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.

More quotes by Jerry Garcia
Done time in the lock-up, done time on the streets. Done time on the upswing, and time in defeat. I know what I'm askin'. I know it's a lot. Just to say that I love you. Believe it or not.
Jerry Garcia
The sun will shine in my back door one day.
Jerry Garcia
Now there is no place you can go where you don't hear certain types of music.
Jerry Garcia
I sat down to my supper, twas a bottle of red whiskey.
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
Every silver lining has a touch of grey.
Jerry Garcia
This virtual reality stuff is the technological equivalent, really, of psychedelics.
Jerry Garcia
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.
Jerry Garcia
Music is more objective, I think, than a lot of art is, but a surprising amount of it is cultural.
Jerry Garcia
Right now, America is under the gun. It's being tested and is being co-opted in a big way.
Jerry Garcia
We're involved in a society which is undergoing some really weird changes now.
Jerry Garcia
We would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life, a simple life, a good life.
Jerry Garcia
It's odd that there is a high level of appreciation of nature. There is the aesthetic side that really loves nature and beauty.
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.
Jerry Garcia
I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.
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.
Jerry Garcia
If you assume you haven't learned anything yet, there's no reason your playing can't stay dynamic all your life.
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
