There is no dogma, there isn't anything about how the universe works.
Jerry Garcia
Image
Everybody needs adventure, and everybody needs something to enlarge his or her lives.
Jerry Garcia
Image
I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.

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.

See, there's only two theaters, man that are set up pretty groovy all around for music and for smooth stage changes, good lighting and all that - the Fillmore and The Capitol Theatre. And those are the only two in the whole country.

Nothing left to do but smile.

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

What we do is as American as lynch mobs. America has always been a complex place.
Jerry Garcia
Image
I think that America is in danger of losing its adventurous spirit in the cause of some kind of illusion of safety, or substitute of law and order there.

You have to be ready, and also you have to discard notions that are fondly held by a lot of musicians, about sequences and notes and about scales and musical systems as a whole. If you think of music as a language, the space part is where you throw out all the syntax.

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

The sun will shine in my back door one day.
Jerry Garcia
Image
In this universe the top end is light and the bottom end is real hard stuff.

You don't want to be the best at what you do, you want to be the only one.

We're involved in a society which is undergoing some really weird changes now.
Jerry Garcia
Image
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
Image
Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.
Jerry Garcia
Image
Music is more objective, I think, than a lot of art is, but a surprising amount of it is cultural.
Jerry Garcia

I think the Muslim religious is a little too tight. It doesn't fit humans. Humans can't possibly fit into it, so there are a lot of really unhappy people, terribly repressed. It is a religion that works against you because the template don't fit. It's not human, you know.
