Bob Weir

How have you changed - personally, emotionally - since your glorious hippie youth?

[Long Pause] I don't know if there's much that's different now. I've basically been a professional adolescent all my life. I couldn't have been more fortunate. What worked for me then - that outlook still works for me now. It could come crashing down tomorrow. I may be unprepared for something that's right around the corner. But I haven't changed that much. I still keep my eyes as wide open as I can. And I have as much energy to get into as much different stuff as I did when I was in my teens and early twenties.
