A link encountered recently in other reading led me to this obituary in The Times’s archive. You will discern from the excerpts what left me biting a grin. (Respect and love for the memory of Jerry Garcia. He would’ve grinned too.)
Excerpt from the article:
From the beginning, when the band was financed by the LSD chemist Stanley Owsley, the Dead were known for the latest in sound systems as well as for their music.
The correction:
A correction was made on Aug. 12, 1995: An obituary of Jerry Garcia on Thursday reversed the names of an early financial backer of his band, the Grateful Dead. The backer was Owsley Stanley.
(Jon Pareles, “Jerry Garcia of Grateful Dead, Icon of 60’s Spirit, Dies at 53,” New York Times, 8-10-95).
