BS Pass - JGB - Fall 1993 - Slack Tour
A while back I posted the crew tour book for the fall 1993 JGB tour, the band's last. Since I love the look of these, I thought I'd add them to the mix. No idea who coined this the "Slack Tour", but the Paul Mavrides image is great and these are just good clean fun.

"BS" Pass, eh? Priceless! I can imagine Garcia enjoying the freewheeling surrealism of Subgenius, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI, too, very much enjoy the notion that Garcia might've been a card-carrying SubGenius. There's a photo of him carrying a SubGenius newsletter: https://twitter.com/bourgwick/status/910314526335172608
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, Ken Kesey's immortal book blurb for the Book of the SubGenius:
"I used to be able to read the word of "Bob" in a few minutes in the bathroom... now it takes me months to read the damned thing! But do you think that stops me? Hell no! I just stay in the bathroom longer! This is some of the best stuff I've read in 10 years. You want a testimonial? Look -- put any words in my mouth you want. No praise could be too lavish." -- Ken Kesey
Though by '93, not sure how much frop Jerry was still smoking...
Awesome! I may need to read up on The Church of the SubGenius. I am too square to even have been familiar with any of that until now.
