Jerry Garcia Quote: “But audio is a component of video, so there’s always been that anyway, and although we’ve never expressed a visual side apart from the Grateful Dead movie, I don’t find it that remote, you know what I mean? It’s a departure of sorts, but it’s like a first cousin.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “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.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “For me, the lame part of the Sixties was the political part, the social part. The real part was the spiritual part.”

Jerry Garcia Quote: “I’m shopping around for something to do that no one will like.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “Hang me, oh, hang me, so I’ll be dead and gone. I wouldn’t mind hanging, boys, but you wait in jail so long.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “It’s a joke. Greed and the desire to take drugs are two separate things. If you want to separate the two, the thing you do is make drugs legal. Accept the reality that people do want to change their consciousness, and make an effort to make safer, healthier drugs.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “In folk music, I’ve always been fond of the fragment. The song that has one verse. And you don’t know anything about the characters, you don’t know what they’re doing, but they’re doing something important. I love that. I’m really a sucker for that kind of song.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “Hunter can write a melody and stuff like that, but his forte is lyrics. He can write a serviceable melody to hang his lyrics on, and sometimes he comes up with something really nice.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “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 Quote: “What’s been great about the human race gives you a sense of how great you might get, how far you can reach.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “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 Quote: “The bigger issue, was the whole takeover of the food industry by big corporations.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “And when you don’t have to talk to the person next to you, that’s real clean. Takes a certain thing not to try to keep anything up, not to have to entertain one another.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “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 Quote: “And as far as I’m concerned, it’s like I say, drugs are not the problem. Other stuff is the problem.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “I don’t know why, it’s the same reason why you like some music and you don’t like others. There’s something about it that you like. Ultimately I don’t find it’s in my best interests to try and analyze it, since it’s fundamentally emotional.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “And for me there’s still more material than 20 lifetimes that I can use up.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “I don’t think that Slaughterhouse-Five was successful movie material. In fact, Vonnegut’s books mostly I don’t feel are movie material.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “Death comes at you no matter what you do in this life, and to equate drugs with death is a facile comparison.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “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 Quote: “Don’t tell me this town ’aint got no heart.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “I’m not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it’s just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There’s a lot of people who are committed to – soulfully.”

Jerry Garcia Quote: “And the live show is still our main thing.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “Yeah, I think we have to. If we want our shows to be – if we want the quality of the shows to be good, and we want the energy to be high, and if we want to be in good enough physical shape to do them, and not exhaust ourselves on the road, and not get stale, we have to pace.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “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 Quote: “The alternate media are becoming important and viable alternatives to playing live. Records, videos, that kind of thing. They’re going to start to count for something. Because there’s only a limited amount of us-time available to us.”
Jerry Garcia Quote: “So it’s one of those things where we have to – our problem is pacing ourselves and still reaching a large enough number of our audience. Because we don’t want to burn the audience. And we don’t want to be excluding anybody.”
