I am really passionate about how the power of music can inspire and motivate people to do great things in the world. As a fan of the Dead for many years I have been fortunate enough to meet some amazing people at events all over the world. I truly enjoy sharing great stories about how this music has changed so many peoples lives. During the last few years I have pulled together some of my favorite quotes about the dead and here are some of them:
You got to listen to the heavens, you got to try to understand. The greatness of their movement is just as small as it is grand. - Grateful Dead, Walk In The Sunshine
There is a road, no simple highway, between the dawn and the dark of night. Your journey won’t be easy, but it’s your road and yours alone. Keep moving forward.
Well there’s no need for you to be worryin’ about all those people. You never see those people anyway”
-Morning Dew
Don't be a collector of more than you need, got a lot of things growing, but keep watching your seeds. - Grateful Dead, One Thing To Try
Without love in the dream it will never come true.
Believe you can and you’re halfway there. If you don’t believe in yourself, who will?
To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe.
Jerry Garcia
If you get confused just listen to the music play.
If life gets you down, get right back up and focus on what’s important.
There’s a lot there to enlarge you. That’s part of the value of being in an extended family is that it enlarges you. It makes you bigger. It makes you more. Jerry Garcia
We can share women, we can share wine. We can share what we got of yours, cause we done shared all of mine. - Grateful Dead, Jack Straw
Every silver lining’s got a touch of grey.
With 365 days in a year, there will no doubt be pain and sorrow, but whatever happens, push through it. There will be a rainbow after the storm.
The nature of what we’re doing is something, which is by its very nature, is non-formulaic. There’s no way that you can make it happen by intention alone. It’s something that you have to sort of allow it to happen, and you have to allow for it to happen.
Jerry Garcia
