Remembering Bob Weir

from The UCR Podcast

UCR's Gary Graff joins Matt to reflect on the news of the passing of Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead. They dig into a number of topics including the many interesting layers of the Dead as a band, some of the things that influenced Bob as a player, the unexpected moment when the band had success with "Touch of Grey" in the '80s, thanks to radio and MTV -- and a song that's a polarizing moment in the catalog. Matt and Gary also talk about the fan culture, the gateways into the group's music, some notable covers and the inspiring work was doing with Don Was in the last years of his musical career.
