Josh Clark Quotations

The Grateful Dead gave birth to punk rock in more ways than we realize. That whole concept of 'Do It Yourself,' giving the finger to The Man, that backlash to the '60s.

It really seemed to come to a boil toward the end of the year, didn't it?

It's pretty amazing to get a chance to play with some of your living heroes. Playing with Trey, Warren and Bob Weir was a thrill for all of us. You hear all the bull -- out there about these supposedly crazed, egomaniacal rock stars, but that's not the case at all. They were all totally sweet. It was cool to realize that you could look up to them and that your idealized vision of these people, our heroes, wasn't shattered. I think that's pretty rare.

I was into grunge, the heavy, distorted guitars, bands like Nirvana. Although, we weren't that good. But I wore the flannels, the long underwear, the whole deal.

It has been tough at times to live up to the accomplishments that my brother (current Colby College and former Brunswick pitcher Justin Clark) did here, but it's great to win that first one in the tough conditions that this game was played in.
