More quotes by Jerry Garcia
Don't tell me this town 'aint got no heart
Jerry Garcia
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.
Jerry Garcia
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
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
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.
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 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
I mean, just because you're a musician doesn't mean all your ideas are about music. So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come.
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
Magic is what we do, music is how we do it.
Jerry Garcia
Death comes at you no matter what you do in this life, and to equate drugs with death is a facile comparison.
Jerry Garcia
There is some art that says the same thing to everybody. WE need something like that. What that is, I don't know. But virtual reality may be the key to it.
Jerry Garcia
Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it's been.
Jerry Garcia
The pursuit of happiness is an overview kind of thing. It's not in the Bill of Rights.
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
You need to have many points of reference many places to touch down and make contact with.
Jerry Garcia
Truth is something you stumble into when you think you're going someplace else.
Jerry Garcia
The bigger issue, was the whole takeover of the food industry by big corporations.
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
How many Beethovens are there that just for lack of the training, the world doesn't get exposed to.
