If the thunder don't get ya then the lightning will.

I think that America is in danger of losing its adventurous spirit in the cause of some kind of illusion of safety, or substitute of law and order there.

I think that the revolution in music is over, and what's left is a mop-up action. It's a matter of the news getting out to everybody else. I think that the important changes have already happened, changes in consciousness. It's mostly a matter of everything else catching up to that. Everything is traditionally slow - much faster than it ever has been on earth but still far, far too slow.

To me, that's the key thing, the pursuit of happiness. That's the basic, ultimate freedom.

The world that you can go walk outside and walk around the block. That's reality. The reality that's being talked about is something else entirely.

There are any number of things that survive great, and don't need any kind of consciousness, so why bother going through all the trouble of evolving monkeys that don't run very well or climb very fast or have particularly sharp teeth, but have big heads.

If you think of music as a universal language, it still has some very powerful dialects.
