This would be a great intro for a rap song btw.


Edit: thanks for the likes!
Now someone put this on a beat!!

[bigtay]

now here's a 17 minute guitar solo

Addendum: I actually like the Dead and I'm just goofing on guitar players because I am one now but started as a drummer.

"LSD & Cocaine are not drugs...they have effects and will get you high...but they're not drugs" Jerry Garcia

"Rap is Not Music, it's talking." Well rapped, Jerry.

Jerry Garcia: “Now Lil B on the other hand…”

[Rotbeam]

"Rap is not music. It has rhythm and it has meter and let me just trail off of this sentence because it's starting to disprove my own point... but it's not music!"

[mikxly]

"Music is generally defined as the art of arranging sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm, or otherwise expressive content"

[endorphinstudios]

Very few people know that Jerry's last words were "John Mayer sucks".

[Builderdrone]

This is coming from a guy that grew up in a generation where his parents would tell him that rock ‘n’ roll wasn’t music. All four of my grandparents thought that rock ‘n’ roll was nothing but noise.

[Oldscule]

I listen to this and it throws me back to when the same thing was said about Rock and Roll. They never learn....

[Constable_Chud]

"Anyways... You fellas want to share a sheet of acid with me?"

[supernewuser]

“Thank you sir. Now could you please tell me your order? You’re holding up the drive thru..”

[emperortrevornorton]

I love Jerry's natural talking voice it sounded like a family member almost

This interview was from over 30yrs ago and Jerry was a boomer even then, literally! I have no doubts that given the chance to evolve his opinion on this subject through more and more exposure to the genre over the years he would have revised his proclamation seen in this clip. He definitely would have come to recognize Rap as well deserving of the classification “music.”🎶

[BrandonWillWin]

Someone edit this speech with a trap beat under it

[madtonesbr]

Damn imagine when Jerry finds out there’s music with no singing in it 😮

[jimfish]

I like bands and the chemistry that is able to come from a collection of people playing different instruments

[Yeayeaman]

I feel like people who don't listen to a certain genre shouldn't comment on that genre since the only knowledge that they have of the genre is what's popular. Rap seemed repetitive to me when I was younger only because i heard the mainstream songs, but once i dug deeper into rap, it ended up being my favorite genre. All it takes to understand something is to do research. Being ignorant to something at first glance creates stubbornness. We have the devices we have now for a reason.
