; correct me someone) that a sndtk inspired a sequel.

I'll give you 3 more Frink points for that.

And now we are hearing Collective Soul, the song that they overplayed in the weeks preceeding their WingDing appearance, and which I have heard 10 times this month after a long (& mostly welcome) absence.

What the F*CK is up with that!?

From http://www.sfmission.com/famous/jerry_garcia.htm:

"Deborah Koons Garcia, who Jerry married on Valentine's Day 1994, came under intense media scrutiny when she contended that neither the marriage to Carolyn Adams nor the one paragraph separation agreement he signed with her were valid. The matter went to trial where the judge strongly disagreed and not only ordered the monthly $20,000-plus payments to Adams Garcia reinstated, he saddled Koons with court costs."

I also found mention of her restraining the surviving members of the band from using the word "grateful" in any of their ongoing projects. Sheesh.

My guess would be he's referring to "Better Now".
