There Is No Dogma, There Isn't Anything

There's A Need For A Ritual And For Real Joy And Real Bliss. Real Fun.

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.

You Listen To A Politician Making A Speech, And It Is Like Hearing Nothing. Whereas, Music Is Unmistakably Music. The Thing About Music Is That Nobody Listens To It Unless It's Real. I Don't Think That You Can Fool Anybody For Too Long In Music. And You Certainly Can't Fool Everybody.

The Satisfaction Of Producing A Work Of Art Is The Thing Of Getting Off On It On Some Level.

You Have To Be Ready, And Also You Have To Discard Notions That Are Fondly Held By A Lot Of Musicians, About Sequences And Notes And About Scales And Musical Systems As A Whole. If You Think Of Music As A Language, The Space Part Is Where You Throw Out All The Syntax.
