Jerry Garcia Dead at 53… Alive in new movie in 2011

The creative force of Jerry Garcia, who died in 1995, is being made into a movie for 2012.
One catch… there will be none of Jerry Garcia’s music or that of the Greatful Dead in the film.
Amir Bar-Lev will direct the film, based on Dark Star: An Oral Biography of Jerry Garcia by Robert Greenfield. Variety’s article includes a statement from Garcia’s estate:
“We want to make clear that neither Grateful Dead Productions nor the Jerry Garcia Family LLC are in any way working with – or are in any other way affiliated with – the supposed upcoming Amir Bar-Lev-directed biopic about Jerry Garcia. We will not be licensing any recordings from Grateful Dead or Jerry Garcia’s music library for this production, nor will we provide the producer/director with access to any Garcia family members.”

Steven Tylor Leaving Areosmith???
Filed Under (Uncategorized) by admin on 08-11-2009
 | Honestly, who cares?… But if the rumors are true, one of glam rock’s iconic juggernauts might be looking for another lead singer. Apparently, Tyler has dropped the bomb that he is leaving Aerosmith after 38 years to pursue his solo career. “Steven quit as far as I can tell,” Perry said from his Boston home. “I don’t know anymore than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.” Part of the problem, he says, is that Tyler doesn’t return his phone calls. Hopefully Hedwig of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”, the only other known transvestite rock and roller, can take the reins and help Aerosmith drull out another 38 years of uninspired, crap rock… |
