Who is a better guitarist Jerry Garcia or Jimi Hendrix?
Depends on what style of guitar you like. No doubt as a shredder, Yngwie was far more technically proficient and revolved his style around the diminished E scale, however, Jimi had more interesting songs and had that soul aspect that technical playing can't always bring.
Technically he does. He's just dead.
"Santa" is a nickname for a real man known as Saint Nicolas, who was a Bishop from the 4th Century.
Saint Nicolas largely devoted his life to children and orphans, bringing them gifts and food on Christmas Day.
So, Santa, or Saint Nicolas as his real name is, actually does exist, but he's been dead for thousands of years. He is the founding father of gift-giving at Christmas time.
The red outfit that Santa wears however is fictional. Saint Nicolas wore the standard Bishop uniform through his life (which was green). The red outfit was actually invented by Coca-Cola in one of their Christmas adverts, because the colour of Coca-cola is red and green represented one of their rival companies which produced lemonade.

There were four keyboardists all together. They all died. Even after the Jerry's death. Vince Welnick the last keyboardist killed himself about 3 years ago. The keyboardists were: Ron McKernan (Pig Pen), Keith Godchaux, Brent Midland. and Vince Welnick. All of the keyboardists met untimely deaths. I interviewed Vince In 1997 and asked him if he was worries about the Curse and he said " I was dying of boredom anyway!" It was a standard answer that he gave to all interviewers. I was supposed to to interview Vince again the day he killed himself. It makes you wonder. Vince was never brought into the family by anyone but Jerry. Vince said that Jerry was like Santa Clause. Anything you needed he made sure you you got.
