Three of the Grateful Dead’s surviving members — Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart — who are grateful not to be dead
reunited for a February fundraiser for Obama in San Francisco, and Hart says it could happen again.
‘‘We’re not making plans, but I think we stand at the ready to be of service,’’ Hart says. ‘‘We’re all deeply into this, into Barack Obama and the thought of taking this country back in some shape or form, what’s left of it — it’s probably one thing we can all agree on! So, you bet, I would spend a night with my brothers for that any time, any place.’’
Hart says that he and the other Dead alumni have exchanged ‘‘a few friendly e-mails’’ about doing something more for the campaign, but no firm details have been set. ‘‘That’s all there really needs to be until the moment really comes,’’ he notes.
"Jerry Garcia won't be touring with us, but we'll make sure he's registered to vote."
Weir says the Dead men like Obama ‘‘for different reasons.’’
He's a Democrat from Chicago; of course the dead people vote for him, silly!
