Dreams Sometimes Foretell The Future.

The Grateful Dead Were Very Kind. It Was Santa Claus. It Did Good Things. It Allowed Other People To Benefit. The Benefits That We Played Were Enormous, And We Played Free. So You've Got A Band That Loves To Play Free, And That Was A Wonderful Thing.

What Is The Best Music Is Impossible To Define. Just Because It's Played By A Virtuoso Player, Doesn't Mean It's Great Music. It Might Not Reflect The Soul Of A People, Which Is Really My Criteria For Great Music.

The Adventure Of Composition Is A Mystery. The Muse Has Her Ways, She Hides From You, Comes For You In The Middle Of The Night, At Midday, At Dawn. You Must Believe Wholeheartedly In This Divine Power. Its An Elusive Gift That Can Appear At Any Time, Anywhere. Artists Are In Awe Of It.

The Musical Mystery Is: How Do You Marry Tuned Percussion And Voice? On A Metaphorical Level, Everything That's Really Important - Like The Clouds, The Sky And The Earth - Is A Giant Mystery.

When I Heard Grateful Dead Music, I Knew That It Was The Most Powerful Force On The Planet.
