Death comes at you no matter what you do in this life, and to equate drugs with death is a facile comparison.
Jerry Garcia

The pursuit of happiness is such a large of concept.
Jerry Garcia
Image
I think the Muslim religious is a little too tight. It doesn't fit humans. Humans can't possibly fit into it, so there are a lot of really unhappy people, terribly repressed. It is a religion that works against you because the template don't fit. It's not human, you know.

Every silver lining has a touch of grey.

We've been trying to sell out for years, nobody's buying!

The Japanese are hard to figure out.

We're like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice.

Music is more objective, I think, than a lot of art is, but a surprising amount of it is cultural.
Jerry Garcia
Image
If we had any nerve at all, if we had any real balls as a society, or whatever you need, whatever quality you need, real character, we would make an effort to really address the wrongs in this society, righteously.

But audio is a component of video, so there's always been that anyway, and although we've never expressed a visual side apart from the Grateful Dead movie, I don't find it that remote, you know what I mean? It's a departure of sorts, but it's like a first cousin.

Right now, America is under the gun. It's being tested and is being co-opted in a big way.

One of the things that's attractive about cyberspace is that it can be construed as no threat. If you see it through the video game keyhole, the amusement keyhole, the entertainment keyhole, it is no threat. If you see it through the LSD keyhole, the consciousness-expanding keyhole, it's like electronic drugs: it is a threat.

See, there's only two theaters, man that are set up pretty groovy all around for music and for smooth stage changes, good lighting and all that - the Fillmore and The Capitol Theatre. And those are the only two in the whole country.

You need music, I don't know why. It's probably one of those Joe Campbell questions, why we need ritual. We need magic, and bliss, and power, myth, and celebration and religion in our lives, and music is a good way to encapsulate a lot of it.

This virtual reality stuff is the technological equivalent, really, of psychedelics.

To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe.

In my own musical existence I don't feel that being a guitar player is like the best thing on earth to be. I would rather be a balanced musician. Playing in a group, I'm tending to think more about the music and less about the guitar. That's just me getting older. I'm not interested in being a virtuoso guitar player or anything like that.

I think The Grateful Dead kind of represents the spirit of being able to go out and have an adventure in America at large.

If you assume you haven't learned anything yet, there's no reason your playing can't stay dynamic all your life.
