- Interesting, considering that Jerry Garcia was (among his other accomplishments, such as portrait photography) a good graphic designer and is responsible for an extensive, and eye-catching, line of ties. You'd think Watkins would have a closetful - and would wear one every chance he got!

- Jerry was indeed a talented guy. But I don't think he wore a tie very often. Maybe as a headband.

I guess if you have to wear a tie, it might as well be a Garcia. (Better than a Limbaugh, right?)
