More quotes by Jerry Garcia
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.
Jerry Garcia
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.
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
Music is more objective, I think, than a lot of art is, but a surprising amount of it is cultural.
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
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
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
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
I think The Grateful Dead kind of represents the spirit of being able to go out and have an adventure in America at large.
Jerry Garcia
I have all the patience in the world about Sirens. For me it's not a Grateful Dead project, it's a Me project.
Jerry Garcia
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
The sun will shine in my back door one day.
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
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
Nothing left to do but smile.
Jerry Garcia
Sometimes you have to be clever.
Jerry Garcia
Light shows are sort of a meditative kind of experience, you know. It is not like a shock.
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
