This is my theory based on my personal observations as a frequent show goer and LWJM listener:

During the fall solo tour, at a show in Houston, Texas there was a woman in the crowd that caught JM’s attention, I noticed that her appearance resembled the girl in TSFE drawing, and she was wearing a green dress.

At the opening show for Dead and Company last year, I noticed a lyric change for “Don’t Ease Me In.” The part where it says “The girl I love, she’s sweet and true, you know the dress she wears sweet mama, is pink and blue” There was a lyric swap from *pink* to *green*

On LWJM he chose a song by Jenna Raine for NMFT called “Hitchhiking” that he chose to play and he stated that the chorus moved him, the chorus says “Take me back to Texas, we were driving reckless, looked at you with diamonds in my eyes, knew without a doubt you were my end game…”

JM wore green all three nights of The Grateful Dead 60th anniversary celebration in August 2025 as well as the red carpet appearance for Jeff Ross’s show.

I don’t think choosing to wear green for those very public events and the changing of the lyric are any coincidence. Just my take!

I personally don’t believe he even knows her name. I think she is still very much a mystery to even him. “Just a Face in the Crowd” another song he plays occasionally on the channel by Tom Petty.
