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

This virtual reality stuff is the technological equivalent, really, of psychedelics.

I recognize that as a musician there is a certain chauvinism attached to it, which is the thing of, "I spent my time learning how to play. You didn't spend time learning how to play, therefore, you are not a musician."

The alternate media are becoming important and viable alternatives to playing live. Records, videos, that kind of thing. They're going to start to count for something. Because there's only a limited amount of us-time available to us.

So we are pretty convinced we don't want to play huge stadiums unless we can play them well.

Each person makes their own decision about what it is that is happening, whether they like it or don't like it, whether they want to lend their energy to it or not or what, you know.

You can't repeat things because each time is different. The universe has changed. Everything has changed.
