New Interview with Bob Weir

thanks

Nice work, Mike. Always cool to get it straight from the proverbial horse's mouth, wherever that weird cliche came from.

Bob had some interesting things to say about dreaming at the end of the interview:

I’m pretty sure that songs come from the same world we go to when we’re dreaming.  At any moment a song can come from there. It’s every bit as real when you’re in there, as what we call reality here. I get the feeling I meet the characters that show up in the songs when I’m sleeping. And I develop a pregnant relationship with them, and get to know them before they have to pop out into this world and tell their stories.

Driftin' and dreamin'....

My first show.  Cue up the Sugar Magnolia and listen to Bob blow some girl's mind with his "Aborigine Rap" about dreams and reality.

I love how serious Bobby takes the Grateful Dead catalog. Those songs mean the world to him.

If you don't like Weir you can fuck right off (i'm looking at you Thom)

Nice interview.  Wish it was a bit longer.  Bobs sounds much more intelligent in print than he does trying to communicate verbally.
