Jerry Garcia: Return of Midnight Frankenstein


Jerry Garcia : The Return of Midnight Frankenstein

     In a rare interview from beyond the grave, Jerry Garcia
meets up with Chief Crazy Captain Christo to discuss the building
of an amusement park named

MIDNIGHT FRANKENSTEIN

here in it’s entirety is the secret interview.  Enjoy

Jerry Garcia :  Yea Yea yea I remember it like it was yesterday man.
You were out in the audience at Irvine Meadows and I was sending
you these COSMIC cards of electric jolts of blind lightning.

CCCChristo: Yeah but there was this girl in front of me on the lawn
who was catching all the cards, so I never got the message of what
you were throwing down that night. 

Jerry Garcia:  Far out you did see those cards I was throwing. Cool!
So what is this I hear you are planning an Orange Race in 2012?

CCCChristo: Yeah, I am in the process of doing a thing with the National
Debt which by the way is hovering around 14 Trillion.

Jerry Garcia: Oh  yeah that thing. What a monster!

CCCChristo: The reason I called you here  Jerry was because I want to branch
out into the Amusement Park Industry to kick Disney’s ass from here to
Timbuctu.

Jerry Garcia: Well then, you will have had to have been born in a desert as Bob
Weir used to be so fond of singing.

CCCChristo: I was.

Jerry Garcia: OH ok you are the one ok yeah uh huh I get it now. You are the one.

CCCChristo: Yep!

Jerry Garcia: OK then here is what you need to do.  It seems to me you are going
about it a little too slowly.

CCCChristo: What do you mean?

Jerry Garcia: You got to go knock some heads around , especially that Rob Zombie,
he’s an angry little ogre isn’t he?  Now, I suppose instead of Dead Heads it would
be knock some Living Dead heads around. 

CCCChristo: I don’t know, 

Jerry Garcia:  Instead of putting out your lame videos on youtube, or contacting
an attorney for licensing, GET OUT THERE MAN!

CCCChristo: Are you saying what I think you are saying?

Jerry Garcia: Yeah GO KICK SOME ASS Mr. Midnight Frankenstein!!!

Just like Mary Shelley, Just like #FRANKENSTEIN, Clank your c... on Twitpic

CCCChristo: COOL, thanks Jerry.

Jerry Garcia: Hey Chief I got to ask you.  What does this have to do with the Great
Pumpkin?  Pigpen, who is sitting right next to me wants to know.

CCCChristo: Tell Pigpen, all will be revealed once the Amusement Park is complete
and I finish up with your story about the Holy Ghost.

Jerry Garcia: Holy Ghost, far out man!

Ron “Pigpen” McKernan: Pigpen's Pig's Kins

March 21st 2010
Barbecue Season - Let's Get Smokey! On the Grill! Marks, sets Go(::)
Author Christo Strom

Dedicated to my bro David and his family!

Ron “Pigpen” McKernan: Pigpen's Pig's Kins: Excerpt from the Great Pumpkin Letters

This is an actual copy of a letter that was burned in a fire that was never started

It is from Chief Crazy Captain Christo to R.P.M ( to be read only at a night time barbecue).

For those of you who don't know ,without Pigpen , there would be no Grateful Dead.

Or it would have been a ship without a Captain.

When Chief Crazy Captain Christo meets back up with Pigpen

Hey R.P.M.,

I never got to tell you how much I loved your band.

Well, Pigpen I am writing this with tears in my eyes.

I might need Linus' blanket to cover my red eyes so you can't see.

Oh what the Hell, I don't care let the whole world know that

my Tears are for Pig's in a Blanket.

Tell Loose Lucy that Cosmic Charlie is heading for the endzone

and Schroeder is now delivering Milk for a living Yep Milky Way

as I like to tease him.

Seriously, Pig I have one request for the man upstairs cause I know

You must be there. Tell him I know I have made my mistakes,

and my final request of a prayer would be this:

The only way I am going anywhere is to get this party started.

Meet me down in Omaha, Nebraska sometime in the future. You

will recognize me by a strange and magnificent smoke. I will be

surrounded by Twelve Webbers, Eleven Chefs and I will be organizing

my own Band. You should be able to see my One Man band with me playing

a DIME(Electric Razorback Explosion) store guitar rockin on a Half Pipe

skateboard ramp jammin out songs from the past as well as new un-re-hear-sed

tunes that have yet to be named.

Hope you can tell that I'm getting amped for the show down in O,NE.


Respectfully in Truth,


Chief Crazy Captain Christo


P.S. When I do meet back up with you Pig, if you don't mind bringing three

shots and shot glasses with you we'll recite the 23rd Psalm in the Valley of the

Shadows. Then and only then can I say “ Yup, Good Grief the Gangs All Here”

I don't know exactly when I will be there but tell ol FUMble Fingers that

I could use a little of da Vine intermission. Thanks a lot. Oh and One last thing

Pigpen before I go. What would you like for dessert? I'm working man on an

animal cracker whipped cream ala mode with the name Pig's Delight. What do

you think? Might as well cross that off my two DO lew list. Lightnin Smokestacks

gonna be my name....2019, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13,...
