Dark Star reveals Jerry Garcia through the eyes of those closest to him: the ex-wives and lovers who lost him to the road, the close friends who watched him battle a long-running heroin habit, the children of fellow members of the Grateful Dead and the musicians who looked up to him as a guru. Together these voices present a striking portrait of a compelling artist - psychedelic guru, addict, outlaw, and rock"n"roll icon. Originally published in 1998, this title is now available for the first time in the United States.
