More quotes by Jerry Garcia
But hey, when you live in Watts, you need a little smack to get by, you know what I mean? You need something soft and comfortable in your life, 'cause you're not going to get it from what's around you. And society isn't going to give it to you.
Jerry Garcia
For me, I think the only danger is being too much in love with guitar playing. The MUSIC is the most important thing, and the guitar is only the instrument.
Jerry Garcia
And there's a lot of that stuff with people bringing their kids, kids bringing their parents, people bringing their grandparents - I mean, it's gotten to be really stretched out now. It was never my intention to say, this is the demographics of our audience.
Jerry Garcia
Right now, America is under the gun. It's being tested and is being co-opted in a big way.
Jerry Garcia
I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.
Jerry Garcia
We're involved in a society which is undergoing some really weird changes now.
Jerry Garcia
We are experiencing a real confusion here in the United States, you know. Why is it OK to drink, but it's not OK to take drugs? Blah, blah, blah. What's a crime? What's criminality? What can you do, what can't you do, and so forth. All these things are really confusing. A lot of it is really contradictory it doesn't really make sense.
Jerry Garcia
We didn't invent the Grateful Dead, the crowd invented the Grateful Dead. We were just in line to see what was going to happen.
Jerry Garcia
Everybody needs adventure, and everybody needs something to enlarge his or her lives.
Jerry Garcia
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.
Jerry Garcia
The nature of what we're doing is something, which is by its very nature, is non-formulaic. There's no way that you can make it happen by intention alone. It's something that you have to sort of allow it to happen, and you have to allow for it to happen.
Jerry Garcia
The pursuit of happiness is such a large of concept.
Jerry Garcia
So we are pretty convinced we don't want to play huge stadiums unless we can play them well.
Jerry Garcia
You can't repeat things because each time is different. The universe has changed. Everything has changed.
Jerry Garcia
The sun will shine in my back door one day.
Jerry Garcia
The point is there is more information now then you can pass along comfortably in an oral tradition, say a strictly speaking culture. That is a problem.
Jerry Garcia
In folk music, I've always been fond of the fragment. The song that has one verse. And you don't know anything about the characters, you don't know what they're doing, but they're doing something important. I love that. I'm really a sucker for that kind of song.
Jerry Garcia
It's much too late to do anything about rock & roll now.
Jerry Garcia
We're not uncomfortable with it, and we've already been through enough of the music business where I'm not really worried that commercial success is going to in some way - we're already past saving, you know what I mean? It's too late for us.
Jerry Garcia
I'm not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it's just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.
Jerry Garcia
