Jerry Garcia Quotes About 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.'

As long as we can play, we'll play, regardless of what it's for, who it's for or anything. It's fun for us - that's the important thing.
