What We Need Is Something, A Definition Of A Human, Starting From The Ground Up, So That The Suitable Moral Structure That Goes Around It Makes Sense. The Context Has To Come From The Human First, Rather Than Bits And Pieces Of Fragments Of Old Religion And All Of The Old Moral Superstructure, Whatever It Used To Be.

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.

We Are Experiencing A Real Confusion Here In The United States, You Know. Why Is It Ok To Drink, But It's Not Ok To Take Drugs? Blah, Blah, Blah. What's A Crime? What's Criminality? What Can You Do, What Can't You Do, And So Forth. All These Things Are Really Confusing. A Lot Of It Is Really Contradictory; It Doesn't Really Make Sense.

Everybody Needs Adventure, And Everybody Needs Something To Enlarge His Or Her Lives.
