Well worth reading.


Btw I just read a 2009 thread in the Les Paul Forum about him. He allegedly said in an interview: "Concerning the future, Bob says he has no intention of slowing down. "This is what I'm here to do - What great musicians ever retire? As for the Dead, we're just going to play it by ear and see what happens. But RatDog is going to keep on going. It's not like being an athlete, where your career is over by 30. The music keeps me young. I don't feel old at all - except for maybe when I get out of bed in the morning!" Well, 13 years later the man is still doing his thing.
