Deadheads oppose renaming Jerry Garcia venue

The San Francisco Chronicle reports more than 1,100 people have signed an online petition opposing any name change to Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in Excelsior, near where the late guitarist grew up. The proposed name is "Levitt Pavilion San Francisco at Jerry Garcia Meadows." Critics say handing it over to Levitt would rob the venue of its independent spirit. The 2,000-seat theater hosts fewer than 10 events a year.
