At the time, 1972, it was epic to read, and it went on for pages and pages, comfortably read in the old Rolling Stone format, similar to a newspaper.

deja vu all over again....
WENNER:
What’s the scene with Pigpen now?
GARCIA:
He’s pretty sick. But he’s living. He was really, really extremely sick. I don’t really know how sick, because I never hung out at the hospital that much, although I did give him a pint of blood. We all did. He was really fucked up; his liver was full of holes and then he had some kind of perforated ulcer... just all kinds of bum trips from juicing all these years. And he’s a young dude, man, he’s only 26. I think he might even be younger than that.
From juicing! It’s incredible, but he survived it, and he isn’t dead. He survived it and now he’s got the option of being a juicer or not being a juicer. To be a juicer means to die, so now he’s being able to choose whether to live or die. And if I know Pigpen, he’ll choose to live. That’s pretty much where he’s at. For the time being he’s too sick, too weak to go on the road, and I wouldn’t want to expose him to that world. I don’t think it’s good for him at this point. It would be groovy if he could take as long as it takes to get him to feelin’ right, and then to work on his solo album, and get himself together in terms of becoming... it’s sorta like stepping out of the blues story, ‘cause Pigpen is a sort of guy whose like been a victim of the whole blues trip. It’s like Janis exactly, in which you must die. That’s what the script says. So Pigpen went up to the line, and he’s seen it now, so the question is how he’s going to choose.
