21. #3 Is A Tricky Question

But, I'm going with Arnold Rothstein who turned Luciano & Lansky from street thugs into businessmen.
He also financed Luciano's earliest liquor selling efforts.
We might say Maranzano, who came up with the "all bosses are equal" idea, although he never fulfilled his promises. Later, Luciano did, by forming The Commission.

36. Which two members of The Grateful Dead were nearly fired in October, 1968?

[Brother Buzz]

37. Pigpen had to one of them.

Pigpen was a force to reckon, and totally a natural leader; there was some real friction going on back then regarding vision and direction.

Weir might have been the other because he was in both Pigpen and Garcia's camp.

[red dog 1]

38. WinnerWinnerChickenDinner!!

In the fall of 1968, the Dead played some concerts without Weir and Pigpen

From his biography of Jerry Garcia, Blair Jackson wrote:
"Garcia and Lesh determined that Weir and Pigpen were not pulling their weight musically in the band.
Most of the band fights at this time were about Bobby's guitar playing."

Late in the year, the band relented and took Pigpen and Weir back in full time.

[Brother Buzz]

39. Can you imagine if Pigpen didn't drink, and he prevailed, what direction the...

Grateful Dead would have gone?

Roots, Baby!

Folk, blues, western, and a whole lot of other largely untapped genres.

[red dog 1]

40. Also there's this,

"By the early 1970's, [Pigpen] would also experience symptoms of congenital primary biliary cholangitis, a rare autoimmune disease which was unrelated to his use of alcohol."
(Wikipedia)

He died at 27, ..way too soon.

[Brother Buzz]

41. Yes, but I understand the alcohol totally exasperated the condition

Had he stopped drinking, he would not have been a charter member of the '27' club

[Brother Buzz]

43. John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) was requested to sing Mickey Mouse Club at Mickey's funeral....
