“I had my first rock and roll experience at a performance of the Grateful Dead…. Rock music had always seemed a bore to me, but I can tell you, at that concert, I found eight thousand people standing in mild rapture for five hours. The place was just a mansion of dance. And I thought, ‘Holy God! Everyone has just lost themselves in everybody else here!'”
( Joseph Campbell, The Mythic Dimension, p. 185)
