Hippie Bill...He's gone...
...RIP.
From Ratdog FB page:
"Hey Everyone... If you weir a fan of Ratdog, then you loved Hippie Bill... Few months ago we did a fundraiser for him, and raised over 3k.. Now, several months later, it is time that we show him some Love, and some direction "Home". He's at the end of his road, the end of his last "tour", the encore is playing, and he needs some love and light to push his Earthly body to the "next realm" (as he used to refer to it as). Please pray,vibe, whatever you wanna call it, and send him some energy and love. For he gave us all so much.
RATDOG FAMILY 4EVER. NFA to all and ty"

Re: Hippie Bill...
Thank you for the heads up. Hippie Bill is such a nice guy. I wish him all the best. Twice I’ve had the chance to look him in the eyes and both times I knew we were on the same exact plane. Something very comforting.

By the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs

Re: Hippie Bill...
Oh man... Just a real genuine guy. Had a nice conversation with him in Buffalo '06, after a RD show. I have his autograph.
Always enjoyed seeing him on tour. I hope he trasitions peacefully.

Re: Hippie Bill...
I've missed Hippy Bill waving that flag across the stage. May the four winds blow him safely home. NFA GD Fam!
If you get confused, listen to the music play!

Love and positive vibes to you and your family Hippie Bill! May peace be with all of you. You are a true member of the Grateful Dead family always
Re: Hippie Bill...
Thank you, kind sir, for an incredibly good time! When I think back at some of my best Ratdog memories, Hippie Bill is usually there. Whether he was roaming the lots BEFORE the show, running around the stage DURING the show fixing equipment problems, or passing out setlists to the audience AFTER the show...the dude was a true workaholic! I guess he was the glue that held the Ratdog beast together for some years. Everywhere I looked there was Mr. Hippie Bill.
Keep waving that flag sir...your journey has just begun!
