Too little for the title,
By green tea (Manila, Phliippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wisdom of Jerry Garcia: As Collected from Interviews (Paperback)
This book does contain a few nuggets, but falls severely short of Jerry's wisdom. Most of the one-liners are catchy, sometimes introspective, sometimes humorous, but for those who have not read enough interviews with the man, to take this little book as a summation of the man's wisdom would be folly. Jerry had so much more to say (and he did) about things like life than this book contains. Someone who doesn't know any better and bases his/her opinion of the man's influence on millions of lives on this book will end up being disappointed and ultimately dismissive of the man's greatness. For true insights into the man's wisdom, read his interviews! Read "Garcia" by the editors of Rolling Stone! Please! and besides, i don't believe this book was cooked up by David Gans. Too bad I can't really check the book itself since I'm away from home, but I trust that David Gans would not be so careless.

It was one of the best Grateful Dead books I have read!,
By tmmurphy@concentric.net (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wisdom of Jerry Garcia: As Collected from Interviews (Paperback)
When I read this book it helped me think in the point of view that Jerry was thinking, about the good and bad times, on and off stage. In the book he'll tell it like it is, about the way he precives life. Reading the book also improved the way I precieve life!

Great book. It is short and to the point (each page has a different quote) and has nice large print.
