Quote of the Day

“It's not enough to be the best at what you do; you must be perceived as the only one who does what you do.”

- Jerry Garcia

Garcia struggled with diabetes and in 1986, went into a diabetic coma that nearly cost him his life. Although his overall health improved somewhat after that, he continued to struggle with obesity, smoking, and longstanding heroin and cocaine addictions. He was staying in a California drug rehabilitation facility when he died of a heart attack on August 9, 1995, at the age of 53. Too soon.
