Trapped in time and I don't know what to do
These friends of mine I can see right through.
You don't gotta tell me that I don't gotta move
'Cause I'm just sittin' back here sharing in the groove.
Me no are no nice guy
I walk through the hallways inside my mind
I chase the backbeat falling behind
Big dude in the doorway blocking my way
He reached and grabbed me and this is what he said:
Me no are no nice guy
Weir spoke of a "cosmic, out-of-body vision" he had, and a subsequent dream, of the band continuing for decades hence:
"We were playing...and suddenly I was viewing this from about 20 feet behind my head, and I looked over at John from that point of view and it was 20 years later and John was almost fully gray. I looked over at Oteil and his hair was white. I looked over to my left and Jeff's hair was all gray." [Then, looking to where he, Hart and Kreutzmann would be playing,] "it was new guys, younger guys holding forth, doing a great job...playing with fire and aplomb....It changed my whole view of what it is that we're up to. I find myself wondering, 'Well, what are they gonna be saying about this new approach or this honoring of this tradition? What are they gonna be saying about that in 200 or 300 years at the Berklee School of Music?' That's the kind of stuff that goes through my head now because this legacy here, there's a chance now that they'll be talking about us in years to come. So I find it incumbent on myself to think in those terms."
Of course there will be DeadMart cover bands with "fake John" contestants.
"I remember one time after the Watts Acid Test, which was particularly strange. You know, it’s dawn. We drove the bus over to the Watts Towers. We got out and looked at em. See, the city of Los Angeles said, ‘These things are dangerous. They’re gonna fall down and hurt somebody.’ So they moved wreckers, and things like that in there, and cranes, and they tried to pull down this guy’s towers after he was dead. They couldn’t budge em. They couldn’t pull em down. So they said, ‘Well, they’re solid.’ So now they’re in the tourist pamphlets and things like that.
But my thoughts about that were something like, ‘Well, if you work by yourself as hard as you can, every day, after you’re dead, you’ve left something behind that they can’t tear down, you know. If you work real hard, that’s the payoff. The individual artist’s payoff, that thing that exists after you’re dead. You know, and I thought, ‘Wow, that’s not it for me.’ Instead of making something that lasts forever, I thought, I think I’d rather have fun. For me it was more important to be involved in something that was flowing and dynamic and not so solid that you couldn’t tear it down."
