And For Me There's Still More Material

Right Now, America Is Under The Gun. It's Being Tested And Is Being Co-opted In A Big Way.

What We Do Is As American As Lynch Mobs. America Has Always Been A Complex Place.

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.

If You Can Create A Reality That Is Entirely Fictitious, It Doesn't Owe Anything To This Stuff Out Here, But You Interact With It On Your Own Terms. I Mean, If You Took It To The Point Where Finally You Get, Say, Tactile Feedback, So You Were Wired In In Terms Of The Whole Nervous System. The Sensorium. You Would Have The Ultimate Art Form. I Mean, Any Painter Would Want It, Any Filmmaker Would Want Access To It You Know, Any Musician Would Want Access To It. It Would Eliminate The Need For The Divisions Between What We Describe As The Arts, Converting The Whole Thing To Experience.

Why It's Okay For People To Tape The Shows? Because Even So, There's No Way You Can Bottle Up The Experience. You Can Take The Notes Home, But That Experience Is One You Have To Be There.
