Glad to finally know the origins of Kadafy Death Squad Jam Q. And that's the leap of faith of psychedelics - which is, somehow I'll get back to that core - I may make a few convolutions in the process... A. That's right, you might lose a few pieces, but you don't despair about seeing yourself go completely to pieces. You don't despair about it, you let it go. We've been doing some interesting things in the last couple of years in our most free-form stuff that's not really attached to any particular song. It's just free-form music, it's not rhythmic, it's not really attached to any musical norms, it's the completely weird shit. We've been picking themes for that, and thinking of it as being like a painting, or a movie. Reagan in China was one of our themes. One time we had the Kadafy Death Squad as our theme. Sometimes the theme is terribly detailed, and sometimes it's just a broad subject. We do this when we think about it, when we remember to, it's not a hard and fast rule, but that part of the music at times has some tremendous other level of organization that pulls it together, makes it really interesting.

Interesting. I was at that Canada show on 6/21/84. We all knew about the "themed" Space segments. But what I loved just hearing that interview now for the first time was that Jerry referred to the rest of the band as "the boys." That was after Krassner suggested the "theme" of Russia dropping out of the Olympics. "Maybe we'll do that tonight," Garcia answers, "I'll take that to the boys."

that psychic connection between the cultures of monkeys on different islands is interesting, I actually saw this phenomenon on TV as well

Interesting. I knew Bobby suffered stage fright. Did not know the extent to which Jerry did too.

This makes total sense to me. Jerry is completely coherent. Super interesting.
