Sometimes you have to be clever.
Jerry Garcia
Image
With the recognition comes additional responsibility, because then we're no longer a one-shot. We're now part of the environment.
Jerry Garcia
Image
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.
Jerry Garcia

At some point or another, our boundaries run into the boundaries of the exterior reality. Like we run into laws and other things that we don't own or don't have control over.
Jerry Garcia

Stuff that's hidden and murky and ambiguous is scary because you don't know what it does.

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.

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.

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

It's much too late to do anything about rock & roll now.
Jerry Garcia
Image
The real problems are cultural. The problems of the people who take drugs as a cultural trap - I think there's a real problem there, the crack stuff, the hopelessness of the junkie. The urban angst.

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

Magic is what we do, music is how we do it.

The only way things work around here is if everybody wants it to work. If everybody wants it to work, then it has a prayer. Even then, there's no guarantee. But at least it has a prayer.
