Now There Is No Place You Can

In My Own Musical Existence I Don't Feel That Being A Guitar Player Is Like The Best Thing On Earth To Be. I Would Rather Be A Balanced Musician. Playing In A Group, I'm Tending To Think More About The Music And Less About The Guitar. That's Just Me Getting Older. I'm Not Interested In Being A Virtuoso Guitar Player Or Anything Like That.

... Grateful Dead - That's It !! ... Nobody In The Band Liked It, (the Name) I Didn't Like It, Either, But It Got Around That That Was One Of The Candidates For Our New Name, And Everyone Else Said, 'yeah, That's Great.' It Turned Out To Be Tremendously Lucky. It's Just Repellent Enough To Filter Curious Onlookers And Just Quirky Enough That Parents Don't Like It.

What We're Thinking About Is A Peaceful Planet. We're Not Thinking About Anything Else. We're Not Thinking About Any Kind Of Power. We're Not Thinking About Any Kind Of Struggles. We're Not Thinking About Revolution Or War Or Any Of That. That's Not What We Want. Nobody Wants To Get Hurt. Nobody Wants To Hurt Anybody. We Would All Like To Be Able To Live An Uncluttered Life. A Simple Life, A Good Life. And Think About Moving The Whole Human Race Ahead A Step, Or A Few Steps.

Our Strong Suit Is What We Do, And Our Audience.

I Don't Feel That One Instrument Has More Weight Than Others. Any Sound That You Can Produce Adds To Your Vocabulary Of Possibilities.
