A Bunch of Atoms

"I want to make it clear we are not a cult. Jerry Garcia was not the messiah. We weren't gods. We were there every night for the same reason the Deadheads were. We wanted the music to take us to a place of transcendence and elegance. We wanted to reach that group consciousness so we could realize that there was something that was bigger than us-- and whatever it was, we all were an equal part of it, from the guys sweating it out onstage to the girls in line for the bathroom. We are all the same and we are all just a bunch of atoms." ~Bill Kreutzmann
