More quotes by 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.

Image
And the live show is still our main thing.
Jerry Garcia
Image
Listening. That's what music is about. You hear it. And I'd listen to it and something would move me one way or another and I would try and play it.

If the thunder don't get ya then the lightning will.
Jerry Garcia

I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem. But drugs are just drugs.
Jerry Garcia

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