SIDE NOTES
- Bob Weir revealed that he’s prepping his autobiography. During a chat earlier this year with Relix, Weir explained that the book won’t be the typical type of memoir — but rather a full on multimedia project: “It became apparent to me that one also could present a book in that format and then leave it open to the addition of video clips, musical clips and audio clips. You could also have related chat rooms, discussions and stuff like that. The book could be constantly evolving, and if something occurred to me that I wanted to insert into the book, then I could also do that.”
