There is no dogma, there isn't anything about how the universe works.
Jerry Garcia

And as far as I'm concerned, it's like I say, drugs are not the problem. Other stuff is the problem.

Sometimes you have to be clever.

I like all the kinds of music I've been into. I'm certainly not a purist in that I will only play country licks in a country song or blues licks in blues stuff. The thing I would like to be able to do is to make the music sound right no matter what it is. If somebody else wants to have a label for it, then that's their business.

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.

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.

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

Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.

The satisfaction of producing a work of art is the thing of getting off on it on some level.

I am not a keyboard person. The mouse is better.

I'm shopping around for something to do that no one will like.

It's a joke. Greed and the desire to take drugs are two separate things. If you want to separate the two, the thing you do is make drugs legal. Accept the reality that people do want to change their consciousness, and make an effort to make safer, healthier drugs.

Stuff that's hidden and murky and ambiguous is scary because you don't know what it does.
Jerry Garcia
Image
Done time in the lock-up, done time on the streets. Done time on the upswing, and time in defeat. I know what I'm askin'. I know it's a lot. Just to say that I love you. Believe it or not.

It's odd that there is a high level of appreciation of nature. There is the aesthetic side that really loves nature and beauty.

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.

If something doesn't work, it becomes obvious immediately. This just isn't going to work.

The Japanese are hard to figure out.

Music is more objective, I think, than a lot of art is, but a surprising amount of it is cultural.

You have to get past the idea that music has to be one thing. To be alive in America is to hear all kinds of music constantly: radio, records, churches, cats on the street, everywhere music. And with records, the whole history of music is open to everyone who wants to hear it.
