Jerry Garcia

Before coming up with albums like Run for the Roses and Cats Under the Stars, Jerry Garcia was a part of the US Army. The legendary singer drafted himself into active service as a punishment for his misdeeds.

After completing his training at the Fort Ord facility, he found himself stationed at San Francisco’s Presidio. During his time as a military man, Garcia missed roll calls and spent most of his time leisurely engaged, and this was enough to get him discharged from service. Fortunately for us, he got out and went on to form the iconic band Grateful D**d!
