“Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.”

The result, I think, is pretty interesting … we don’t expect to make a fortune at it or ever be popular or famous or worshipped or hit The Ed Sullivan Show or the circuses or the big top.

We didn’t invent the Grateful Dead, the crowd invented the Grateful Dead.

Every silver lining has a touch of grey.

America is still mostly xenophobic and racist. That’s the nature of America, I think.

So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come.

There is some art that says the same thing to everybody. WE need something like that. What that is, I don’t know. But virtual reality may be the key to it.

Truth is something you stumble into when you think you’re going someplace else.

What is life but being conscious? And good and evil are manifestations of consciousness. If you reject one, you’re not getting the whole thing that’s there to be had.

Most of Set’s forces were running towards our boat, screaming and throwing rocks (which tended to fall down and hit them, but no one says demons are bright).

Everything I wore was pink and sparkly. And I had an obsession with headbands. I felt like I rocked them, though!

I’ve talked to Bill Clinton – he’s the ultimate rock star; no one’s more charming than him. People clap in a restaurant when he finishes dinner! I don’t get that treatment. I get it when I walk onstage, but not when I have dinner.
