We Hide Ourselves In Our Music To

People Are Afraid Of Themselves, Of Their Own Reality; Their Feelings Most Of All. People Talk About How Great Love Is, But That's Bullshit. Love Hurts. Feelings Are Disturbing. People Are Taught That Pain Is Evil And Dangerous. How Can They Deal With Love If They're Afraid To Feel? Pain Is Meant To Wake Us Up. People Try To Hide Their Pain. But They're Wrong. Pain Is Something To Carry, Like A Radio. You Feel Your Strength In The Experience Of Pain. It's All In How You Carry It.

The Gate Is Straight, Deep And Wide, Break On Through To The Other Side...

In The Beginning We Were Creating Our Music, Ourselves, Every Night . . . Starting With A Few Outlines, Maybe A Few Words For A Song. Sometimes We Worked Out In Venice, Looking At The Surf. We Were Together A Lot And It Was Good Times For All Of Us. Acid, Sun, Friends, The Ocean, And Poetry And Music.

I See Myself As An Intelligent, Sensitive Human, With The Soul Of A Clown Which Forces Me To Blow It At The Most Important Moments.

I Like To Let Each Thing Happen - Direct It A Little Consciously, Maybe - But Just Kind Of Follow The Vibrations I Get In Each Particular Circumstance. We Don't Plan Theatrics. We Hardly Ever Know Which Set We'll Play.
