is this his real finger?

[ebick]

ummmmmmm.......no.

For one thing, he lost his finger as a child, and that was clearly an adult finger.

No, that was simply the old finger-in-the-box trick.

"[Jerry's kids] is the most important thing in my life besides polo and breeding race horses"

Priceless.

yeah that looked like a thumb

[shakedown_04092]

It was his finger, you could see it move in the video

[ker1227]

the funny thing is, say he lost his finger in 75, you know that someone would want to buy it. After all someone bought his toilet/seat!

A nice snippet there, but then I saw this (hope the link works):

Priceless Viola Lee footage from the Monterrey Pop Festival.

What a vibe

It's funny how guitar straps were really short back then.

[caspersvapors]

uhh no they werent thats just how Jerry wore his, if you see Hendrix or Clapton in 68 they arent wearing their shit that high

[st. stephen]

yeah, today there are bands(arctic monkeys) wearing the straps like jerry there, has nothing to do with the time....
still looks funny

[deadguise]

Duh, I was being sarcastic. Almost everybody back then wore the guitar up high, it is easier to play that way. It just doen't look cool now...
