uncle john's band
I haven't seen the article, but I am fond of both John the Baptist and the Dead song, and yet I've never sensed even the slightest connection between the two. More likely John here is just a twist upon Jerry (Garcia) for a host of reasons (cf. Julian, Jules, Lennon's first son, as the inspiration for "Hey Jude"), yielding not an identification but an artistic suggestion.
