Bob Weir, the legendary songwriter, guitarist and co-founding member of the Grateful Dead, died earlier this month at 78. An eclectic group of people — not limited to John Mayer and Nancy Pelosi — gathered in San Francisco, Weir’s birthplace, on Saturday to memorialize a music-filled life well led. Mayer played a beautiful rendition of “Ripple,” one of the few songs Weir sang during the Dead’s early years. 

Welcome to the new week! I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. It’s a bit sad to transition back to the workweek, isn’t it? Let's take a moment to recap the weekend.
