March 2003 marked the 30th anniversary of the passing away of the Grateful Dead's legendary Vox organist and harmonica player Ronald C. McKernan, better known as Pigpen. At the ripe old age of 27, Pigpen had already drunk enough Thunderbird and Southern Comfort to permanently destroy his liver. They found him on March 8, 1973, dead of a gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
