I have all the patience in the world about Sirens. For me it's not a Grateful Dead project, it's a Me project.

Most musicians, regardless of what culture they come from, can get together and agree on some stuff about music. As there is going to be a common ground.

And as far as I'm concerned, it's like I say, drugs are not the problem. Other stuff is the problem.

If you assume you haven't learned anything yet, there's no reason your playing can't stay dynamic all your life.

Now there is no place you can go where you don't hear certain types of music.

... Grateful Dead - that's it !! ... nobody in the band liked it, (the name) I didn't like it, either, but it got around that that was one of the candidates for our new name, and everyone else said, 'Yeah, that's great.' It turned out to be tremendously lucky. It's just repellent enough to filter curious onlookers and just quirky enough that parents don't like it.

If you are picking the lesser of two evils, you are still picking Evil.
