Jerry may be the Captain, and Robin Williams the King of Comedy, but Bob Weir is the King of Bad Jokes!
All Hail the King!
In my family we have a tradition of Bad Jokes, so when I (as a newly-minted Deadhead) learned that that was Bob Weir telling the Yellow Dog Story, he became my new Hero!
All hail the King of Bad Jokes, Groaners and Stupid little stories! All hail King Bob Weir!
And all hail the Kings (and Queen) of San Francisco Music, the Dead, the Airplane, David Crosby* and the original Quicksilver Messenger Service!
*See his first solo album and his singing on Paul Kantner and Grace Slick's Blows Against the Empire and Sunfighter, and many of his compositions at least starting with Triad in '68
(Yeah, LA's master of San Francisco Music! Thank you, LA, thank you San Francisco!)
