Too Much Of A Good Thing Is Just About Right

... 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.

And For Me There's Still More Material Than 20 Lifetimes That I Can Use Up.

Music Is A Universal Language Insofar As You Don't Need To Know Anything Else About A Musician That You Are Playing With Other Than That They Can Play Music. It Doesn't Matter What Their Music Is, You Can Find Something That You Can Play Together, With What Their Culture Is. The Dialect Part Of It Comes Into Play, But Nothing Like The Differentiation That Language Sets Up, For Example.

Things Come Up From The Outside, The Outside World Says, Okay, You Have Do This, You Have To Go Here And Here And Here, And These Are Your Options. You Can Be Here Or You Can Be Here. You Can Do This, Or You Can Do This. You Can Go Here, Or You Can Go There. So Each One Of Those Things Becomes A Place Of Decision, And The Way We Make Decisions Is That We All Get Together And If Somebody Doesn't Feel Right About It Or It Doesn't Seem To Sit Right, Usually We'll Go With The No Vote. If Somebody's Not Comfortable With It, We'll Figure It's Not Going To Be Worth Doing.
