More quotes by 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.
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.
Jerry Garcia
So we are pretty convinced we don't want to play huge stadiums unless we can play them well.
Jerry Garcia
Right now, America is under the gun. It's being tested and is being co-opted in a big way.
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
Some things may work, but they definitely won't work every time. Some things may work at various times.
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
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 sat down to my supper, twas a bottle of red whiskey.
Jerry Garcia
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.
Jerry Garcia
The point is there is more information now then you can pass along comfortably in an oral tradition, say a strictly speaking culture. That is a problem.
Jerry Garcia
And as far as I'm concerned, it's like I say, drugs are not the problem. Other stuff is the problem.
Jerry Garcia
You don't want to be the best at what you do, you want to be the only one.
Jerry Garcia
Western ears have a hard time hearing anything that isn't in four-four time. A lot of cultures experience music in five-eight, for example, five-four.
Jerry Garcia
The sun will shine in my back door one day.
Jerry Garcia
Each person makes their own decision about what it is that is happening, whether they like it or don't like it, whether they want to lend their energy to it or not or what, you know.
Jerry Garcia
Magic is what we do, music is how we do it.
Jerry Garcia
Nothing left to do but smile.
Jerry Garcia
