Rock on the Block: Jerry Garcia’s Sink Could Be Yours

Jerrry Garcia’s toilet is long gone but you can still get your hands on his sink. Henry Koltys, the man who bought the late Grateful Dead frontman’s Marin County home ten years ago, is auctioning off the last of the house’s Garcia-used fixtures, including, yes, the kitchen sink. Koltys sold Garcia’s toilet last year for $2,500 in a similar auction; this year’s sale, which will take place on eBay August 12-19, will also include a Jacuzzi and stereo speakers, among other items. And in this case, shelling out big bucks for a dead rock star’s plumbing is actually like paying it foward: Profits from the sale go to charity.

Harry & Rock -
The two of you probably think that Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance are the best bands that ever existed. Nuff said.

I’m a huge dead fan but can’t imagine wanting Jerry’s kitchen sink.

Can you say necrophilia? Love the Dead, but this cult of personality crap never has a happy ending…

I’m 38 years old and I grew listening to REAL ROCK AND ROLL like Led Zeppelin, The Who. The Stones the Beatles. You know REAL ROCK; not that aimless wandering dirty bathwater acid jam fest, that has no point, and has about much balls as a Yugo in drag race! FUCK Jerry Garcia!– Rockbutterfly PS I’ve tripped Acid too; I guess I had a much more meaningful experience than becoming a sheep in the Cult of the GRATEFUL DEAD Church!

Bartholomew Billingsly who bought a Jerry Garcia toilet,at a Henry Kolty auction, was involved in 21 car collision on the Los Angeles Expressway. As he was heading home with his newly won prize, he stopped short because of traffic in front of him. The toilet bowl reportedly became airborn out of his back seat decapitating him. It then proceeded through his windshield and through a woman’s back window decapitating her as well. The woman was identified as Hedda Hopper. Hopper today was celebarting her 103rd birthday. She was on her way to her identical twin sister’s home for a bithday celebration. The two out of control cars went colliding with traffic ahead of them causing a major pile up of cars. The death toll is presently at 11. 19 people were also helicoptered out of the area as well and placed in a local hospital’s Intensive Care Unit. 3 people suffered strokes, 7 people had heart attacks and another 9 are in comas. A young boy was treated for minor injuries and released.

I thank my lucky stars that there are enough of us “Heads” out there that continue to properly educate our children on the acceptance of all music (the way Jerry did) and to make sure that Jerry and the Dead will never die. Because they truly are a “Heart of Gold Band” which is very sad to say you will never understand due to the negative attitude and narrow mind you carry. They are all about positive energy and expressing that through their music and teachings of how we all learn life’s lessons. Some hard, some not so hard, but still in all it molds us into who we are and how we live our lives. And because of that I know my children will grow up to be good people. They are learning the stories within their/his music, which in turn helps them to make right/good choices. And he might be gone in the physical sense but, as long as there are “Heads” out there, He/They will never die. And like it or not, we will be here for generations to come. We are all entitled to our own opinions but, I’m sure somewhere in your life, your mother has told you that if you have nothing nice to say…then don’t say anything at all. – “Dead-icated” Head.

Re: “I’m sure somewhere in your life, your mother has told you that if you have nothing nice to say…then don’t say anything at all.”

I disagree – if you have nothing “IMPORTANT” to say, then don’t say anything at all. It takes courage and guts to speak your own mind and stand up for your beliefs. People who always remain silent about everything are the ones who follow the sheep herds, because they are too afraid to speak up.

(or at the very least, if you don’t have anything informative or interesting to say, then don’t say anything at all)
