We would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life, a simple life, a good life.
Jerry Garcia
Image
And the live show is still our main thing.
Jerry Garcia

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.
Jerry Garcia
Image
Truth is something you stumble into when you think you're going someplace else.
Jerry Garcia
Image
This virtual reality stuff is the technological equivalent, really, of psychedelics.
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
Image
And as far as I'm concerned, it's like I say, drugs are not the problem. Other stuff is the problem.
Jerry Garcia

What we need is something, a definition of a human, starting from the ground up, so that the suitable moral structure that goes around it makes sense. The context has to come from the human first, rather than bits and pieces of fragments of old religion and all of the old moral superstructure, whatever it used to be.

The sun will shine in my back door one day.
Jerry Garcia
Image
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

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

You have to get past the idea that music has to be one thing. To be alive in America is to hear all kinds of music constantly: radio, records, churches, cats on the street, everywhere music. And with records, the whole history of music is open to everyone who wants to hear it.
Jerry Garcia
Image
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
Image
In this universe the top end is light and the bottom end is real hard stuff.
Jerry Garcia
Image
If the thunder don't get ya then the lightning will.

I'll try any guitar just to see if it's different in an effort to see if it will lead me anywhere. I'm trying to have a guitar built. What's needed is better instruments, better amplifiers, better hardware for electric music to get better.

It's odd that there is a high level of appreciation of nature. There is the aesthetic side that really loves nature and beauty.
