.....Robert Hunter
I was just sittin' here thinking about all the "...without Jerry" talk that's been swirling around, and it suddenly hits me:
These guys would have been nowhere & nothing without Hunter.
And Barlow.
These 2 wordsmiths brought so much to the table, and yet, amidst all of the "50 year hoopla', I haven't heard too much said about either.
So here's a "hat's off" to these two great lyricists, without whom us deadheads would have had an entirely-different soundtrack in our mis-spent youths!
Thank you, Bobby Hunter & thank you, John Perry Barlow. For all of it. Your words painted the landscape on which this long strange trip has trod...
