A Tie-Dye Version of Jerry Garcia's Legacy?
To the Editor: Re 'We Could Use More of Jerry Garcia's Politics,' by Jim Newton (Opinion guest essay, July 24): Mr. Newton suggests that Jerry Garcia's musical artistry offers a model of living apart from the world rather than trying to change it by engaging in political life. But this oversimplifies the relationship between Mr. Garcia and his audience. Mr. Newton says Mr. Garcia's music was 'an exploration of what it means to be free.' For some Deadheads that does mean attempting a life with minimal connection to government. Many others, though, find the same music encouraging political action. They see that every work of art rejecting or ignoring societal norms is inherently an act of resistance, because it encourages its audience to break free from those norms and the government that upholds them. Politically engaged Deadheads note that Mr. Garcia rarely played solo. He knew he was best as part of a group — a community in which each member was free, but always carefully attending to, respecting and responding to all the other members of the community. He knew that only this kind of communal relationship could safeguard and enhance the freedom of each individual. Mr. Garcia's music, especially as part of the Grateful Dead, communicated that message to his audiences. Many of us find it a powerful model for the kind of society we hope to live in and for the values we want government to enact. His sheer energy still moves us to keep on keeping on. Ira ChernusLongmont, Colo. To the Editor: Jerry Garcia was one of the greatest improvisational musicians of our time. He was, in my opinion, up there with Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. When we celebrate his justly enduring legacy, that's what we should focus on — not his 'political legacy.' The notion of Jerry Garcia as a hippie avatar after the mid-'70s is absurd. Jerry designed ties, for gosh sakes. His family sells everything Jerry-related on a website today. He was, in his own way, a capitalist. That he 'exercised freedom rather than waiting on the government to grant it' is hardly distinctive to any great artist. But his solo on 'Morning Dew' at Cornell '77 — that was distinctive. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

The HORI Piranha Plant camera for Switch 2 is on sale for only $40
Even though the Switch 2 basically just came out, we're already starting to see discounts on some of its accessories. One of the more charming peripherals, the HORI Piranha Plant camera, is on sale right now for only $40. That's $20 off and a record-low price. It's a good deal for anyone who wants to take advantage of the Switch 2's camera functionality in games like Mario Kart World and that recently-released campfire sim. This was designed specifically for Nintendo's new console, so it's a plug-and-play affair. It's actually cheaper than the official Switch 2 camera with this sale and it looks a whole lot cooler. It's a Piranha Plant from the Mario franchise. We called it a "work of art" upon encountering the device and that holds true today. This is 33 percent off and a record-low price. $40 at Amazon This thing is not only stylish, resembling an Amiibo more than a camera, but it's downright useful. The pot the Piranha Plant sits in functions as both a stand and USB extension for the device. The plant itself detaches from the pot, so the camera can be used in portable mode by popping it into the USB port at the top of the console. There's also a built-in privacy shutter. Just close the plant's mouth to obscure the lens. The actual camera specs here aren't going to win any awards, with a frame rate of 30FPS and a resolution of 640 x 480p. However, that's more than enough to capture footage of your floating head to accompany your kart as it races through the Mushroom Kingdom.

Photos: Dead & Company's second night in S.F. unites generations of Deadheads
If the first night of Dead & Company's Golden Gate Park residency celebrated legacy, the second night showcased its endurance — across generations, families and time itself. What became unmistakably clear on Saturday, Aug. 2, was how deeply intergenerational the Grateful Dead 's following has become. Some 60,000 fans once again packed the Polo Field for the second of three concerts marking the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary. Teenagers danced beside their parents. Grandparents clapped along with toddlers. Some attendees had seen guitarist Jerry Garcia perform live with the band in the 1960s. Others were born years after he died in 1995. 'My parents are a total big influence for all the good music I listen to,' said Siren Talbot, 19, of Grass Valley, who attended the show with her parents. 'It's definitely a reflection of just spending time together and listening and hanging out in the backyard.' Long before the band took the stage, the field buzzed with activity. Veteran Deadheads roamed the edges of the crowd handing out homemade stickers and swapping stories. Others stretched out on picnic blankets under the evening sky. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie took the stage to introduce the first set shortly after 6:15 p.m. — and to acknowledge the moment's emotional weight. 'Listen, what you all have brought to our city over the last week and here tonight — you've brought joy, you've brought energy, you've brought love,' Lurie, clad in a tie-dye T-shirt, told the crowd. 'It's just what San Francisco needed.' Then, with his hand over his heart and the crowd roaring, he added: 'I am the mayor of the greatest city in the world, and it is my privilege to welcome Dead & Company.' Up front, the energy was high — swirling, packed and kinetic — as fans rushed to grab refreshments just as the music began. The band — featuring Grateful Dead co-founder Bob Weir and drummer Mickey Hart, alongside guitarist and vocalist John Mayer, bassist Oteil Burbridge, keyboardist Jeff Chimenti, and drummer Jay Lane — was more vibrant and cohesive than it had been on opening night. They kicked off with a tight, groove-heavy take on 'In the Midnight Hour,' setting a festive tone before launching into a rollicking 'Bertha' and a twangy 'Jack Straw' featuring a sunny tease of the Allman Brothers' 'Blue Sky.' A soulful 'Dear Mr. Fantasy' melted into the coda of 'Hey Jude,' followed by a punchy 'Passenger' and the crowd-pleasing 'Brown-Eyed Women.' The first set closed on a high, emotional note with a powerful rendition of 'Morning Dew,' featuring a guest appearance by country singer and opening act Sturgill Simpson. The second set leaned fully into the Dead's psychedelic roots. 'Uncle John's Band' opened with an unexpected jam on 'The Other One,' leading into the classic 'Help > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower' suite, complete with playful teases of 'Ghostbusters' and 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.' Grahame Lesh retuned to join the band for 'St. Stephen,' which nodded to 'The Eleven' before giving way to a hypnotic 'Drums' and 'Space' sequence, laced with a tease of Pink Floyd's 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond.' Momentum continued to build with 'Spanish Jam' and a stirring 'Days Between,' before the band launched into a late-set 'Truckin',' featuring a jazzy nod to Miles Davis' 'All Blues.' The evening wrapped with a raucous 'Cold Rain and Snow' and a tender, harmony-laced 'Brokedown Palace.' Between sets, the stage screens lit up with archival interviews from Grateful Dead members, grounding the present-day crowd in the band's original spirit. Late bassist Phil Lesh described Dead shows as places to 'test your limits' and 'experience a little danger' in a warm, welcoming space. 'The Grateful Dead show is a perfect place to do that,' he said. Reflecting on the venue, Weir added simply: 'It just feels right to go back to the park there and play for folks and just have a musical ball.' That spirit — of gathering, improvising, and sharing — was alive and well among the thousands who came not just for the music, but for the sense of belonging it brings. 'My dad and my mom have been taking me to Dead & Company shows since I was 3,' said Coral Mines, 16, from Trinity County. 'It's so life-changing to have that experience when you grow up. The music is peaceful. It's just such a vibe.' Eric Dugoni, 28, of Napa, said he's been to nearly 20 shows with his father. 'Last night was actually the first one without him,' Dugoni said. 'He would've been here, but he's hiking in Canada with his siblings. Still, I wore his old shirt. We've always connected through the music.' Some, like Ever Epshaw, now bring their own children. 'Last night I was with my daughter. She's 22, and he's 14,' said Epshaw, in his 50s. 'There were grandparents dancing everywhere — people with their kids, little kids, everyone just having fun.' Dead & Company may have concluded its so-called 'final tour' in 2023, but if this weekend is any indication, the music — and the culture built around it — shows no signs of fading. 'I wish more of my friends would come with me,' Mines said. Chronicle staff writer Anna Connors contributed to this report.
