And As Far As I'm Concerned, It's

We Were Very Fortunate To Have A A Little Time In History When Lsd Was Still Legal And Were Able To Experiment With Drugs Just Like We Were Doing With Music.

For Me, The Lame Part Of The Sixties Was The Political Part, The Social Part. The Real Part Was The Spiritual Part.

Music Goes Way Back Before Language Does. And Music Is Like The Key To A Whole Spiritual Existence Which This Society Doesn't Even Talk About. We Know It's There. The Grateful Dead Plays At Religious Services Essentially. We Play At The Religious Services Of The New Age. Everybody Gets High, And That's What It's All About Really. Getting High Is A Lot More Real Than Listening To A Politician. You Can Think That Getting High Actually Did Happen - That You Danced, And Got Sweaty, And Carried On. It Really Did Happen. I Know When It Happens. I Know It When It Happens Every Time.

Sometimes The Lights All Shining On Me, Other Times I Can Barely See. Lately It Occurs To Me What A Long Strange Trip It's Been.

Truth Is Something You Stumble Into When You Think You're Going Someplace Else.
