And the live show is still our main thing.
Jerry Garcia

The world has to tell us. In other words, we don't have an agenda or a battle plan or a map or a direction or anything. We're just going along, and our world is telling us.

In this universe the top end is light and the bottom end is real hard stuff.

And Warner Bros. seems to be pretty much into re-releasing all of their catalog. So there's the Warner Bros. stuff and the stuff that we have control over, we're gradually re-releasing it. Some stuff we don't have control over.

We would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life, a simple life, a good life.

But audio is a component of video, so there's always been that anyway, and although we've never expressed a visual side apart from the Grateful Dead movie, I don't find it that remote, you know what I mean? It's a departure of sorts, but it's like a first cousin.

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